Hey everyone. Welcome to These Are My Friends. This is a music podcast where I talk to friends and family and learn what’s important to them in their musical lives. What songs, bands, or albums set their brain on fire.

This is my friend Jake who is a great artist, welder, and father, and a huge Slipknot fan.

These Are My Friends grew out of a music newsletter I write called Here to Listen. You can also catch Here to Listen on community radio in Southern Vermont on 107.7 FM in Brattleboro and online at wvew.org every Sunday at 12pm EST.
