*This episode was initially released on October 20th 2022.
I’ve always liked this interview, and often wished it was promoted properly to our current audience…
Keep in mind it’s almost 3 years old, some stuff is less relevant, some sadly is still extremely relevant.
Jex is one of my favourite artists. I didn’t know him at all in 2022, but we’ve since become friends… so as weird as it is to hear myself stumble through this, it’s an interesting timestamp in a way.
We hope you like!*
