I first met Jaclyn Piermarini at Bonnaroo 2006 and by the end of that year, we both found ourselves working at the same radio station in Charlottesville, where we worked together for several years. After years in print, commercial & non-commercial radio (music and news), and some TV work as well, she's now part of the great podcast team behind Small Town, Big Crime, which got a nice plug from Buzzfeed back in March. We talked about what putting together a true crime podcast entails, what it was like broadcasting from backstage at Bonnaroo, the important role radio played in our young lives before we even knew it was a job you could have in the real world, how playlists (and before them, mixtapes) can play a very useful role in getting through tough times, and how we're trying to teach our children well. Listen for those stellar parental skills as my son busts in with breaking news about the neighborhood ice cream truck. Enjoy & here is the John Lewis quote I refer to towards the end from Elijah Jacob Mears' Twitter feed (late last year John recorded a video message for Elijah's little sister who was learning about John in school at the time): “Be kind, be hopeful, be optimistic, never get down. It's all gonna be okay, all gonna be alright. We're one people, we're one family. We all live in the same house, not just the American house but the world house. I wish you well.”
