  • Behind the Sound and the Scene w/ David Barbe & Correspondent Kevin Mazzarelli

    This week Christian and Larry hop on a call with Athens, GA luminary and legend, David Barbe. Long a fixture in the Athens music scene as an artist, writer, sound engineer, and

Great storytelling and fascinating backstory.

  • For Music & Love w/ Smokey Brights & Correspondents Erica and Cody Cornwall

    Season 2 kicks off w/ Larry and bringing Kim West and Ryan Devlin, the married couple who formed and front Smokey Brights, one of Seattle's very best/kindest/most talented emerging indie rock bands into the Zoom studio. They get into where and how Kim and Ryan met and started playing songs together, the forming of a musical and life partnership, and just how it is to blend art and love. We do also dig into how much rockin' joy and heart Smokey Brights bring to the stage and the studio every time they show up!

    On top of that we have a stitched together pair of amazing Correspondent stories from Erica Deshner Corwall and her husband Cody Cornwall whose relationship took root at a rock club in Boise, Idaho some years ago when, among many other antics and wonders, Henry Rollins came to town. SO fun, funny, and sweet! Who knew Henry Rollins was a matchmaker...of a sort? Enjoy!

  • Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land, and The Unexpected Summer Read

    This week Larry and Christian loop back to the nagging question of what exactly constitutes a summer read. They give a few of their own takes, but more importantly have a sit down with Pulitzer Prize winning author and all around amazing human, Anthony Doerr. We're going big time on you! Anthony gets into his soon to be released novel, Cloud Cuckoo Land, where the title came from, the intricacies of process and scope he embraced as he wrote this 600-page beauty, and his thoughts, as a writer and reader, on what makes a summer read a summer read.

    Anthony was so great we've skipped the Correspondent this week and just stuck with the man. The Correspondents triple up next week though. Enjoy!

    Cloud Cuckoo Land is released on 9/28 right as summer winds down and we head into fall.

    You can pre-order your copy today if you go to anthonydoerr.com, or to your favorite indie bookseller!

  • The Summer Road Trip

    This week we're hitting the road, or at least discussing the power and majesty of the iconic American road trip in summer (and really always). Larry and Christian sit down with best-selling novelist and road trip aficionado, Jonathan Evison, to talk about how uniquely embedded the movement and ideals of the road trip are in his work, even as Evison has never quite recognized all the road trip nuances in his novels. As well, the gents get into some of their own, and Johnny's, wild antics and adventures on the road!

    Our Road Trip Correspondents lead this week is Jared Bostrom and Dan Delion! Great stuff!

    Be safe, smart, and well, and remember, keep moving the story forward, y'all!
