December 07, 2020 A Return to KEXP
One of the last big normal things we got to do was to take the show on the road in early February. Streets of Seattle. KEXP. Live music in sweaty, rockin' venues! In-studio recordings. Another life, it seems, but one we want to return to as soon as possible. It's fun to time travel with this reboot. Hope you're all being safe, staying healthy, masking up, staying sane, being kind. We're trying our best to. Enjoy. Original show notes below. Hoping to see all these amazing artists in September '21!
See you at the Fest - 9/22-26! Get your tickets at treefortmusicfest.com
This week host Larry Rosen, and Storyfort Director Christian Winn take the podcast on the road and head up to Seattle and the palatial studios of Treefort collaborator and cultural icon KEXP. They talk Treefort and KEXP past, present, future and some New Kids on the Block with DJ Sharlese.
On this episode Larry and Christian also dig into Treefort 2020, starting a record label, marriage and music, and a Freakout Records stage takeover at the Fest with producer and KEXP all-star, Sklyer Locatelli.

November 30, 2020 Dreampop Redux w/ Endless Atlas
Hi, all. We're craving some live music pretty badly right now, like we're sure you all are. So, we wanted to bring back Dale Hiscock and Endless Atlas for some remarkable dreampop! Original show notes below. Take care and be well.
This week Larry and Christian sit down via Zoom with Dale Hiscock, the one-man dream-pop wonder who is Endless Atlas. The music sounds great thanks to Dale's at-home audio engineering prowess! The convo is a tad Zoomifity, but nonetheless it was SO fun to connect with Endless Atlas and now you all in this time of continued stay-at-home-recording/listening reality. Enjoy the music and backstory of one of our Treefort favs, Dale Hiscock and his Endless Atlas!

November 08, 2020 Stay Strong: A Roadmap to Activism Reboot
A quick note: This is a cool and important episode that originally aired in early August 2020. We thought this would be a great time to re-air the episode. Stay strong, be safe.
This week we’ve handed the hosting reins over to Tai Simpson who brought on three other remarkable activists from the Treefort/Storfort/Boise community and beyond. They talk Black Lives Matter, Indigenous and LGBTQIA+ issues, their own activist origin stories, and what matters most in our world right now and moving forward in these complex times.
Smart, fun, poignant, essential. Enjoy.

Bios of our guests –
Tai Simpson is “The Storyteller” in the indigenous language of the Nimiipuu nation (Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho). Her insight into politics and social justice work are heard regularly within public and private organizations. She is a direct descendant of Chief Redheart of the Nez Perce tribe and a tireless advocate for social justice. Tai’s academic background is in Sociology and Political Philosophy & Public Law at Boise State University. In the community, she serves as an organizer for the Indigenous Idaho Alliance and works as Social Change Advocate with the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence. Tai believes indigenous “old ways” need to come back in style. The old ways are principles on which many indigenous communities build their social and political narratives. As an antiracism activist and community leader, she uses contemporary and traditional Indigenous storytelling to depict the lens of “old ways” and how it is used to protect the sacred, build strength in the community, and keep nature in balance.
Gabrielle Davis (she/her) is a respiratory therapist and counselor in Idaho. Outside of the health/ mental health care field, Gabby is an adjunct professor at a local university and is the facilitator for Youth Alliance for Diversity, a LGBTQIA+ youth group in Boise where she gets to be constantly reminded why kids are better than adults. In her free time, Gabby enjoys reminding people that Black, Queer and Trans Lives are included when saying ‘Black Lives Matter’, dispelling myths about the definition of allyship, encouraging folks to say I don’t know instead of pretending to know and bringing awareness to the fact that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances. Gabrielle lives in Boise with her wife and enjoys being a professional troublemaker whenever her time allows.
Nisha Jae Newton is a community organizer and graduate student in Social Justice &
Human Rights. Amongst their lived experience as a Black femme and a queer/trans
person in rural communities, they leverage their identities as a historian and
sociologist to co-create an emergent world. Nisha has centered their activism
and liberation work around youth—particularly within pedagogy and education.
Nisha has started policy reform at Boise State University to integrate integrity and
inclusion into the campus structure. Nisha has also worked to expand youth
programming with the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence and
to fight for their trans siblings with American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of
Idaho in the 2020 legislative session.
Nisha’s pronouns are they/them/their.
Oluwabukola (Bukky) Ogunrinola derives all her strength from her family and community. Coming to the United States as a first-generation Nigerian immigrant, Bukky has seen first-hand the effects of policy that is made intentionally to disrupt the livelihoods of families who have no safety net. Her identities and experiences inspired her journey into scholarship, as well as rooting the activism she takes part in through research, education, and community. Since 2014, Bukky has been a Youth Organizer at the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. This past year, she worked for Advocates for Youth, based in Washington, D.C. as a member of their International Youth Council which focuses on access to comprehensive and inclusive sexual education both domestically and internationally. She is entering her third year at Howard University, studying Economics and Mathematics with the hope of entering law school.

October 27, 2020 True Crime and Bloody Fiction Live From the Idaho Botanical Garden
In the spirit of Halloween (and 2020) this week we partnered with the Old Idaho Pen and the Idaho Botanical Garden to bring you a live recording of some genuinely creepy, haunting, scary stories performed last weekend at the IBG. From just outside the walls of the Old Idaho Penitentiary historians Anthony Parry and Amber Beirle, and fiction writer Julia McCoy bring us true crime, prison narratives, lost souls and a kettle of vultures. Suffice it to say, very few make it out alive. Enjoy!
