Talking To Ghosts

This week on Talking to Ghosts we have Stephanie Marlow! Stephanie is an independent PR professional and one of our most frequent contacts! She works with labels like The Flenser and Dais Records to promote new releases and tours for recents guests like: Elizabeth Colour Wheel, Jacob Bannon, and Drowse. We talked about a day in the life of a PR person, working with artists during a global pandemic, and why Road Burn Festival is so special.

"At Home" is a version of the podcast that is being recorded and released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please forgive our audio quality and the awkward conversation, I think you understand why it had to be this way.

Talking to Ghosts is produced and recorded by Michael Kurt and Wes Mueller. Our fantastic 5-year cover art was made by Alicia Gaines (of the band Ganser, who have a new album available for pre-order!).

This week on the show we have author and screenwriter Jon Raymond. Originally scheduled to meet up with Jon as part of the Portland International Film Festival, we caught up instead from our homes to talk his new film First Cow (Directed by Kelly Reichardt, A24), radical adaptations of novels into scripts, and Portland Art History in the 1990s.

First Cow is on hold at the moment, but you can check out some of the other Kelly Reichardt collaboration films: Night Moves, Meek's Cutoff, and Wendy & Lucy.

This week on Talking to Ghosts we have the return of one of our favorite bands, Ganser. Back in 2016, Ganser came to Portland for the Out From The Shadows festival and we loved talking to them. Since then, we've travelled to Chicago for a number of reasons and have always tried to meet up with them. Like many bands, their tour schedule, jobs, and lives have been impacted by the novel Corona virus outbreak. We talked about their lives in isolation, making music videos, and how nice it will be to play shows again (once it's safe).
