Who Writes This Stuff

Don and Lori Chaffer, aka WATERDEEP are here!  We chat about suspecting your parents of being in the CIA, where they got the compulsion to write and perform, setting the record straight on whether or not they got their name from Dungeons and Dragons, rejected band names, the artistic person’s ideas versus realistic expectations of the ideas getting done, the dirty underbelly of Wikipedia, giving thought to fashion sense, putting together a double album, and more!

Nashville based pop/rock artist ZACH VINSON is on the show! We chat growing up (and killing time) in a small town, the ways (legal and otherwise) you're forced to promote yourself as an up-and-coming indie artist, the death of the "hidden track" on albums, his fantastic new EP, and more!

New York based musician Anya Marina is on the show! We chat about the effects of fame, our mutual love for Jon Hamm, the perils of being on the Twilight soundtrack, and more!

Jon Troast is back for a 3-peat appearance on the podcast! We chat about practical jokes, ditching social media, returning back to social media after ditching it, his new alphabet themed EPs, and more!
