Both Sabrina Rush & Bruce Lamont are wonderful fixtures of the Chicago music scene and beyond, each donning several different hats over expansive careers.

Sphie Holman and I take a walk down Alki Beach and talk about her worst show, which took place in a church. This sparks a discussion weaving in between bad shows, religion, and coming of age.

Violinist Abi Wilenski recounts the tale of a tour in which she wasn't listened to, while adjusting for the fact that her perspective has changed a great deal since then.

A great example of what happens when you record a podcast in public spaces, this episode contains perhaps my favorite moment of well-timed irony. Rachel Overby is in the middle of sharing a story about rude dudes yelling dumb shit at the her all female band (Bitch Boys) while they're on stage, and from out of nowhere a man interrupts us, realizes we're recording a podcast, and takes it upon himself to perform for our audience. Is it kismet? Or just entitlement? You decide.
