Hosted by Sam — two hours a week spent asking people what music has done to them.
with Garrett Howitson
Two hours on punk — both the sound and the posture, and whether it can survive being defined. Do artists give up punk once they sign a record deal? Garrett makes the case for anti-establishment as something more considered than contrarian, and along the way talked me out of an idea I'd been carrying about the word angsty. His dad stopped by the studio partway through, which turned the conversation somewhere neither of us planned.

What gets passed down in a car with the windows open. Two hours on family, memory, and the tracks you never chose but can’t unlearn.
with Marisol Vance
On why the take with the mistake in it is usually the one that lands, and what happens when a musician stops trying to sound clean.
