Get Up in the Cool

Get Up in the Cool features conversations and musical collaborations with some of Old Time music’s heaviest hitters, like Ken Perlman, Adam Hurt, Spencer & Rains, and Jake Blount. As an interviewer, Cameron balances an effusive curiosity for the potential of traditional music with a dogged respect for its origins. Serving as audience surrogate, Cameron asks illuminating questions to Old Time’s best and brightest while telling the larger story of the tradition’s modern era.

Call in episode announcement and request for questions! Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

Hey everybody I want to do a CALL IN episode of sorts and I need y’all to submit questions and tune recommendations! The deadline is this Wednesday, June 14th at 11:59pm. Just email your questions to getupinthecool@gmail.com or use the contact form at getupinthecool.com. EXTRA CREDIT for those of you who make a voice memo on your phone and send that to me so I can play it on the air. The questions can be about anything, but you know the topic of the show.

My plan is to play call-in radio DJ for one episode and see how y’all like it. Ask a question, make a tune recommendation, and let me know how you want me to refer to you when I respond. If you like it, maybe I can do it again at some point. I’m not looking to change the format of the show in any serious way, I just wanna shake things up a bit for one week and keep things interesting, and give y’all a chance to engage with Get Up in the Cool in a new way.

That’s all! Send those questions over to getupinthecool@gmail.com or the contact form at getupinthecool.com and if you can, send me a voice memo with your question! And don’t forget to request a tune or song. This’ll be fun. Thanks!
