Episode 25: Sarah Pasillas (Antonioni) & Nicolle Swims (Black Ends) Jun 30, 2021

Sarah from Antonioni and Nicolle of Black Ends join me to talk their upcoming show with Spirit Award at Neumos! This episode was recorded in the wake of a record heatwave in Seattle. By shear grace, we managed to record this in a hotel room with air conditioning!

Bonus Episode: Dating in Seattle with Jennifer Smith & Jackie Farrar Jun 28, 2021

We're letting our collective hair down to discuss the joys and pitfalls of dating in Seattle. Joining me are guest co-hosts Jennifer Smith of Malcontent News along with Jackie Farrar. Let the fun commence!

Please note: while our discussion is generally humorous and light-hearted, we do share some very personal stories and traumatic experiences. It's my hope that this episode encourages more awareness and discussion within the Seattle music community around dating, healthy social interaction and creating welcoming environments for all.
