If you’d like to like to listen to our first conversation from Dec of 2017, click here!Zanetti writes protest songs that are meant to make people think and find some form of comfort during these troublesome times. The Pittsburgh, PA-based musician has been creating tunes and touring the world for over a decade and his new album is his first since creating a full-band for touring. “This Land is Your Landfill” further exemplifies Zanetti’s witty yet unabashedly earnest songwriting, which is a constant source of community building within his circles. This conversation focuses a lot on the album, as well as meanders into very political spaces, which makes sense given the moment we’re currently living in. Hope you dig it!

| 3/24/20 | ![]() 80: Sara Lieto - Being a Poet & a Woman in STEM | Sara Lieto is a poet, an app developer, and all-around wonderful human. Selfishly, I wanted to interview Sara because I wanted to learn more about what she does - since we always interact at the gig in Boston but never seem to make the time to sit down and have a proper chat. So I reached out and here we are! Sara has a knack for the written word and does some great work spreading radical feminism wherever she goes. This brand of feminism creates a great foundation for her as she navigates a heavily male-dominated field. We dig into gender roles and expectations, as well as what writers got us into performing and writing poetry, and of course we talk about the gig!

While Mars is an established radio and podcast host, he is a student of the world - as both of his podcasts deal with him constantly learning and figuring out ways in which we all fall into the larger societal landscape. Mars also grew up as a punk - as we explore throughout the episode. This punk upbringing influenced not only the decisions he made for his own education, but also how he developed his personal ethics. This conversation also goes to show that punk isn’t JUST music, but goddamn, the music helps!This conversation was sort of a dream come true - I’ve been listening to Roman and following his work for years, so to have a chat with him for an hour felt very surreal. It was also incredibly rewarding because I learned so much and am grateful for his willingness to hop onto my little DIY pod.Also, at the very end of the episode, Roman lists a few albums y’all should check out in order to understand his early music influences and the albums that have stuck with him - I’ve comprised those and a couple others mentioned in the episode to this handy Spotify playlist if you’d like to dig into them!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the new oldsoul album, “You Were Overwhelmed,” which came out earlier this month through Counter Intuitive Records and Chattbot Records.- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Time Moves,” “Left Wondering,” and “Like No Surprise.” You can check out the entire “You Were Overwhelmed,” album through all of the streaming platforms!

| 2/5/20 | ![]() 78: David Cave & the Search for Meaning through Recovery | David Cave is a former skrams vocalist from Denver, Colorado - which is where most of the stories in this conversation take place. Because before moving to Boston and quickly becoming one of my best friends, David lead an entirely different life. From beginning to drink and smoke at a young age, to getting in recovery through meetings and having a sponsor, to eventually finding some peace with the universe, David has lived a lot of life in just 33 years. Now, 13 years sober, David finds himself reading a lot of existentialist works, in Dharmic meditation, and seeking a lot of meaning as he moves into perhaps the biggest next step in his life - fatherhood. We had a lot of fun recording this conversation late one Saturday night after eating a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was totally time well spent.

We chilled out in the band’s tour van right before its sold out gig at the Great Scott in Boston - where Josh also played double duty playing bass for the opening act, Harmony Woods. Josh and I had a quick chat about his history in music, with TWIABP, and his perspectives on toxic and performative masculinity in the music scene. Essentially, our conversation can be boiled down to DON’T BE A DICK - which is fitting because one of the pieces of educational materials that our nonprofit provides goes by the same title. Alas, so thankful for Josh taking a moment out of his busy evening to chat with me.MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the new “Assorted Works” release from The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die.

Throughout his career, Jack has maintained his DIY ethics in touring, putting on gigs, and releasing his tunes - while continuing to amass and maintain a followership along the way.Since Jack and I met a couple years ago, we’ve sort of felt like kindred spirits - hitting it off right away and with a tenacity as if we’d known each other for years.

Sarah also works in marketing for America’s Test Kitchen - which is something I learned early in the conversation and it wound up steering the beginning of the episode. Sarah and i discuss what it’s like picking up an instrument (guitar) a little later than folks typically pick it up and start noodling around. Having also delayed my guitar learning til my 20s, I could relate to Sarah a good deal - especially around starting a band a tad later as well.Hope you enjoy this first episode back in over 6 weeks, but we will be back consistently every other week from here on out! Enjoy!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Fucko album, “Social Climber,” which was released this month on Midnight Werewolf records. - Fucko presents a fuzzy/noisy indie pop sound that bridges the gaps between garage rock and pop - it’s a wonderful spin of the genre.- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Used to Be” and “In That Doorway.” You can check out the album through Fucko’s Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms!THE CONNECTEDU NETWORK- This week, you got to learn about the ConnectEDU Network, of which this podcast is now a contributing member!- ConnectEDU Network connects the unique perspectives and expert insight of higher education through podcasting.

Chris recently released his first solo project with an EP called, “It Could Happen,” which he self-released on May 3.

| 5/7/19 | ![]() 67: Kevin Klein (Valleyheart) & Exploring Spirituality through Music | Kevin Klein is the lead singer and guitarist for the band, Valleyheart. Kevin is a multi-talented musician who has been on a wild musical journey to get to where he is today. Starting out playing in a Christian metalcore band, Exiting the Fall, Kevin eventually veered into more chill outlets as his interests in music evolved. Eventually those efforts would become the Salem, MA-based band, Valleyheart.During this conversation, Kevin and I dig into his spiritual roots and how they have influenced, defined, and evolved during his life and musical ventures. The conversation also features a bit about the realities of booking DIY tours - playing not only in basements, but in restaurants and boxing rings as well. There’s also a great meditation or two on the influence Sufjan Stevens has had on both my life and Kevin’s life.This is a fun and thoughtful conversation that I know you will love.

The band will embark on a summer run of dates with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - you can check out their tour dates here!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the debut Valleyheart album, “Everyone I’ve Ever Loved,” which was released on December 14 through Rise Records. - Valleyheart is a brilliant rock band the presents each song with expertly layered lush atmospheres and soundscapes while retaining a perfect amount of raw emotion.

| 4/11/19 | ![]() 66: Shawn Carter & DIY Comedy Debate | Shawn Carter is a professional comedian, comedy producer, podcast producer, and all around great guy. Shawn runs comedy shows all over Boston - and has been doing so for well over a decade. He has helped create a fantastic community of comedians in the Boston area that are supportive, creative, and genuinely trying to make each other better. The DIY ethics Shawn exudes are a testament to how hard he works, how much he puts his friends over, and the opportunities he creates for others to thrive.And if Shawn and I have something in common it’s that we both love projects! We’re both kinda always doing something. Shawn ALSO runs a podcast, Pick A Side Stupid, which is also a weekly live comedy debate show that takes place in Quincy, Mass - right across town from where we live - where two comedians are posed a question and then they improv a response. It’s truly one of the most unique spectacles I’ve seen in a comedy sphere.Make sure you follow Pick A Side Stupid over at Podbean, iTunes, Stitcher, and really anywhere you get podcasts! You will not regret it! Make sure to join the Facebook group if you’d like to keep up! I will also be a guest on the upcoming Sex episode - so you won’t want to miss that!And if you’d like to support Shawn’s new comedy album, “100 Problems,” seek it out on iTunes, Spotify, and ANYWHERE you can listen to music or comedy - it’s OUT THERE!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the ridiculous new Florida Man LP, “Tropical Depression,” which will be released on May 3 through our friends over at Spartan Records!- Florida Man's sound may be as unnerving as a Google search of their band name, but on their sophomore full-length Tropical Depression, the Charleston, SC noise-punks harness roaring blasts of distortion and a fascination with the bleaker side of life to create one of the year’s most uncompromising and cathartic releases. Tropical Depression effectively filters the spirits of the most legendary noise rock and post-hardcore scenes -- San Diego’s angular attack (Hot Snakes, No Knife), Seattle’s sheer power (Botch, These Arms Are Snakes), Chicago’s sonic depravity (The Jesus Lizard, Shellac), and DC’s unbridled creativity (Fugazi, Faraquet) -- through the band's unique brand of sweat-soaked southern grime and a dose of hardcore aggression. (Courtesy of Spartan Records)- On this episode, you got to hear the track, “Brain Cell,” which is a major kick in the face - and it’s the opening track to the album, so you know you’re in for a treat!THE CONNECTEDU NETWORK- This week, you got to learn about the ConnectEDU Network, of which this podcast is now a contributing member!- ConnectEDU Network connects the unique perspectives and expert insight of higher education through podcasting.
