    Nov 18 2024

    I chat to Amie McNee, also known online as @inspiredtowrite, about the ongoingness of insecurity, the difference between music-making and novel-writing, the myth of "The One", AI, and the cost of making art among many, many other things!

    Amie's book We Need Your Art comes out in March and is available for pre-order now. Highly recommend it for artists and creators who need a little encouragement every now and then (or all the time). Pre-order here: www.amiemcnee.com/pre-order-we-need-your-art-book-amie-mcnee

    She also has a Substack which you can find here: https://amiemcnee.substack.com/

  • Donatachi
    Nov 4 2024

    A wonderful new episode where I speak to Donatachi about literally 100 different things as usual. We cover so much ground you'd think we were literally lawn. Topics include but are not limited to: Putting auto-tune on David Byrne, Brat, Neon Genesis Evangelion, fitting in vs being an individual, Another Chance by Roger Sanchez, sound production tools and preferences, and Anglerfish (mild Outer Wilds spoilers at the end of the ep).

    Some harsh audio in this ep again sorry!!!!

    Donatachi’s new EP ‘Ascension’ is out now and is soooo epic and ethereal. Highly recommend if you’re into trance and if you’re into driving with the music loud.

  • Ninajirachi
    Oct 13 2024

    I chatted with Ninajirachi! We get into world-building, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, the input-output cycle, what it's like to work as a creative, our relationship to social media, and loving the internet. And heaps more honestly, we yapped hard.

    Also so sorry about my audio - it blows out a bit especially when I laugh. This was the first one I recorded so please give me some amnesty.

    Listen to Nina's 2024 Girl EDM today and please feel free to keep listening to her catalogue! Everything she produces goes so hard.

  • Solo Fishposting #1: Thank you, Fish Thoughts, Maintaining Visual Identity, and Severance
    Oct 7 2024

    My first solo chat (to you, to myself)! I express my gratitude, ponder over fish, chat about how high visual production value as an independent artist is determined by your friendships and connections with skilled workers, and I recommend the show Severance.

    Mentioned: Ben Lee, Magdalena Bay, Vita, Severance, Kingdom Hearts II, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Disco Elysium

  • Ben Lee
    Sep 30 2024

    I chat with Ben Lee this week and we cover an insane amount of ground: the rare gift of the gab in a music artist, the value of maintaining an enduring philosophy in the music industry, insecurities about mid-posting, and so much more.
