Buckle the heck in because we had an absolute blast with comedian-actor-turned-pop-punk rocker Lauren Ash, who you may know from the hilarious show Superstore, but who now is following lifelong dreams and refusing to play by the rules.

Put on soundproofing headphones and a blindfold, because this episode with Bobby Burg and Melina Ausikaitis of Aitis Band is a mix of haunted houses and “that’s what she said” jokes.

Special thanks to our brand whisperer & spiritual sage Enid Casabla... more

  • What a Ride!

    This podcast is incredible. The hosts voice is like a warm glass of non alcoholic whiskey on a snowy night in VT. Incredible interviewer. And I follow him (them?) on IG, total babe.

    I particularly love the G Love episode

  • What is the ethos of the band??

    I like how you see what is mentality of people behind the music out there you enjoy. It’s a different concept of thought versus the constant promotion of what the band behind whatever music has to push. It’s different than other music interview podcasts out there. It’s like the album “B” side.
