Join us for interviews, analysis, hot takes, and unhinged rants on the most pressing issues in the world of parenting and country music.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Doohickeys on Comedy, Dad Jokes and Country Music
Q: When you come to write down these songs, after you get the hook, are you looking to lampoon something, or is it more about getting the song out and having fun?
The process blends both aims: often aiming to make each other laugh first, then shaping the premise with a sense of what sounds right, balancing humor with authenticity.
Jeremy Pinnell on Country Music, Jiu-Jitsu and Balance
Q: But could you tell us a little bit about your family growing up and how you got into the space and kind of how that shaped your songwriting?
Pinnell describes growing up in northern Kentucky, moving during childhood, and the strong church influence; he explains how watching his dad perform and his early exposure to music fueled a lifelong interest in storytelling through song.
Songbirds' Son: Shooter Jennings on Waylon The Artist, Waylon The Dad and The Legacy of Both
Q: Was there a different process that took place when you're working with the material now that Waylon is no longer with us?
He describes a collaborative, respectful approach with The Wailers and other living musicians, focusing on finding the vibe and narrative of the material rather than forcing a pre-existing template.
Songbirds' Son: Shooter Jennings on Waylon The Artist, Waylon The Dad and The Legacy of Both
Q: Let's talk about the Songbird production a little bit. How did Waylon as your dad and your relationship with him influence the project versus Waylon as the artist and your relationship to his music?
Shooter explains that he approached Waylon as the artist and as the living legacy, keeping personal moments and authenticity intact, while making production choices to modernize the sound without oversaturating it with classic effects.
