  • Refreshing

    I’m a big fan of what Cameron is bringing to the table here… really bringing light to the world of old time music. I dipped my toes into an episode with Dirk Powell and was very much impressed with his thoughts on murder ballads. And of course, the music is wonderful to listen to. This podcast will be in my steady rotation.

  • Exactly what I needed

    Episode 470 is my first show to listen to, not sure why it came up in my search. Divine intervention most likely because I have been thinking about learning to play an instrument and this guy (Joe Moore) learned a new instrument at age 39! I am inspired now! And what awesome music. ❤️ This is also so very different from the mainstream garbage that tends to suck me in and has little value. This is wonderful, I love it thank you!

  • Wonderful Podcast

    I’ve been listening since this podcast was brand new. It is a really wonderful jam/interview format that makes you feel like you are sitting around the campfire jamming with some of your favorite artists. There are a lot of thoughtful discussions about the history of the music and it’s place in our modern world and in trad culture.

Q: How do you view Christianity in Kerala in relation to social justice and anti-imperialism?
Christianity in Kerala has historically been liberatory and localized, not tied to empire, and that perspective informs my music as a way to explore liberation without endorsing domination.
Episode 511: Miriam Hacksaw (Malayali Tunes, Political Music, and Liberatory Spirituality)
Q: What is the significance of Tunei Ni Kei Shuvam and how does it connect to your Malayalam heritage?
It's a hymn learned from my aunt that I reinterpreted as a fiddle tune to connect family heritage with modern Old Time sensibilities, while the Malayalam script keeps the obscurity and esoteric vibe.
