  • Thanks Bernie and Dallas

    I had been holding off on listening to this episode with Dallas Shoo until I had a good hour and wanted to be taken away to “edge land” as Dallas calls it. It fulfilled this and so much more. What’s wonderful low key laid back couple of guys. I love the back stories it was wonderful. Thanks so much.

267 - Alison Lyn Miller
Q: And did you ever get the, you know, that's fake, right?
Yes, that misconception comes up often, but the book and interviews reveal the complexity, the craft, and the genuine emotions of everyone involved, showing why it resonates as culture and community, not just spectacle.
267 - Alison Lyn Miller
Q: Yeah. When you approached, when folks asked you, you know, what are you working on? And you told them, you know, working about a book about pro wrestling and indie wrestling, did what is the biggest misunderstanding about it?
The biggest misunderstanding is that wrestling is fake; people don't realize the depth, history, and skill involved, from storytelling to training, and that it's a form of performance art with real lives behind it.
264 - Johnny Martin
Q: What keeps you going through the long tours and the changing music scene?
He credits his wife and family support as the constant source of motivation, along with a deep respect for the craft and the experience of making music with different artists.

Q: What inspired your new project Sniffy Ash and how does it connect to your music?
Sniffy Ash merges fragrance and music, turning scents into songs and creating a visual-audio identity that complements her musical work and personal brand.
262 - Ashley Reeve
Q: How did you navigate playing with a band known for a very particular sound?
She embraced her own technique, using nails to mimic a pick sound in the Filter material, balancing authenticity with the band's expectations, and received support from the lead artist to stay true to herself.
