  • SPIT IT OUT MAN

    The podcast is decent. Guests are cool. I just wish the host wouldn’t try to fit 20 words in a 5 word question. He starts to ask the question and then drags it out with “ums” “likes” “such as” etc.. maybe write down the question and just read it word for word. Or if you can’t form the question in your head just let the guest speak. Again, good content, just some quirks to work on. I’ll be listening.

  • One of the best if you love this scene

    Mason & Cullen are great together, they get the best guests and ask really good questions.

    Growing up in this Tooth and Nail/ Solid State/ Christian music scene is great to listen to the artists that I listen to and hearing about new bands to discover. Keep up the great work! Oh and keep working on getting Josh Scogin to come on 🤘

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mae on the Legacy of The Everglow
Q: What is a band on paper you should like but you can't get into?
Zach mentions Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. as bands he should like but hasn't connected with yet, while Dave cites older pre-scene acts like The Smiths and Fugazi as bands he never quite connected to, despite their influence on others in the scene.
Josh Porter from Showbread on the Legacy of Age of Reptiles
Q: What do you want to plug or share about your current projects?
Porter highlights his work as a pastor at Van City Church in Vancouver, Washington, ongoing writing projects including fiction and non-fiction, and a solo album direction inspired by early Elvis Costello, while noting Showbread remains active in a text-thread-like format.
Robert Ingraham: Making a Comedy Movie about Growing up Evangelical
Q: What motivated you to tell a story about Sophie and her fiancé, set against a backdrop of evangelical pressures?
I wanted to explore relational tension—how you love family yet live with beliefs that clash with your own evolving identity, and how that tension can drive someone to seek a more honest, humane way forward.
Darren King: Mutemath (Repost from 1/25/2022)
Q: What's next for you professionally?
I'm releasing DK The Drummer material, launching Thick Audio sample packs, and developing new collaborative projects like Freak, a contact synth/plugin, as part of continuing to explore rhythm and sound design.
Darren King: Mutemath (Repost from 1/25/2022)
Q: Why did you leave Mutemath to focus on family?
I needed to rebuild my life and prioritize my daughters; leaving was painful but necessary to establish a healthier home environment and reorient my career toward sustainable, family-centered creativity.
