Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Hussler of Powerplay & Get in the Van Booking
Q: Why is touring often more important than traditional label deals for bands today?
Tim and Adam discuss touring as a core pathway for growth and income in the modern scene, noting that streaming and album sales have waned relative to live shows and that a booking agent can relieve the heavy lift of scheduling and logistics.
Adam Hussler of Powerplay & Get in the Van Booking
Q: How did Get in the Van Booking start and how many bands are represented now?
Adam explains that Get in the Van Booking started organically with friends and has grown to represent around 36-37 bands, focusing on helping bands get on the road and providing a reliable team to manage the workload.
Makeup FX Artist / Musician Caleb Schneider of Bad Acid Trip
Q: If you could create a suit for a remake of a horror icon, which character would you tackle and who would you want to play it?
I'd be interested in a Wolfman project directed by Ari Aster, focusing on in-camera effects and a strong auteurs' approach rather than just relying on a star actor; the director's vision would drive the creature design.
Evil Dead Rise (2023) Review ft Adam Gomez of The Dickies
Q: But what was your reasoning for choosing this one?
It's become a comfort movie to fall asleep to, and its mix of gore, humor, and family-centered chaos offers a reliable, rewatchable horror experience that still feels fresh and exciting.
Bratterstein from True Crime with Bratterstein
Q: Could you tell listeners where they can find your show?
Listeners can find True Crime with Bratterstein on all podcast platforms and on YouTube as Bratterstein; the show is available on Spotify and other major podcast apps.
