  • Love this Pod!

    Jason Earle is a spectacular interviewer when it comes to questioning his guests. He goes deeper beyond the music, and makes you feel like it’s just a couple old friends catching up. I love how he always asks his guests what books they’re reading or what other creative things they are consuming. It’s such an insightful way to learn more about the artist themselves, and add more things to your reading/listening/pod lists! So happy to know more concerts are popping up which means we will have less... more

  • Best podcast for finding new folk music (and occasionally comedians)

    Exactly my kind of podcast. Just one long, interesting conversation between two people. Dives deeper than the surface. Jason pulls lots of insightful content from each guest.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brian Dunne | The Marinade Episode 207
Q: What does community look like for you as a touring musician in New York and beyond?
Community is built by throwing parties, inviting people to collaborate, and creating spaces where artists can support each other and grow together rather than compete.
Brian Dunne | The Marinade Episode 207
Q: Can you talk about your approach to making the record more 'alternative' while still acknowledging your influences?
I wanted to honor influences like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen while framing them through a rarified, modern lens, which meant embracing the tensions between the familiar and the experimental in my own music.
Brian Dunne | The Marinade Episode 207
Q: So how did that feel in the moment, with all this positive feedback, when you stripped away so much of the music to be more you?
It was a relief to see the work resonate; the process of stripping back actually clarified my identity as an artist and gave me permission to be more authentic on future projects.
Kirby Baby | The Marinade Episode 201
Q: Are you fired up in any way about it?
Yes, Kirby expressed feeling reinvigorated by the creative process and the fun of making music with friends once again.
Kirby Baby | The Marinade Episode 201
Q: How you got out of that dark place?
Kirby emphasized the importance of community support and being truthful in his creative work, which helped him navigate through his struggles.
