Today, I am taking some time off while I recover from a recent illness and continue to sift through edits for the Season 4 Finale of the podcast. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus episode from my Patreon film review series where I review 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' with special guest Mia Day.

✨ MORE ABOUT MIA DAY ✨

Inspired by the vivid imagery crafted by  Benjamin Gibbard and Leonard Cohen, as well as the writers heartbeat of Taylor Swift, Mia Day has claimed a songwriting style that embraces the weight that small moments carry. A record store junkie, over-thinker, [and] Seattle native that grew up under the endless grey sky, Mia's music turns inward with the harsh vulnerability that comes with spending a lot of one's teenage years alone. Her voice is a strong spirit that marries unconventionality with beauty, softness with a demand to be listened to. At the age of 20 years old, she has released a full length album, "Gold," as well as two E.P's known as "Years" and "Lone Rider." Her music has been played on 90.3 KEXP radio, Rainy Dawg Radio, Chapman Radio, 107.3 KBFG, and at 18 was named one of Sub Pop Records "Best of the Pacific Northwest" on Spotify.

Behind many great bands are mastermind managers and PR teams working the magic behind the scenes. The Beatles had Brian Epstein. The Strokes had the Wiz Kid extraordinaire Ryan Gentles. But managers and publicists are not only useful for legacy artists; they can also be extraordinarily helpful for smaller musicians who aim to grow their audience and output. My guest today is Kenzie Davis, who is a publicist at Big Hassle Media. Kenzie and I discuss the pros and cons of managing big and small bands, the skills Kenzie’s picked up as she’s moved up the ladder, and our shared obsession with Ethel Cain.

✨ MORE ABOUT SCOUT GILLETT ✨

Raised on the rural fringes of Kansas City and later migrating to Brooklyn's DIY scene, indie songstress Scout Gillett has always had an affinity for the unfamiliar. Inspired by a harrowing ordeal of grief, isolation, and losing the ability to pinpoint exactly where "home" is when one is constantly in motion, Gillett's debut album 'no roof no floor,' is a sprawling amalgamation of open-hearted compositions that combine the rough edges of guitar-driven indie rock and folk with the delicate dulcet tones of French space-pop and jazz.
