The Sound and the Story

We dive deep into the life-affirming, meaning-making power of Taylor Swift's folklore.

I had an in-depth quaratine call with Max Stern of Signals Midwest about their latest album Pin. Go buy it directly from the artist here.

Songs featured in this episode (in chronological order):

Can't Help But Wonder

Wil Wagner - More Like Signals MidBEST

I talk to Amy and Daniel of Future Teens about their Dan Campbell-aproved record, Breakup Season.

You can find Future Teens on Twitter @FutureTeensUSA and at futureteensusa.com.

Kevin Devine, a unique, thoughtful, loquacious, multi-talented musician talks about the ten-year anniversary of Brother's Blood as well as a whole lot of other things. Go buy his stuff at kevindevine.net.

We pay our dues to the surprise record from wunderkind Phoebe Bridgers (boygenius) and former wunderkind Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes).
