The prolonged isolation of COVID has taught me that I really have some incredible friends: novelists, memoirists, poets, musicians, songwriters, comedians, painters and so on. Also, I am terrible at keeping in touch with them. These conversations will be part catch-up with my friends (some of whom I haven’t spoken to in years) about our addictions and/or sobriety, our mental health struggles, and the challenges of the creative life. And these will be in-depth explorations of their work, how they work, what inspires them, and what’s coming next. Yes, I’m a writer and musician, but I’m a fan first. These are artists and people I love, and it’s my honor to share them with you.

rash decisions w Rad Pinckard
Thursday Jul 28, 2022
Thursday Jul 28, 2022
Rad Pinckard is a skateboarder, former drunk, and a songwriter. I met him a couple of years ago when I needed cheap labor and we kept in touch. No, you probably haven't heard of him but I wanted to have him on the podcast because he's been writing some really incredible songs. They're sad and funny and playful and self-deprecating and terribly catchy. The recordings... well, yeah, we are both just starting to learn how to record ourselves. But I really think his cobwebbed-but-hopeful heart shines through on these tracks. The response I've gotten from people who have heard the stuff really makes me think that he can do something with these tunes. Let's try to help him on his way. He's https://www.instagram.com/rudeboyrad/ and you can hear his music at https://soundcloud.com/poolsidesacrifice. You should also follow https://www.instagram.com/basedventura/ which is the profile he runs to facilitate dog adoptions in Phoenix for the Arizona Animal Welfare League.

MOMCAST with my crazy old mom
Thursday Jul 21, 2022
Thursday Jul 21, 2022
Hands down, this is the best podcast I've ever done, maybe the best one I will ever do. Elaine Lalonde was born in Makwa, Saskatchewan in 1947, the second of seventeen children. I've known her for 45 years because she is my mom. No other person has had a greater influence on who I am or what I've done with my life (well, the good stuff, anyway). We talk about dogs with people names, growing up poor, the power of positivity, and making peace with maybe losing a child to addiction. Follow her on Instagram at @elaine.lalonde.7

Swapcast with my friend Jonas Barnes about mental illness, sobriety, addiction, and getting your ass handed to you during the pandemic! Back to new, exclusive content next week!
Lauryn Petrie and Jonas Barnes Present: The Traumedy Hour 2 Comedians + A Guest + All The Things Society Tells Us Not To Talk About. Lauryn & Jonas talk to a guest every week about the trauma, pain, mental illness and vices that we all live with in our own way, every day.

hammock weight with Josh LaJaunie
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Josh LaJaunie was born and raised in south Louisiana. He grew up hunting, fishing, drinking, eating, playing football, and getting fat. In early 2011, he found himself tipping the scales at over 400 lbs. He's since lost 200 lbs, become a badass ultrarunner, and is now exclusively a plant-based, plant-powered athlete.
I met Josh through our friend Rich Roll and we hit it off immediately. I don't see or talk to Josh too often but when we connect, it's always epic. We had some audio difficulties with this episode but I encourage you to power through-- Josh is one of my favorite guests to date.

writing the next chapter with Max Collins, the guy from Eve6
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
You probably know Max Collins as 'the guy from Eve6,' one of the sharpest, funniest, most thoughtful people on Twitter today. You probably know Eve6 as the band behind 'Inside Out,' which you probably know as "the heart in a blender song." You probably don't know that they wrote that album when they were 16/17 years old and that Max has had a wild ride since that song hit #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart in 1998. We talk sobriety, mental illness, writing, and second acts.
Max Collins is an American musician, singer, and songwriter who is best known as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and bassist of the alternative rock band Eve 6, which he co-founded with Jon Siebels. He launched a solo career in 2013 called Marms + The Car Deaths. He has other musical projects, including a band called Fitness, and more recently has created a singing Germanic alter-ego called Chevy Mustang.

speed grieving with Joe Cardamone (Icarus Line, Dark Mark vs Skeleton Joe)
Thursday Jun 09, 2022
Thursday Jun 09, 2022
Joe Cardamone has been on my radar for fifteen years but I actually met him for the first time at Lanegan's funeral. He made a keychain for Mark's friends like the old hotel keys, imprinted with "Mark Lanegan, the Night Porter, 1964-2022." This is our first real conversation and, man, it was really so fantastic to talk to him.
Los Angeles native artist Joe Cardamone has lived a few lifetimes while leaving a wiry dent in the global underground music and film scenes. The band that Joe fronted for 17 years, The Icarus Line, formed in East Los Angeles in 1998. Over the course of six albums the punk agitators became an underground phenomenon and the most dangerous, if not the greatest, punk group of their generation. The cult band that never gave up. Performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in front of 30,000+ fans, multiple appearances on the legendary John Peel show, criss-crossing the US in a van opening a stadium tour for A Perfect Circle and The Cult and a UK tour with Primal Scream are just some of the "greatest hits" of a legend loaded with nearly mythic live performances and chaos. But it was the death of guitarist and
original member Alvin DeGuzman in 2017 following a long battle with cancer, which was the actual end of The Icarus Line (a demise recently depicted in Michael Grodner's independent film "The Icarus Line Must Die" which is now streaming on Amazon and Hulu).
The following year Joe released his solo debut, the frenzied Holy War album and film on his own imprint American Primitive. Cardamone's new approach was a modern one man show that forged R&B and crushing electronics with the combative spirit of his formative punk years. While crafting a pair of follow up albums in 2020 the world stopped and the QUARENTINA project emerged in response. Outside of his work as an artist Joe has produced and collaborated with some of the greatest artists of our time including Mark Lanegan, lan Astbury, Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) and James Williamson (The Stooges).

all of the animals with Star Anna
Friday Jun 03, 2022
Friday Jun 03, 2022
"To describe Star Anna’s sound would depend on the day, the show, the album, or the band. Alt country, folk, blues, soul, and Americana are all fitting, but what remains the central focus of every performance is her voice. Whether she’s sitting on a stage with only her acoustic guitar or backed by some of Seattle’s finest musicians, it’s her voice that defines her music. It is belted with a raw, grittiness that bellows from a deep, dark reserve. It is softly laid down atop gentle strings, aching and tender. It is spit out with a fierce recklessness that echoes the glory days of punk. She’s been compared to Joan Jett, Arlo Guthrie, Fiona Apple and Joe Cocker but she is unmistakably her own entity. Spare, fragile and gutsy, Star Anna is the real thing."
