A Conversation

The episode you are about to listen to is a conversation that took place between Eric, Evan and Dan that was recorded after allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual assault perpetrated by musician Sean Tillmann — who performs as Har Mar Superstar — were made public. We learned of the allegations shortly after releasing an episode of the podcast where we reviewed Har Mar Superstar's latest album. This episode offers a behind the scenes look at the conversation that took place as we processed the news and debated how to best respond to it — or whether we should even respond to the news at all. We hope that releasing this episode encourages anyone listening to have similar conversations of their own and speak up if you are witness to any sort of inappropriate or abusive behavior. We stand with those who came forward about the sexual assault and misconduct perpetrated by Har Mar Superstar. This includes those who remain silent, but have had similar experiences regardless of gender or sexual orientation. There is no excuse for his behavior. We also have decided to take down the two episodes of Beats, Beards & Brews where we reviewed the musician's albums as a sign of respect to the survivors. Thanks for listening, and please, be kind to one another.
