Bonus: Guest Spot on "What Am I Making Podcast #006"

We had the pleasure of joining our friend, and frequent guest, Matt Carlson on the podcast portion of his new project, ⁠What Am I Making⁠, back on March 27, 2023. Matt is a talented musician and songwriter from East Lansing, Michigan, whom Barry met as part of an online community created by Pete Dominick, the host of the ⁠Stand Up With Pete Dominick⁠ podcast. During one of their weekly hangouts, Matt shared the name of his latest band, ⁠Harborcoat⁠. Barry caught the R.E.M. connection, which led to a ⁠Pops on Hops episode⁠ to discuss the album ⁠Joy is Elusive⁠. The outtakes alone from that conversation also led to a ⁠Pops on Hops bonus episode⁠ to discuss Matt's Top Five R.E.M. albums. Matt has also contributed songs to our Christmas bonus episodes in both ⁠2021⁠ and ⁠2022⁠. So, obviously, when Matt asked Abigail and Barry to chat about the Pops on Hops podcast, they jumped at the chance! It is a fabulous discussion of the origin story of the Pops on Hops podcast!
