Had to do a bit of an emergency renovation over the long weekend. Expect more changes in the coming weeks, but for now, I do hope you enjoy the look of the place. As for the episode at hand,I must say that I enjoyed leaning back a bit and letting my guest steer the ship. The conversation is a little looser, and a bit more sprawling than usual, but that’s quite emblematic of the sorts of conversations I have with today’s guest. They take turns, twist in loops, go on and on, and are ultimately time very well-spent. It seldom matters if the film is good or bad – with friends like Kurt, there are always things to be discussed about what we just saw. So as the summer holidays begin in-earnest, grab whatever combonation of coffee and cigarettes tickles you most, turn-up the Sturgill Simpson, and enjoy two-twenty-six.
