Episode 325-Rhythm In Odd Places with guest August Fanon

Sometimes the curatorial bent of this show comes from a deep curiosity about the people behind the music we love. The question “What’s their deal?” often sparks the journey toward a great interview. Patience is also part of the process because tracking down the artists we want to pepper with questions isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t always fit neatly into our recording schedule. This week’s interview with producer August Fanon has been a long time coming, and it was well worth the wait. He was gracious and open as he spoke with us about his journey as a producer, his creative process, and the sources of his inspiration. In the intro, we share some of our favorite August Fanon productions, and in the outro, we discuss the best Fanon-plus-rapper collaborations. We hope you enjoy this conversation with one of the most interesting figures in indie rap.
