Episode 26: BJ Leiderman
"Our theme music was composed by BJ Leiderman." If you've tuned in to NPR over the last 44 years, the likelihood is pretty great that you have heard this on-air credit. It's because when BJ sold his themes to NPR, he made it a part of his contract that he would receive spoken recognition for his...

Special Episode: Poetry Share!
Some of you may remember a few years back when I uploaded a reading of "The Velveteen Rabbit." That was a recording I had made for librivox.org, an online archive of literary works in the public domain, recorded by volunteers all over the world. Recently I recorded a few poems for an anthology…

Episode 25: David Wilcox
I've known about David Wilcox since I first heard "East Asheville Hardware" back in the mid 90's working at a summer camp. I was absolutely captivated and delighted at what I was listening to, and knew that this was something that I needed to pay more attention to, being a budding songwriter...

Episode 24: Paisha Thomas
Y'all. This woman right here has a story to tell, and it is massive. I met with her a week ago today (as of the uploading of this episode), and we chatted about her brand new memoir "Looking for Innocence", as well as a whole lot of other things, and there were still topics we left out. So I...

Episode 23: Eric Ahlteen
Eric and I first crossed paths when I made my way to Espresso Yourself Music Cafe, in Powell, Ohio, for an open mic night shortly after moving to Ohio. I consider myself really fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience the community and great vibes from EYMC before it closed in 2012.…

Episode 22: Dre Peace
My first impression of Dre Peace was a wall of sound that almost knocked me over.. Which would have been embarrassing since I was sharing a stage with him at an event called Music in the Round. I had to know more about this guy just from the music and poetry coming from his mouth. Afterwards I...

Remembering John: 12/31/1943 – 10/12/1997
I was home from college on a fall break in 1997 when I found out John Denver had died in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean. It wrecked me. This brief tribute will explain a little bit of why. Also, here is the video from the recording I shared in the episode, along with another one I filmed in…

Episode 20: James Houston
I first met James Houston when I decided to start learning karate in my mid-20s, living in a small, southwestern Virginia town along the New River. I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for karate, only that it seemed like there was a good blend of experience, and I knew that I wouldn't…

Elemental Series, Episode 04: Gratitude
Loss is a weird thing, isn't it? The day I recorded this, I had found out a friend had died. Just out of the blue. Hit by a truck while running. It was a big blow. I had already decided on a topic, and on its face, it seems like the wrong direction... But really, my friend Jeff was one who lived…

Elemental Series, Episode 03: Heated
Speak when you are angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. - Ambrose Bierce As I write this, I have 34% left on my laptop, and I'm getting on a plane in 2 hours. I'm heading out to my next job, in Burbank California, and this has been a real challenge keeping my eyes open long...

Elemental Series, Episode 01: The Laughing Curandera
Hey everybody! I have something pretty cool to share with you. I've decided to give myself a little break from producing the full episodes of Flies in the Kitchen, because I've been out of town a lot working a contract job that has long hours. My time has really just gotten chewed up (That wasn't...
-
Episode 19: Barbie Angell
Lately I've been looking at a lot of my Facebook memories, and being amazed at how oblivious we all were to what life would look like just one year later. Large groups closely gathered around tables, no masks, sharing pizza, and laughing. So much laughing. It will be interesting to see the…

Episode 18: David LaMotte
I first met David LaMotte at a weekend retreat in the WV mountains where he was performing. He and his newly-wed wife Deanna were there, and it was fun hanging out with them both. As it goes, though, with many traveling gigging musicians who bounce around the world bringing music and great joy to...

When Chuck Brodsky was 21, he made a decision that he was going to follow his passion to become a songwriter who tells stories that matter. He hitchhiked from his hometown in Philadelphia to San Francisco and never looked back. I've been wanting to chat with Chuck for a long time. His songs have...

Episode 15: Zach Whitney
This is a first. My buddy Zach Whitney loves the woods. He loves to go hiking in the woods whenever he can. So I thought it'd be fun to take a walk with Zach and record a conversation about music, mindfulness, and nature. Three things I knew he knows a thing or two about. It was a really great…

Episode 14: Jeromy Laux
I met Jeromy when he was hired as the Production and Technical Coordinator at the church I was going to, and started noticing his really great eye for capturing moments on film, both in photos and video. He had such a great ability to connect with every single person he pointed a camera towards,...

Episode 13: Robbie Schaefer
Photo by Laura Goyer This one's exciting for me. When I was in college 20 some years ago, I was brought by a friend to a small, standing room only bar with a bunch of 20-somethings crowded in very tight numbers, waiting for this band to come out. I was promised I would love this band. So, when…

Episode 12: Wyze
I have seriously been trying to get Wyze on this podcast for months. I met her in November at an event in Columbus where she was sharing about her photography and her Vlog, and knew I wanted to hear more. We played email tag for way too long until we finally settled on a time that worked for us...

Special Holiday Episode! The Velveteen Rabbit
A special "Holiday Episode" for you!

Episode 10 (Part 2): Ron Freeman
This is Part Two of my conversation with Ron Freeman (Just in case the title didn't give it away). If you've not listened to Part 1, How about checking that one out first? In this half, we chat a lot about community, and what that looks like in the world of The Freeman House Concerts as well as…

Episode 10 (Part 1): Ron Freeman
I honestly don't know how I ended up with 2 hours of tape with Ron Freeman. Actually, that's not entirely true. I had a feeling that when I invited Ron to sit down with me and chat, it would be a long and fruitful conversation. I tell you what, I enjoyed every single minute of it. Ron is a both...

For this episode, I'm excited to bring you a conversation with Joey Hendrickson, songwriter, thinker, visionary, entrepreneur, and all around non-profit guru. He's the co-founder of the Columbus Songwriters Association, as well as the Columbus Music Commission and How to Build a Music City, and...

Episode 08: Jamieson Ridenhour
I met Jamie Ridenhour through a mutual friend in North Carolina who was promoting Jamie's son's Kickstarter for his CD (both of whom I hope to have on the podcast soon as well!), and just knew I wanted to chat with him about all of his stuff. And a lot of stuff he has. He's a poet, author,...
-
Episode 07: Ruvane
Wow, this guy. Ruvane has been making music his job for a long time. I got a chance to sit with him in his "Atmosphere Room" (I erroneously called it his Control Room) in his basement studio for a nice long chat. We talked about his history, his unique style, how he took a genre and made it his...
-
Episode 06: Chris Shaw
In this episode, Chris Shaw comes by and we sit and talk about the many hats he wears around Columbus, and the way he wants to evolve as a musician. He really has a lot going on, and I try to cram it all in here... From Topher James and Biscuit Brigade to Andy Shaw Band to Shaw Brothers, to the...
-
Episode 05: Daniel Ferlan
Ok, here's a new thing. This is an audio podcast, obviously, but I need to add a few things for your eyes so you can make sense of this episode. Today I'll be talking with Daniel Ferlan, a local painter who has a limited exhibit at Sharon Weiss Gallery in the Short North. That's at 20 East…

Episode 02: Anthony Mossburg
Anthony and I sat down in the green room of the Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta, OH and had a great conversation. We were performing there for an event that night, and since we were going to be in the same place at the same time, we decided to show up a couple of hours early so we could record...

Kelly Zullo and I don't go way back, but we go far enough for Columbus. We talk about her stint in Nashville, to Chicago where a loft bed company came into being, How she got to Ohio, and what she's looking ahead to for 2017. We recorded the episode in her brand new RV, about which she is going...
