#66 - Andrew Sandstedt

Andrew Sandstedt is one hell of a talented dude and friend. Glad we could podcast again! 🎧🎙

Andrew is an incredible artist. He uses various mediums, and is becoming well known for his scrap metal sculpture work. Andrew and his teammates, Jeff Seelye and Manny Lopez, have won ScrapFest the past two years with their team Artistic Iron. Their work is breathtaking and you need to see it in person.✨ You can see their sculpture “Bloom” here: https://scrapfest.com/scrapfest-11-pieces

We talk about Andrew’s new artist handle and its meaning (Stal Artist), his road to growing his artist career, reflecting on this year’s ScrapFest, community over competition, and more! Enjoy!

#65 - Kevin McCartney

Kevin McCartney is a great singer-songwriter in the Lansing area. I’m so glad we could podcast! 🎧🎙

I first saw Kevin perform at The Poetry Room in REO Town, and fell in love with his songwriting style. You could try to categorize his music as outlaw country with hints of folk and bluegrass, but however you define it, it’s amazing!

We talk about songwriting, social media, Lansing, influences, many other things, and Kevin plays a few tunes! Enjoy!

#64 - Mocha Man

The man, the myth, the legend — give it up for Mocha Man! 🎷I’m so glad he could stop by to chat on the podcast! 🎧🎙

I feel fortunate to call Mocha a friend and bandmate — he’s part of the Creature of One crew, killing it on saxophone, harmonica, electronic drum pad, and vocals! 🎶❤️🌍

We talk about how music entered Mocha’s life, his time serving in the military, and how he fused both of those worlds. We also discuss goals for Co1, his new radio show on LCC Radio 89.7 FM WLNZ, and much more — enjoy!

#63 - Two-Faced Wilson & SarahJean Sews

It took me awhile to get this episode released, thanks for waiting, peeps! I’m so glad my good buddy Two-Faced Wilson (Adam Droscha) could stop by for a podcast with the lovely SarahJean Sews and myself!

For awhile now, Adam, Sarah, and I have wanted to do a podcast with the three of us. Both growing up in Charlotte, MI, Sarah and Adam relate on a lot of levels, one key area being their experiences with religion — how they were raised versus what faith means to them now.

For me, being born and raised Jewish, and not a religious person now, I’ve had a very different upbringing than they’ve had. It’s been interesting — and sometimes jaw-dropping — for me to hear about their experiences.

On top of that, Adam now has a faith-related job opportunity in Lansing, so he’s moving back to town!

We knew a podcast together needed to happen, and now we want to do it again!

Plus, Adam has a ton awesome music stuff going on right now! Two-Faced Wilson now extends from his solo act to a rock band trio, and their sound kicks ass! So we chat a lot about that as well! 🤘🎶

Loved this conversation with Adam and Sarah. Enjoy!

Lansing Facts has made me enjoy Twitter. This Lansing-based parody account is run by the hilarious humans, Craig Terrill, Emily Syrja, and Ty Forquer. I had a blast chatting with them on the podcast! 🎧🎙

We talk about how Lansing Facts started, where the team would like to see it go, Quality Dairy (of course), Stobers, the gem that is the closed Mr. Taco Facebook group, the new Lansing Facts merch, and much more! Enjoy, friends!
