Andy reads a monologue about going to a friend's house for a swim and having beer, cookies, and coffee.

Andy and Melodica the Alien attempt to host the show together, but Andy gets called away due to an emergency in the PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY TOWER cafeteria. Melodica takes over the show and fields a phone call from Gam Steerson, an independent candidate running for the office of president of the United States of America who seems more interested in snacks than politics. Andy returns from the cafeteria drama in time to swap hosting duties with Melodica who also happens to get called away due to an emergency text message. Andy fields a phone call from a woman named Esmerelda Consuela Constance Marie who attempts to predict very obvious things in Andy's future.

Andy takes a phone call from a drunken cowboy poet who calls himself Chimmy-Chimmy and can't seem to find his girlfriend. Also, Andy sings "If You're Happy and You Know It" and Melodica the Alien returns!

Our guest is the film and contemporary ensemble composer, multi-instrumentalist, and journalist, William Wright! Andy talks with William about his career trajectory which began as the singer/guitarist for the rock band Senryu to his stint as the Harry Potter lore-inspired wandcore rapper LiL iFFy to being one half of the electro duo Peak Physique to his current work as a contemporary composer who recently scored his first feature film, the award-winning independent movie This World Alone. William's first album for Gezellig Records, Salt Mass, did so well they're releasing a follow-up. Pale Harvest: Ritual Dances of Hookland County is available now for preorder here. Check out the video for William's single "Wren Danse" here.

Our guest is the artist, musician, and founder of the Madison, WI DIY tape label Painted Blonde, Jason Lambeth! Andy talks with Jason about the artists on his label's roster, the joys of running an indie record label, making and editing videos to document his process, and how Jason balances a creative life with his family obligations. In addition to all the above, Jason plays guitar and sings for the band Red Pants. His band's latest album, Distortion and Snow, is available now via Painted Blonde (obviously!).

Andy goes solo for this one and talks about: covering the Solid Sound Festival for Surviving the Golden Age and seeing Jonathan Richman, bringing his mom home from the hospital, and the song "Dancing in the Moonlight".

Our guest is Autumn from the lo-fi bedroom pop act Moon Racer! Autumn makes intimate, dreamy songs using vintage Casio synths, a four-track tape recorder, and her own sweet voice. Andy talks with Moon Racer about: touring, music she loves, and connecting with musician and Orindal Records founder Owen Ashworth and releasing music via his label. Andy plays Moon Racer's latest single, a cover of the Patty Loveless song "You Can Feel Bad". Find more Moon Racer music at her Bandcamp page here: https://moon-racer.bandcamp.com/
