This is the part 2 of the interview I did with Lydia Gustaf in 2022. It has lived on my patreon until recently but I decided it was a great conversation and should be released to the world. Lydia and I got into discussing the world if improvisational comedy, why people think it's okay to be dicks and much more. All things Lydia and Gustaf below. Part 1 to my conversation with Lydia HERE

I conducted this interview with Greg Saunier on April 26th 2022 to research a documentary I was trying to put together about Spotify and stream streaming services exploit the labor of musicians. Sadly the project didn't come to fruition but the insights of Greg Saunier and profound and important. I don't think many people take for granted that they can throw down $15 bucks a month for a streaming service, have unlimited access to music and how little of this money makes it into the pockets of the artists.

Kyle Field (Little Wings) and Lee Baggett have been playing in one form or another for years. One of those forms is a Be Gulls. Both gents are favorites of listeners and myself so I thought it would be a great and groovy idea to get them on the show together to discuss the Be Gulls, working/touring together and the current world of music. We also have a few digressions into rush, and what extension cords Lee likes to use.
