Mostly Harmless Podcast

Dang ol Dang! Back in the Paper again! Woo!
A few weeks ago I stopped by to talk to the owner Faith about events at her Record Store and Bar here in Napa! As I walked in, she excitedly waved me over to the bar and there sat from !!!!

Shannon grew up here in Napa was in town for Thanksgiving. I had worked with Shannon last year, she did an all vinyl DJ set at the Napa Valley Distillery, so we know each other slightly! Her band is performing on New Years Eve and Folklore will be hosting a Meet & Greet Pre-Party the day before on Mon Dec 30th!

They were brainstorming ideas for the meet and greet. I piped up I could host a Q&A at the event! I've been wanting to relaunch a version of the LIVE Podcast we were doing in Denver and do a version here in Napa. Think Talk Show/Podcast in a Public Access style setting. Shannon was super into it, so I'll be hosting a Q&A on MONDAY with Shannon and The Clams! Wu! What!?!?

While we chatted, I asked how the promo for the NYE Show was going and learned they wanted to do more. I've done PR work in the past and had some local connections, so I offered to help! When I reached out to the local newspaper... THEY ASKED ME to write the piece! This is my first piece for the paper in over two years!

I sat down and spent probably 100 hours working on this piece! I had to get it RIGHT! The interview with Shannon was a BREEZE. It was exactly what I was looking for. The challenge was turning a fantastic 45 minute interview into 1300 words!

I've always dreamed of being interviewed by my hometown paper. I wanted to do it right & showcase how talented artists can come from anywhere, especially a small town like Napa and how she takes those pieces of Napa with her around the world! I'm super happy with the work!

I'm going to work up a small photocopy zine of the actual interview with Shannon and myself and print out 50 or so copies for Monday! I'll post that in my SUB-ST-ACK next week!

In the meantime, please read this piece and let me know what you think! What a cool way to end a strange year, but start 2025 with some killer possibilities for the future.
