The Ouchmonkeys Podcast is inspired by Studs Terkel's verbatim writing and the rising prominence of the ‘podcast’ as a medium of long-form discussion. I talk with awesome musicians, producers and sound engineers (amongst others) about creativity, inspiration, practice and loads of other interesting stuff.
