The OWL Podcast

David and I have a quick chat about Big D and The Kids Table's new album Do Your Art!

Nat and I talk mostly plants in this episode. He's an expert at grafting (attaching plant limbs to other plants), a chocolatier, and awesome musician! The cool surf rock jam in the beginning is called Rioja-Do the Alkeehol! by his project The Aquamen, and the outtro is called Noodle from his project Shredd Papaya. You can find him at nattybynature.net and madrechocolate.com

Second half of the episode because it was too long to upload! Enjoy

Gabe Sachter-Smith is an incredibly knowledgable human. He spends his time in Hawaii breeding bananas and seeking new varieties. I found out about him because of a lecture he has on youtube that BLEW MY MIND. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6hIczyBnbI&list=WL&index=70 We get deep, so this is my first 2 part episode. Enjoy!

David and I hop on skype and talk balancing creative endeavors with family!

Steven and I hop on Skype an he tells me of some of his travels and finds. Definitely a fun topic! If you'd like to keep up with him, or see some really cool strange plants be sure to follow him on Instagram or Facebook! The song at the end is a cover of "Brillas" by León Larregui.

Teddy and I met because we're both participants in a diet study put on by Boston Children's Hospital. You can check it out here: https://www.childrenshospital.org/fb4study/ I figured this would be a nice way to document the times.

Morgan had me over to his apartment in LA to talk about comedy, songwriting, and the overhanging feeling that every moment be filled with something productive.

Imagine spending all your life living in the same place just to be told that you don't have the same rights as all of your peers, simply because you were born on the "wrong" side of a 20 feet line in the sand. My guests on this episode have chosen to stay anonymous because of the risk that comes from speaking out some of these issues. If you have a story you'd like to share as well please reach out! Never forget that people are people, everywhere.

Adam is an awesome guest. He advocates for fair drug laws, as well as self discovery. This episode is also a little old (I've got a few more to clear out before posting new content) but the points still stand. His podcast Cognitive Rampage is definitely worth the listen.    I think maybe I should start recording conversations with guests who I don't agree with so much.

Ace and I got on skype and talked about getting out of the basement and facing the world. It's a little old; some of my questions feel pointed and cringy now but life ain't about hiding your flaws.  Check him out on Spotify, Soundcloud, Twitter and Instagram. Stay tuned for some tunes at the end!

In case you wondered what this was all about, here's a short description!

Aristotle and I met at the gone, but not forgotten, Meltdown Comics. It was surreal being in a room where so many incredible conversations have been had. Hope this one holds up! We chat about the comfort in knowing what you're doing at a day job vs the constant change when venturing down THE PATH. Follow him on instagram and twitter @aristacos and keep up with all the awesome podcasts he produces! Spam him until he's convinced to pick up his drum sticks and play drums again! Maybe pick up your own sticks and get On With Life!

Nino and I sit down at Bella Vista Pizza in the Brazilian Mall in Culver City and talk about making the tough call to pursue creative endeavors! Follow him on Instagram @check4ninobeige and check out this write about him in Voyage LA: http://voyagela.com/interview/meet-nino-beige-sound-beige-recordings/   I would apologize for the lip smacking but the food was absolutely delicious. If you're ever feeling adventurous in the area, try the Banana Dessert Pizza, and get On With Life!
