Podcast appearances and mentions of chris mott

In a 1999 song, Tom Waits persistently asks, “What's he building in there?/ What the hell is he building in there?” In his humble garage art studio, Tom Shelton has been making magical “pictures,” often landscapes, rendered through the ordered lens through which he sees the world. In fact, a piece on Journey Indiana describes him as a “system painter.” Not only did we discuss his paintings but also his childhood, partially defined by his mother's alcoholism, and his circuitous and beautiful life path.

Most of us have that event in our life that seemed insignificant at the time but ultimately defined the trajectory of our life. For Stacy Bridavsky, it was an internet cat film festival after an exhausting day of orientation for a new job at an art museum in Minneapolis. It was here that her future husband Mike, also known as Lil Bub's dude, fell head over heels for her. In less than a year, she was living with him (in sin) in Bloomington, which was where she learned of the heartbreaking and suspicious 2015 death of IU student Joseph Smedley, who was found dead in Griffy Lake with 66 pounds of rocks strapped to his back. Although it was ruled a suicide, Joseph's family believed there was foul play. So does Stacy, who created the podcast A Heavy Weight to advocate for Joseph and his family.

Anurag Bhat has been a policeman in India and a mosh pit participant at the Bishop. He has abandoned his childhood home under the cover of the night in Kashmir and facilitated a heat mapping study under the glare of the sun in Bloomington. In our conversation with this IU grad student, we talk about everything from ice water to climate change. He may not be long for Bloomington, but this episode can serve as a time capsule for his time in our town.

Mallory Elver was tired of sitting on her couch, swiping left and right to look for love. Then, her pal Nicole Bennett discovered an alternative to internet dating in Indianapolis, and Bloomington Singletons was born. Months later, Nicole was standing in the front of a private room at Heartworks Brewery, pitching her friend Mallory to a crowd of live humans. Josh and Chris were on the scene, interviewing so many fascinating attendees — including the emcee, pitchers (one from Trinidad!), pitchees (including a standup comedian), and other gawkers and spectators. In the immortal words of so many 80s newsletters, “fun was had by all.” Thank you to our sponsors, Gretchen and Ruth Nall and Bloomington Rentals and Realty for their support of the pod.

The voice of Pam Thrash has been part of the soundtrack of so many of our lives in Bloomington. Currently the host of the popular Retro Lunch Hour on B97, Pam has been broadcasting tunes and joy on the radio waves for over thirty years. An ice-skating injury as a child sparked her DJ journey and began a wild ride of a life. Pam Thrash is living proof that, if you're lucky enough to find the thing you love, you'd better hang onto it for dear life and be willing to pretend like you know how to do the things that will get you in the door.

Well everybody, we didn't have time to interview an official guest because Josh is heading to Spain with Virginia to hang with her badass family. But we did get some excellent Mellencamp stories from our friend, Angie Cannon, who is a real-deal townie. Other than that, unfortunately for you, what you are getting here is the kind of episode that gives podcasts a bad name: a couple of dipshits talking about nothing and having the audacity to invite you to put your earbuds in and enter their void of absurdity.

Maria Douglas is one of those people who really holds down the fort for Bloomington. She is badass social worker-community servant-activist, currently serving the Monroe County Women's Commission, NAACP Youth Council, and Hoosier Asian American Power, which she helped found. During all of this, she has been on an intense journey, making sense of her experience as a transracial Korean adoptee. Last but not least, if you were around in the 90s in Bloomington, you may have wandered around town drunk with her, probably smoking too many cigarettes.

Christopher Mott discusses realism in International Relations, the American Empire, and how the U.S. has been the most successful state in history. The liberal internationalist elite have lost their way, live in an alternate reality, and promote policies that undermine American power which is waning. The West suffers from democratism or the belief it has a woke ideological mission to terraform the planet for freedom, which it also uses to justify the suspension of civil liberties at home when it needs to. He also refers to this as "woke imperium," an activist-driven, social justice-oriented foreign policy and liberal Atlanticist tendency to push moralism and social engineering globally. He believes it's not working anymore and is becoming obsolete. Global NATO flies in the face of declining unipolarity and multipolar reality.

We highly recommend that you go back and listen to our episode “Hello, Hello, Hello Jon Wurster” if you have not already. Jon Wurster is the drummer for The Mountain Goats and Bob Mould. He was the drummer for Superchunk for over three decades. He is also a comedy writer and performer, known best for his hilarious characters in The Best Show, including Ronald Thomas Clontle, the fictitious author of the book, Rock, Rot & Rule. Clontle claims that his book is the ultimate argument settler when it comes to deciding whether famous bands and musicians rock, rot, or rule. This interview brings to a close a story that has been over thirty years in the making.

We spent September putting our lives on the line, hunting for ghosts. We made Instagram posts. We texted people. We stopped people in hallways at work. We even slid into DMs. We almost went to a haunted train tunnel. We did this all for you. And now, safe and sound from the netherworld, we're delivering four ghost stories right into your earholes.

On Josh's 50th birthday, BadkneesTs' Jim Beck hosted a grand reopening for his new location on West Kirkwood across from Rose Hill Cemetery, forever home of Hoagy Carmichael and so many other seminal Bloomington humans. (In fact, just the other day, Chris's son pointed out how many Hinkle headstones there are. If you eat burgers and haven't had a Hinkle's hamburger, go visit Badknees then head west a few blocks for lunch at Hinkle's.) Anyway, Josh and Chris set up a mobile recording tent at the event because If You Pitch It, They Will Talk. And they did. We chatted with Andrew Kupersmith, Max Chestnut from Columbus, Benedict Jones, Eli McCormick, Camryn Greer and Mallory Elver, and Bloomington cornerstone, Tim Clower. The filling in this donut is a recording of Beck's moving and historic speech commemorating the unveiling of the Bloomington monolith.

Acts 22:22-23:11 Mr. Chris Mott

Joel Washington is one of those superheroes of Bloomington who walks among us like he's no big deal. His artistry is his superpower. In fact, for his decades of making colorful–sometimes almost psychedelic–pop art, he received the City of Bloomington Living Legend Award in 2021. We also found out that he's not too shabby on a skateboard either, and he's been doing it long before the the City decided that skating was rad. Joel's skater pal, Jonathan Prather, came along too. Jonathan is the owner of Rhett Skateboarding and an all-around awesome dude.

Our guest, Asher Waite-Jones, greeted us in pajamas and immediately began making Josh feel slightly nervous–before we could even start recording. While we can never predict how successful an interview will be, this was certainly an auspicious beginning. You might expect a certain degree of decorum from a Staff Attorney in the Bloomington Office of Indiana Legal Services who, according to a Maurer School of Law blog, “runs the Expungement Help Desk, working alongside Maurer students to represent hundreds of low-income Hoosiers impacted by the criminal legal system.” But, as you know, we happen to specialize in bringing out the worst in people—even local saints like Asher. And he brought his A game: gossip about the ex, all kinds of sex jokes, and a real doozy of an imitation of one of our hosts.

Today's story is about a band, a song, and a brush with fame that's more cringe than cool. Thirty years ago, Bloomington danced to the electronic beats of Situation Grey, a college band known more for their covers than cutting-edge originality. Their lead singer—one of our hosts—dreamed of being an indie music maestro, but instead became the king of campus karaoke. Then, one fateful night in the early '90s, some indie rock royalty walked in. What followed was not the stuff of dreams, but the kind of anecdote you reluctantly share at parties. We're talking about the kind of story that gets trotted out at every party, the one guaranteed to elicit a polite chuckle and a sympathetic head tilt. Fast-forward three decades, and that same celebrity brings the story full circle with a digital-age jab that reignites a moment our singer wishes he could forget. In this episode, we peel back the layers of a memory marinated in both mortification and time, exploring the unexpected ways our past populates our present. Stay tuned, as we dissect the enduring echo of fifteen  minutes of shame that lasted thirty years. WE HAVE MERCH! Designed by Chris Mott and sponsored by badknees. Check it out!

Sara Gardner came to town/ Turned her bike into a crown/ Rode the bus to sororities/ For shits and giggles-what a tease!/ Went out west to use her math/ Stacked up cash and came on back/ Opened the doors to a rainbow space/ Stuck some fake teeth in her face/ Trolls the town, leaves some aghast/ And now she's a guest on our podcast.

Bloomington Stories snags interview with media maven, Mike Conway! Hold onto your fedoras, folks, because Bloomington Stories has just landed the interview of the century! Fresh off the press, we've got the lowdown on our chat with none other than Dr. Mike Conway, the head honcho over at the esteemed Indiana Broadcast History Archive (IBHA)! This sharp fella isn't just another suit, mind you. Dr. Conway's practically a walking encyclopedia of news! Back in the day, this ace reporter wore every hat imaginable in the bustling world of television newsrooms – from sharpshooting photographer to the smooth-talking anchorman himself! But before he was the kingpin of the IBHA, preserving Indiana's media legacy, Dr. Conway was just a bright-eyed young buck at IU, spinning tunes on the college radio station (WIUS, now known as WIUX) and chasing the big stories. We even got the exclusive scoop on his daring hitchhiking adventure in the 80s, where he trekked across the country with a petition straight for the desk of the one and only David Letterman! Talk about moxie! So, grab your best listening ears, Bloomington! This episode is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes secrets and historical insights! Don't miss it! Also, BIG NEWS: WE HAVE MERCH!

Salvage yard. Does that phrase make you think of goats or ducks? Baby dolls? Unicycles? Barges? Field trips? The January 6 Insurrection? Hugging? Our guest, Bethany Robinson, is the vice president of JB's Salvage, a classic Bloomington business on the west side of Bloomington. We had the pleasure of getting the history of this salvage yard that her father, J.B. Robinson, started decades ago and built into a thriving business before he passed away. We also get to ask her all the questions about the weird shit that happens at a salvage yard. Come along and listen to stories about a place where stuff goes to die–and eventually get reborn.

We take a conversational stoll through our town, this time joined by fellow podcasters Alex and Miles from “It's a Beautiful Day in the Gulch.” We talk about our shared love for Bloomington (the Gulch), but also our common experience of defending the decision to stay here. These Hoosier Alan Lomaxes tell us about Nighthawk, a local caped crusader, and his direct action crew. We also get to hear about Humor the Clown, who is actually a mime. Along the way, we talk about Reggie Miller, Farm Aid, Alex's last name, Miles' alter-ego, Premiles, and, of course, John Mellencamp. We even get a guest appearance by Sushi the cat, and an original poem by Alex. This episode is a love letter to Bloomington to close out 2023. BIG NEWS: WE HAVE MERCH!

And when she did do stuff, she played drums with The Blake Babies, Juliana Hatfield, Antenna, Gentleman Caller, Sunshine Boys, and Mysteries of Life among other 90s darlings. She wrote Red Velvet Underground, a cookbook/ memoir. However, once again we have no interest in lingering on our guest's remarkable accomplishments but prefer to bring out the worst in them. So get ready to hear about Ricky's Cantina, robotripping, and roughing up a local celebrity.

Acts 5:12-42 Mr. Chris Mott

Rusty Peterson is the drummer in our band, The ShackUps, and the mysteriously sexy voice behind the Bloomington Stories intro. He is also a master carpenter and owns Rusty Peterson Construction. But we don't like to dwell on the things people are good at. In this episode, Rusty tells us about his experiences with nature, nudity, yoga cults, 10 gallon buckets of dumpster pie, and sinking boats. If you don't believe us, why don't ya just take a listen for yourself, ya lil bitch. BIG NEWS: WE HAVE MERCH! Designed by Chris Mott and sponsored by badknees. Check it out!

Psalm 42 Mr. Chris Mott

Rob Jordan works as a security guard at Bloomington High School North, but we found that he provides way more emotional security for students than he does guarding them from each other. During the interview, we talked about Rob's difficult upbringing in Kentucky, his deeply intuitive approaches to working with at-risk kids, donuts, knowing kids' names, the Chicago-to-Bloomington pipeline, body language, food insecurity, his son's first date, comic books, the students we've lost, and Sunday dinners. Oh, and bourbon. BIG NEWS: WE HAVE MERCH! Designed by Chris Mott and sponsored by badknees. Check it out!

Tall swooning bamboo, the smoke of clove cigarettes, and classical piano. If you've taken a walk on the near westside of Bloomington in the last many decades, you may have had this sensory experience as you knowingly or unknowingly passed the home of our guest, Simeon Rodgers. Having made his way from a farm in the middle of Indiana to the prestigious Indiana University Music in the 1960s, Simeon established a home here and earned a degree. He also made donuts to keep a roof over his daughters' heads and started a career in rolfing, an intense form of bodywork that involves manipulating deep tissue. Along the way, your hosts talk about fear of highways, Spanish beaches, Nine Inch Nails, spiritual godfathers, weeding gardens, eating pies at Spring Mill State Park, conflicts on rooftops, and, most importantly, being lil bitches.  In this episode, Chris incorrectly guessed that David Letterman interviewed Kenny Aranoff about rolfing, and Josh called  Scott his uncle. He's actually his cousin, so fuck you! Chris wrote this song for Simeon back in the day. Some of the references should be familiar, bitch.  BIG NEWS: WE HAVE MERCH!

The Flaming Lips took over Kirkwood for the annual Granfalloon Festival, which celebrates all things Kurt Vonnegut, but also, more importantly, seeks to make the humanities at IU sexy. Your cub reporters were on the scene, which sent us both into some time-tripping. Some of it has to do with our kids, so if you don't like hearing dads be nostalgic lil bitches about their kids, then skip to about halfway through the episode. Along the way, we talk about Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of Flaming Lips.

A rollicking conversation with Chris Mott of "Woke Imperium" fame. We checked in on geopolitics and ideology and how these have influenced current events and crazy trends in journalism, academia, gov't, NGOs, and the PMC in general. One fulcrum of the conversation was how the DC pride celebration has evolved over recent years to be dominated by the military-industrial-complex (Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, the CIA, McKinsey, the Pentagon, etc. all doing big floats and extravagant productions attesting to their woke cred), and how all this reflects the consummation of the marriage of progressive culture war social justice politics with neconservatism, and the seamless interplay between supposedly humanitarian intervention and militarism in the Establishments monomaniacal neoliberal messianism.

Summer in a college town, stolen TCBY signs, selling popcorn to John Cougar Mellencamp, and meeting one of your best friends in Sociology class after you've spent the night in jail. That's Jim Granato, our first guest. Jim grew up in Unionville, a little town right to the east of Bloomington. He and Josh became fast friends during high school, which is also when Jim found himself at home behind the camera. Jim is now a freelance filmmaker in San Francisco. His films and documentaries have appeared on PBS, including A Day with My Boy: Slug War and D-Tour, a documentary that follows professional drummer and Bloomington native, Pat Spurgeon, as he does daily dialysis and searches for a new kidney while on tour with rock band Rogue Wave. Spurgeon's story is deeply intertwined with those of several other Bloomingtonians. More about Jim: Jim Granato is a self-taught, award-winning filmmaker based in Oakland, California. Born in Chicago, Jim moved to the Bloomington area with his family when he was 5 years old (1978) and his earliest memories there are seeing the movie trucks and lights that were set around town when BREAKING AWAY (released 1979) was being filmed. He grew up fascinated with movies ever since, making up scenarios with childhood friends creating movie drawings and shooting polaroids and occasional super 8 before video cameras were available. In 1991, he started making short films on VHS with a dedicated group of friends that included trick or treaters getting run over, killer puppets, nude serial killers with plenty of the era's local underground music scene sprinkled in between. Jim left Bloomington in 1994.  Since 1996, he has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and has directed and produced several short films and music videos.  His shorts, A Day With My Boy: Slug War (2014), was licensed by PBS and premiered as part of their series PBS Indies, and Angels (2013) was nominated for a Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival. He has made music videos for Sonny & The Sunsets, Rogue Wave, Ramon & Jessica, Pancho-San and The Bobbyteens.  D TOUR (2009), which partially takes place in Bloomington, is his first feature film as director and producer. D TOUR won several awards including the Golden Gate Award for Bay Area Feature Documentary from the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Jury Prize for Best Documentary from the Bend Film Festival. D TOUR premiered nationwide on the PBS Emmy award-winning program Independent Lens in November 2009. He is currently working on a second feature film project with underground "budget rock" legends, The Mummies, and has plans to write and direct a feature length project based on growing up in Bloomington.
