This episode, we stray from the mixtape of new music format and sit down with Beth Cameron - best known for her work as Forget Cassettes - and discuss the hardships of being a female in the recording industry. While we certainly cover the basics of how she got into music, the recording process of her first album Instruments of Action and what she's up to now, we also dive much deeper into how Nashville culture can do better about listening, finding empathy and how being vocal is the only road to a safer, inclusive, caring city.

We get back into it for the 2nd hour with Aaron Ford (Bluetip, Forget Cassettes, The Sincerity Guild, And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead). We begin at his entry into the Dischord Records band Bluetip and then through a litany of bands that culminated in his "8 months or more a year" touring and recording with Trail of Dead. And we also learn about his new career in the culinary world. Get your pens and paper together and be ready to take notes!
Aaron Ford (Bluetip, Forget Cassettes, The Sincerity Guild, And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) was just a kid from small town Georgia playing air drums with pencils and then Hit Stix to his favorite RUN DMC cassette. But then a magical moment on a neighbors orange Ludwig vistalite drum set changed everything. In this first hour of two we learn about those early days where he practiced for "6-8 hours a day" while working at a meat and three with "a bunch of women over 70." You will not believe where it all leads.
