Following the devastating news of his shocking death on June 30, 2023, I remember Rick Froberg, who is someone I've admired most of my life and became friends with over the past 20 years. Featuring my recollections about his artwork, songwriting, and bands like Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and Obits, and archival interviews I conducted with Rick about such things in 2005, 2009, and twice in 2011. Rick was truly unique, warm, and supportive, and I love him. Thank you, Rick.

On this week's episode, host Scott Crawford spoke with comedian/actor Jason Selvig. He makes up one half of the comedy duo The Good Liars along with Davram Stiefler. The two have starred in their own critically acclaimed political mockumentary "The Undecided" in 2016 and have a new film on the way this Summer entitled "The Supporters." Their guerrilla approach to filmmaking follows in the tradition of Michael Moore and Sacha Baron Cohen—where the results are often as savagely funny as they are completely maddening. Selvig talked about filmmaking, attending the insurrection on January 6, getting arrested for trying to shutdown Santa Con, some of their scariest moments on the campaign trail, his love of post-hardcore bands and plenty more! Intro/Outro music provided by Michael Hampton and Sohrab Habibion.
