Today’s guest on Interior Plains is Claire Martin, who was born and raised here in St. Louis. Claire is a huge advocate for people going after what they want full force, not letting their negative self talk limit what they think they’re capable of or deserve. She wants everyone to get outside their comfort zone and learn that it’s not as scary as we all might think. It’s no surprise, then, that Claire wanted to discuss imposter syndrome on this episode of Interior Plains. Thanks for always inspiring us to go for the brass ring, Claire!

Today's episode features the Max Wyeth, who stopped through Interior Plains to talk about many of our favorite topics—films, food, and family. In particular, he wanted to shine a spotlight on his grandma and dear friend, Betty aka Tita Jean. Max is one-of-a-kind--a born performer. It's no surprise then that he pulls all of friends and family into his skits (which he calls “art”). The leading lady in many of these productions is his grandma, Ms. Tita Jean. She is the Abbott to his Costello. See for yourself by checking out Max’s Instagram…these are a couple of my favorite skits: No thank you  Midnight Train  Theme Song provided by the one and only Celia

A quick little treat of a minisode where we travel down memory lane with fan favorite Willie Cherry (see espisode Willie & The Mall).  I ask every guest where they grew up, and we got more than our money's worth with Willie's answer. It's a truly midwestern taste of hardship, fame, and other wordly beings, and it demanded it's own show. I hope you enjoy this minisode! Theme Song provided by the one and only Celia

Willie Cherry, a shopping mall enthusiast, walks us through how he developed his love for malls while growing up in small Iowa and Minnesota towns. That love continues to this day, even as Willie has traveled abroad. Take a listen to see how malls have served as a social jumping off point, a cultural center of a community, and a resource for making music videos come to life. Theme song is "Montain Sun" provided by Jason Shaw.

Introducing Interior Plains--a podcast about life in the Midwest. On Interior Plains, we will explore the connection Midwesterners have to the land, their community and their craft.
