So this another throwback interview. Our close friend and partner with NQuit Music, Aaron Trumm, is our guest host for an interview with D'Santi Nava. He did this interview back in November of 2017. Once again, life got in the way. For more information and show notes: http://www.twistedpop.com/podcast/tpp-28-dsanti-nava/

It has been a very long time since I put a podcast out. This one was recorded in November. Sometimes life gets in the way of my creative endeavors. Sometimes I get in the way of everything. In this case, it's clear that I have been in the way. For more information go to twistedpop.com.

This post is about Duke Hunter. And Duke Hunter is a bad ass. Percussionist, musician, teacher, music teacher, athlete, in line skater... His energy is infectious. I have been to Botanga and he is a solid musician. We had a good time interviewing him. He seemed to have a good time talking to us. As the podcast progresses, I hope to get Duke involved in some more discussions. For more information go to: http://www.twistedpop.com/?p=1666&preview=true

So I’m a couple weeks behind in editing, so you get the Thanksgiving episode now. Not really. I mean we don’t really talk about Thanksgiving at all. I just happen to mention it in the beginning of the episode.For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

This is an episode of I Hate Art with Ashley O'Shenanigans. We talk about Zine Fest Houston 2017 and how much there was to see. Then we get into the I Hate Art segment where I tried to get into a discussion about mentors but nobody was into it. They wanted to talk about the late Kenny Cordray and the Houston Urban Legends around his involvement with ZZ Top and David Bowie.

In episode 23, we talk about the eccentrics. Initially inspired by the Netflix documentary about Joan Didion, we explore what's missing from today's social media landscape. How we, as artists, are encouraged to not be eccentric by continually being marketed the idea that we need to find our market. Maybe we don't need to find our market. http://www.twistedpop.com/podcast/tp-ep-0023/

Aaron Trumm (NQuit Music), interviews Joyce Kettering - Musician, Composer, Instrumentalist, Entrepenur. Joyce was working as a contracts compliance auditor at a Fortune 500 company in 2016 when she decided to become a lot more serious about her music. So she started recording. A lot of recording. Now she's doing music full time. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

Episode 21 is an I Hate Art segment. It figures that our best episode is followed by our worst episode. There's some stuff to laugh at. Kids screaming in the background. An old light that we tried to add to our production kit just about catches on fire. We never really caught a rhythm on this one, but it's funny sometimes and it's short. One thing that I referred to in the end that is a good takeaway. The Wheelworkers at the Satellite Bar in Houston, TX, October 27, 2017. Last time I saw them at Fitz, they were great. A visual show with public domain movies playing on a screen behind them. Modular synths. Good songs. I bought a CD. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com

In Episode 20 of the Twisted Pop Podcast, we interview actor, writer, filmmaker, producer and director Sarita Callender, aka Jade Lesyeux. Jade was Sarita's alias while she was in the Witness Protection Program. We have yet to interview anyone that hasn't surprised us in some way. Even people that we've known for a long time have told us things that we didn't know about them. No one caught us more off guard than Sarita Callender. As the interview opened, I asked Sarita why she had an alias. She responded that she had been in the Witness Protection Program. We had no idea whether she wanted to pursue the details of that story in a podcast with two guys that she had met only minutes previous to the interview, but we left the door open.

In this episode, we talk about following someone else's vision versus following your own versus working with a team. It's a dense subject. We could probably spend a whole lot of time defining each of these ideas first. For more information and show notes, go to: twistedpop.com
