Episode 142 - Jamey Stegmaier Talks Tapestry

The Cardboard Herald ·

2019/11/20

This interview was from a bit back (speaking of which, I recommend you check out the video channel for tightly produced video interviews released typically much earlier than the podcast). Anyway, it was a great conversation about Tapestry BEFORE it came out. I have a feeling that our conversation would have been a whole other thing if it were post release (though equally as pleasant, I’m sure). Anyway, hope you dig it.00:52 - Plans to grow Stonemaier03:23 - Feelings on the precipice of Tapestry04:34
