2025/12/30

This week on I Want You To Know --we close the year, we close the season, and sort of end the show with lots of voices from the past, friends of mine, and people I love and respect—when they tell me their favorite films from the first quarter of the 21st century. I thought it would be a fitting send off—to hear the wide array of guests sharing their lists. I will also play some tunes from the aforementioned lists, and I give a thorough exit, and info on the future of the show.

My next guest is an art historian, and an educator. I want to talk to her about the culture of art in an academic space, and how folks are digesting art, especially art that predates the student, she’s always had great taste, I mean this as a compliment— but her personality even seems curated of only the best and smartest stuff. To the donors out there, and future donors…I hope you enjoy this elevated conversation about art, this is just a snippet of the kind of programming we strive to bring you—I

My next guest and I met when I was working at a comedy establishment we both occupied in different capacities. She performed some wonderful pieces within a bigger show. It was great. What wasn’t great was one of those pieces were not captured on video (in my defense I was only indirectly involved in uploading the shows I captured for the theatre). I was pretty bummed because I knew she gave her all, and she offered something special. But, alas, it was gone. BUT, I BECAME A FANI offered her a small

Purity and authenticity is a tricky thing in life...but it’s especially daunting when it comes to making art. Most of art is balancing a pose and presentation, with purity, and revelation, and confession. So, if you make a wrong turn aesthetically you can dilute the confession, or muddy the waters. But, my next somehow crept out of the conventional place of indie singer songwriter, into real life hip hop artist….is that possible?Lets find outI Want You To Know Matt McCombs and his new albumThe Sun

My next guest makes music that places you on the fringes, on the outside, rooted in some sort of Americana like story, but also relentless, unhinged, cinematic, in some place we have never seen, but know all to well.The recordings are personal, intimate, and seemingly losing itself at the seams…I really enjoyed the conversation.I Want You To Know Puckett Electric and his new record Bone Conduction

A lot is happening in the world, the government is shut down, and massive kookery all around. I work a lot, no days off, if you know me personally you’ve heard me complain about all the working. But, but, this week is my birthday, in the past I’ve done a joint bday show with Jeff Shuman, live from Musso & Frank, we also did a live from Disneyland. I’ve had my mother and sister on.

My next guest is a time traveller. She manages to make melodies that sound familiar, classic, predetermined in the souls of the soulful, she has a folksy accent, modest demeanor… yet She seems other worldly, esoteric, with futuristic arrangements, and sensibilities, blending several genres at once—to create her own genre, she seems almost alien, wearing clothes that appear like a costume…a costume that someone from another time would believe a groovy art pop person would wear.Full disclosure, this

My next guest is a visual artist, not quite a musician (he makes music), a radio host and jock—at times. But, above all else, he’s someone with an artistic mind. When you’re with him, talk to him, or working with him—he doesn’t quite process things in a conventional and linear way. He brings his entire life story into his process. It’s truly an artistic mind. I had a mentor once tell me “treat every project you do as if it’s an art project”—and thankfully, (and unfortunately) it’s mostly easy for me

This is a remixed episode. It’s sort of a rerun with footnotes, updates, and revisiting themes. Since a lot of my show is interviewing my friends, or people I’m criss crossing within projects—often themes and events are revisited.In some cases, a show’s theme will change with time—I guess that’s the nature of life, but reverberations can be tracked, lines (jagged and linear) drawn back to an event or episode or person.Recently, while gathering mailbag questions, a writer named Sam asked about my
