Razorcake Podcast #128: With Joe Evans III
This was the plan: Head out to California for a week, to check out Awesome Fest, and see Los Angeles while staying at my friends’ Matt and Kevin’s house. Two days before my flight, Todd asked if I’d be interested in recording a podcast, and I accepted. I rushed to pick out some songs and burn a CDR amongst packing and assembling zines, asking myself questions like “Do I go with a theme? Stuff that Razorcake readers already know and love, or try to throw them a curveball?” All of those were answered with “Here’s a bunch of music I like.” A week later, after very little sleep and eating nothing but junk food (including that bear claw up above, moments before), Todd and I sat down and recorded it. I hope you enjoy (but feel better by the time it’s done than I felt by the time I got home).
