Dan talks to Laura again (check out #182 for the first time she was on back in Fall 2020), and she's been up to a lot since they last chatted. They talk about her new album, 'Daughter Of The Sea', her work with the Almanac Dance Circus Theatre and Cannonball Festival, splitting her time between Philly and New York, her Bowie-inspired music video (directed by Matt Keppler), cultural identity, learning to love yourself, and the term Laura coins: "Lizzo-big-dress-energy". 'Daughter Of the Sea' is out now and available wherever you get digital music, including Laura's Bandcamp. 

Dan talks to Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy about growing up in suburban Connecticut, being a bad teen employee, Phish (just a little bit), the journey of the band over the last several years, late 90s/early 00s MTV, moving forward as a three-piece, Epitaph Records, and their upcoming Philly Music Fest performance at Undergroud Arts. 

Dan talks to Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz/Sad 13) about as much as he can cram into an interview: fronting her bands, her new book of poetry 'Cry Perfume', juggling grad school and touring, her work with Union of Musicians and Allied Workers, advocacy for safe venues, and so much more. 'Cry Perfume' is out now via Black Ocean, available wherever you get books, and she's currently out on book tour with Michael DeForge. You can keep up with everything Sadie at sadiedupuis.com.
