    We needed to bring in a major player like two time Grammy nominee Trevor Spencer to really figure this thing out. We are getting to the core of something that feels very important. A set of old school principles for a new school of heritage revivalist recording freaks.

  • Episode 507 - IWOL Live from Max Clarke's Car
    Mar 25 2026

    Max is rattling down streets in a Fender humming panic. His Princeton is on the outs, more whole lotta nothing than whole lotta love. We make a call, so he puts the car in idle to cough up half remembered dreams while New York leaks past the windshield in streaks.

    Cut Worms are gearing up for another North American odyssey in support of “Transmitter,” and he talks to us live from the driver’s seat about the great American rock existentialists, Chilton, Westerberg, Elliott Smith, and beyond.

    So join us on the journey. It’s Holden Caulfield drifting through a Peter Hujar afternoon, where everyone and everything looks beautiful and doomed at the same time.

    We love you, Max.

    Believe us, there is a big difference between doing music and making music. We are still refining this fresh hot take, but it applies to anyone who has dabbled in the impossible way of life. One thing we know for sure...it's all about balance.

  • Episode 501 - An Hour With Mikaela Davis and John Lee Shannon
    Mar 4 2026

    We are joined by two fine musicians, and even finer people, Mikaela Davis and John Lee Shannon to discuss Mikaela's new record "Graceland Way", which was produced by the two of them along side friend of the pod Dan Horne. They are also both members of The Grateful Shred so we talk a lot of jam. Is it easy to jam on a harp, you ask? You'll have to listen to find out.
