Leanne Betasamosake Simpson returns to discuss her new album Live Like the Sky, why people are so often air unaware, her book Theory of Water and how a world ending means a new one is beginning, the concept of generative refusal, lakes, oceans, skiing, running, and surfing, holding a tape recorder up to a car radio speaker to capture underground rock music in the 1980s and how those new wave and post-punk sounds inform this new record, learning to sing and making music that is fun even though the lyrics are heavy, touring, a new book, other future plans, and much more.

Casey Gomez Walker from Case Oats is here to discuss their new album, Last Missouri Exit, why no federal government should ever underestimate the grit and resolve of the people of Chicago, growing up in St. Louis and being assigned school band instruments, music lessons and having the right learning tools, falling in love with storytelling, a song about an ex’s girlfriend and that same girlfriend knowing about the song, writing and singing that recalls David Berman, touring, other future plans, and much more.
