Post date April 23, 2024

Raymond Biesinger discusses his best-selling book, 305 Lost Buildings of Canada, and trajectory as an illustrator, when Cadence Weapon introduced us outside of a Sadies show in Edmonton, why he didn’t actually feel like attending that show, his time in the Famines and why he retired from music making, his Edmonton social circles, why his work highlights marginalized lives and his use of historical adaptation, how his collaboration with Alex Bozikovic and their book came about, people who steal his work, an idea for his next book, other future plans, and much more.

Post date April 6, 2024

Joshua Wayne Hensley and Jared Myers discuss their band forestlike and recent self-titled debut album, life in Indiana and first bonding over buckets, the very flattering song that Josh wrote about me, why Jared abandoned a promising music trajectory and why he’s back at it now, a profound and somewhat unusual experience I had listening closely to their new album, spiritual and even Christmas themes in their latest songs, writing new music together and apart, other future plans, and much more.
