This month’s episode starts with a chat about Studio Ghibli’s delightfully idiosyncratic Porco Rosso, before an opening conversation about Spanish Love Song’s 2020 album Brave Faces Everyone. We paused at 13:45 to listen to the album repeatedly for a few weeks, then engaged in a deep dive into the lyrics, music, and context for this beautifully challenging album.
Interviews referenced: The Rodeo, The Alternative, Atwood Magazine, and a February 2021 Twitter thread that we won’t link to because, ya know, fascism.
Next topics: Miyazaki in July and The Wind Waker in August.
