Doctor Gold7 - Suzanne NagelI had the privilege of sitting with the brilliant and powerful Suzanne Nagel this week. She is a businesswoman in Pittsburgh who built and owns my favorite yoga studios in town @OmLoungeYoga We discussed the history of yoga in America, yoga retreats and how studios make their money, the pandemic policy in Pgh for business owners, the longterm consequences of masking, antisemitism and much more. I highly recommend you go take a class with her or one of her phenomenal teachers if you are local to the Western PA area.

Doctor Gold6 - BuscratesIncredibly honored to interview one of the foremost producers in Pittsburgh and one of the frontrunners of the modern funk movement. Buscrates has been going strong now crafting unique compositions from a dizzying array of hardware synths, drum machines and samplers for decades but don't sleep on the DJing. His 45 sets are absolutely dynamic and on twitch you will get a head nod education every Friday at 5p if you are wise enough to tune in for science function. I know I have a lot more to cover with this incredible artist and look forward to the next of...

Doctor Gold3 - SelectaSo excited to drop this third installment. I sat down with a man who could easily be called the best DJ in Pittsburgh (there's a ton of talent here don't get me started, Nugget has to be mentioned as well but the styles are very different) for over an hour. We cover the history of hip hop in Pittsburgh, give out secrets about the shadow lounge, mac miller, cover how the pandemic birthed his transition to live streaming which he feels saved his DJ career. It was fun, I laughed probably too much, and honestly can't wait to have...
