Liberty Lounging with Jenna Hill-Higgs
On this episode, I sat down with Jenna Hill-Higgs at her bar, the Liberty Lounge located off Jennings and Pennsylvania in Fort Worth. We discuss her bar and the open accepting environment it fosters, her involvement with the gay community via her upbringing, being a former educator, and of course, I derail us into a talking about sci-fi for awhile while throwing in my two cents about education.

A Cold Afternoon in Keegan's Kitchenette
I sat down with Ft. Worth based singer/songwriter Keegan McInroe. We talked about music scenes, his extensive touring around many counties in Europe, and a whole host of other things. It was a fun couple of hours. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Occasional click-clacks in the background by his dog, the sweet old Delia Skunk.

A Walk Down Prater Street
I met up with Justin Prater in his office at Pro Rehearsal Studios. We talked, like ya do on a podcast, about various things: music, wrestling, and maybe some other topics. It was a good time and a beer drinking time. Check out the episode, and also check out his band Paper Street, hence the excellent and relevant title of this episode.

I Put a Hand Up Darren Collins
Darren Collins, who I first met about 20 years ago, is and has been many things: a professional touring juggler, a comedian, a magician, maybe one of those knife throwing guys (sorry, I lost count), but most importantly, he's been working in Nairobi, Kenya for the last eight years with the non-profit Project Hand Up. Luckily Darren was stateside for a bit and carved out some time for us to record a podcast in Santa's Workshop. I know this is a lot of odd information, but listen to the episode and all (kind of) will be explained. This was a...

Soundguying Off with Mark Randall
I first met Mark Randall when he was the sound guy at Main at South Side (RIP), and since it's closing, he's gone back to his roots of studio recording. Along with Ft. Worth musician Nick Tittle (of Arenda Light), Mark has recently opened up Blackstone FW, Ft. Worth's newest swankiest recording studio. Mark does occasionally run live sound at various venues and he's also a rad dude to hang out and shoot the shit with, which I've done many times. Hope you enjoy this most recent time of us doing just that. Oh, and if your band needs...

Prom Fartin’ with Ben McCracken
Ben McCracken is the singer/guitarist of the very kick ass Dallas-based band From Parts Unknown. Undeniably punk rock, some hardcore, a dash of ska, (maybe some rockabilly?) - at least that's how I describe them to people. They released a new album this year called "Bad Haircuts" that rips from start to finish. Listen to the album, go see them live, and buy some merch. Thanks to Ben for the time and for being an overall cool dude.

Jacob Linzy is the organizer of Chillderburg, an annual freedom-loving event in the Texas Hill Country. I've had the pleasure of doing stand up at the previous two outings and will be there again at this year's "Chillderburg Go" (Go being Japanese for 'five', this being the fifth one). We get into the origins of Chillderburg, how Jacob came to Texas, how much the government sucks, and what to expect at this year's iteration which will be held at the Rebecca Creek Campgrounds.

Gettin’ JackDaw(folk art) with Jack Russell
I sat down with one Jack Russell in his suburban homestead (don't mind the dogs, y'all) to talk about art, music, and oh yeah, Jägermeister. Jack is the big brains behind Jackdaw Folk Art: a true Texas-style of prints which sets up at various venues under a tent. Definitely check out these hand-printed on hand-torn, tea-stained, 140lb art paper purdy pictures. Jack has also played some bass guitar in the the Whiskey Folk Ramblers, Daybreak Hits, and currently Crooked Bones. I ain't lying: he's a true Texas original.

”It’s Baseball Time in Texas!!”
Major League Baseball Opening Day is tomorrow. Also, I love baseball and do not care who knows it. I love it so much that in lieu of writing a drawn out Facebook post like I usually do, I created yet another nugget of content for my podcast. I'm just an amateur baseball lover so it's all off the dome for about 20 minutes. No research, no moneyball number bullshit. This one is for the hardcore baseball lovers - the handful of you who probably listen to this podcast.

Didn't get into all the nuances and stories I would've liked, but hey, let's save that for a future episode.

With Apologies to Blake Barker
I interviewed my pal Blake Barker back in December 2021 in the greenroom of Tulips in Ft. Worth. Then I gave up on the podcast for a year. Like a dipshit, I never even uploaded it...until now. I am so sorry Blake. But if anything, now is the best time to upload it because Blake was recently featured in an article for Fort Worth Magazine, which I will drop a link down below. Enjoy! And Blake, again, I'm sorry. I owe you a hug. https://fwtx.com/news/fort-worthian-blake-barker/?fbclid=IwAR0HvOqQZgo3deVPSqBWFSrW_X2_LPLfTGLSAUoXjRMxLtmAQ_PQhnulq2c

In Spite of Aaron Aryanpur
I meet up with Aaron Aryanpur, a longtime comedy friend. We talk about comedy (obviously), his celebrity portrait artwork, and how his love of stand up comedy and drawing lead to him doing both professionally. Check Aaron out here >> http://aaronaryanpur.com/ for future stand up dates, or hell, hire him to do some art for you or your favorite celebrity. He's pretty damn good at both. Enjoy the conversation!

He plays bass in the surf punk band Mean Motor Scooter, records/engineers/produces bands at Cloudland Studios, and I guess has a kid or something. Twas a decent way to spend a Monday.

Jeckylling Off with Seth Brown
I met Seth Brown while working at Freebirds (the World Burrito!!). He's one of the most likeable dudes you could ever meet. Looks like a hippy dippy David Foster Wallace but minus the pretentiousness. Since our burrito rolling days, Seth has gone on to work at a special needs camp, break his kneecap in two, and get his master's degree in social work. We did this interview at Dr. Jeckyll's Beer Lab in Pantego, where we've had some pretty good times so it was fitting to hang out there. Enjoy!!

I sit down with guitarist and lead singer (and one time stand up comedian/storyteller) Sam Anderson of the Quaker City Night Hawks on the back patio of The Post at River East. We chat about baseball, how his band formed, the Fort Worth comedy and music scenes, and plenty of other topics before the JT Habersaat and Eddie Pepitone show, which is the reason for the odd edit about five minutes it (hotel booking issue, UGH). Nonetheless, a good time was had and some good beers were drank until the sun peaked behind the patio and we had...

His name is RAGUS
I sit down with long time buddy Ryan Ragus. Our friendship started in elementary school but was forged like steel in the flames of heavy music and partying in the years to follow. While I perused stand up comedy, Ragus has been creating, recording, mixing, and engineering music and keeping shit loud. We chat about 5th grade, his parents, "gigmares", bands, and then there's a lot of unabashed fanboying over Type O Negative towards the end. Hope you have as much fun listening as we did chatting.

We talk about how Alan's college radio experiences, how that lead to him booking bands, how the music industry adjusted during covid, and some other bullshit. Apologies for the audio, it should be fine, but hey, I'm learning. We also announce a unprofessional pee break which turned into a beer run. Luckily for everyone, there's a pause button.
