Lee Bains III | Musician

For the season finale back in 2022, Short Takes had an insightful, fun, poignant, and funny interview with Lee Bains III. He talks about his new album, 'Old-Time Folks,' which released on August 5, 2022. He delves into the process of lyrics, the coverage from Rolling Stone, his activism, the fiction of Cool Hand Luke, visions of Mad Max in Arizona, and what's done up real good for him of late.

Matt Mitchell | Comedian and Creator

From 2022's second season of Short Takes, host Blaine Duncan gets a chance to sit and talk with Alabama comedian and internet personality Matt Mitchell. If you don't know his name, there's still a high chance that you've seen some of Matt's work or videos -- he nails Alabama life with hilarity; someone you know has shared or showed you a Matt Mitchell joke. In this week's episode, Matt talks about his former days of parodying the Daily Mountain Eagle, his wisdom on when a joke is funny enough, the idea of ghosts, and what's done up real good for him.

Scaefer Llana | Singer and Songwriter

For the second episode of the second season, it's musician Schaefer Llana. If her name sounds familiar, perhaps it's because she was featured on the Drive-by Truckers' album 'Welcome to Club XIII.' But Schaefer is an excellent musician on her own. Watch and hear her discuss ideas for songs, learning about engineering at Dial Back Sound, her work with Jimbo Mathus, which piece of art says something about her, and what's done up real good.
