It is with great joy Lou Crisitello joins Conversations With Dwyer. Lou is a filmmaker and founder of Perpetual Doom which happens to be my favorite independent label. Lou joins me to discuss leaving the corporate world to start the label and production company Perpetual Doom, how the great Kyle Field of Little Wings helped mentor his journey, and the struggles and joys of running a label. We also have a few digressions into music fandom, Elvis, the Beach Boys and much more. This episode was a true joy to records.
