Jeff Martin of Idaho, My Most Listened to Band

This was a special one for me, as Idaho was my Most Listened to Band of 2025, and I've been a fan of Jeff's music for years. A wildly underrated band that's starting to get some of their much deserved recognition in the 2020s after forming in 1992. We talk LA, working professionally creating background music for film, and the magic of imperfect recordings. Check out Idaho where ever you get music and @idahoband on Instagram.

Uncslop Ep. 1: Chanch talks about Pete and Pete, Conspiracy Theories and China

So new thing for the Podcast. The regular Hey Smiling Strange interview podcasts will be up on Wednesdays from now on, but I'm adding a second podcast during the week. Early access will be on Youtube as a video podcast, then monday as the audio version. These podcast will be a bit more experimental until I find a format that works for them. I like trying things out, and for this one I just went on a walk and talked to my brother, Evan (@perchanches on Twitter). So here it is, Uncslop ep. 1! Kyle (Smiling Strange) and Evan (Chanch, brother) talk about Pete and Pete, a deep dive into the fascinating world of conspiracy theories and the evolving perception of China in global politics! In this episode of the Hey Smiling Strange podcast, we explore how the internet has transformed our understanding of China, the impact of COVID-19 on global perspectives, and the importance of infrastructure in shaping societies.

Kenny Boothby of Little Kid

Did you guys know my most listened to song on Spotify, all time, is Bastard by Little Kid? I've been looking forward to this conversation for a long time, Little Kid has been one of my favorite bands for a while now but remain mostly unknown. Please go check out any of their albums, my favorite is probably Flowers which has been on rotation for years in my house. Kenny talks about the the Toronto music scene, creating diy and lofi music, and his relationship to Christianity changing over the years.
