Episode 2: "Downside Up" (w/ Naomi Slack)

Spooky Pre-Reebot Episode From The Past: Thom & Naomi Talk About Thanksgiving

A leftover from the 2015-2016 run of the Outtakes Podcast, a more rigidly structured, concept-driven show which lasted only 6 episodes. [Old Description]: Thom and occasional co-host Naomi Slack dive into a very special "outtake"- the history of our friendship! We take a look at some very specific messages over our Facebook chats dating from late 2013 to 2014, and talk about friendship, relationships, Thanksgiving and (in a real turn of events) the tragic terror attacks in Paris and the nation of France's noble response to it all. Enjoy, and have a lovely Thanksgiving!

Episode 2: "Downside Up" (w/ Naomi Slack)

In the second (and more technically proficient) episode of the podcast, Thom interviews his best friend without a Y chromosome (and former sort-of boss)Naomi Slack. They talk about "Downside Up," a poem of Naomi's from virtually the same time period as "Dichotomy" (the piece from last episode): late 2010. This leads to a discussion of art, personal experience vs. abstracted storytelling, gender, relationships and hip-hop. Enjoy!

Episode 1: "Dichotomy" (w/ Jack Maes)

WARNING: Explicit Language, Sexually Explicit Dialogue In the inaugural episode, Thom and guest/occasional co-host Jack Maes review "Dichotomy," a dramatic indie rock song Thom wrote at 16. We discuss the meaning and background of the track, and then proceed on to the finer things: Billy Idol, Halloween movies, and Dr. Seuss.
