One of the most exciting things about being on other people’s podcasts for me is adapting to their format. Mine is fairly straightforward- some episode types have their own specific format, but it’s generally a conversation to be had. The more podcasts I’ve been on in the past few years, the more you see the different ways people approach discussing film, and that is a wonderful thing. Starting in 2021, […]

Another year, another performance of Vince Guaraldi’s classic music for the “Charlie Brown” Christmas special from Atlanta-area artist (and dear friend) Jeffrey Bützer and pianist T.T. Mahoney. This year, Bützer decided put on a couple of performances of the newish Atlanta holiday tradition (it’s only in its third year, but it feels like it’s been around longer) at The Earl: one show Friday night, and one the next night in […]
