Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores the intersections of music and literature, community building, and the creative process with episodes like Bear Vs. Shark examining the unique soundscapes and community influences in the band’s performances, and other episodes focusing on innovative ways artists interact with their environments.
Spare Notes is a music-based podcast featuring conversations with indie musicians that explore the ins and outs of the internal, artistic process. Hosted by music journalist Jonah Evans, each week sees new artists join the conversation to discuss topics ranging from artistic influences to the role mental health plays in art and music.
This segment is called Three Questions. I’ve prepared only three questions for this interview. At least one question is about the artist’s current project, and the other two are typically about ideas related to their artistry as a whole.
In this episode, I interviewed Sumner Bright of The Clearwater Swimmers. Their EP, Seasons, recently came out. The EP was originally named Radio Flyer, which we get into. We also cover the band’s origin story, growth through communication with band members, and the power of seeing Alex G Live.
