I've been interview people for my whole career, including thirty years as a filmmaker, and 40 years as a radio host. Some weeks you get lucky, and this week I conducted three wonderful interviews with a musician and two authors. The surest sign that an interview has gone well is that when the designated twenty minutes arrives we wonder where the time went. All of these interviews will be broadcast on upcoming shows, but in the meantime, I can recommend searching out this music, and these novels, and immerse yourself in the creativity therein. Matt Riggle is a singer/songwriter, band member and filmmaker. His latest, , is an acoustic side journey from the path of punk and power pop.

Wes Browne follows up the wonderful Hillbilly Hustle with another slice of Southern Noir in They All Fall the Same, and Clay McLeod Chapman, who was recently interviewed by the New York Times, plays out the consequences of believing everything a right-wing news channel offers in his novel Wake Up and Open Your Eyes.
