Hey all...

Steve was nice enough to be a guest on my public radio program, The Sound of Young America, which we taped live at the Second City in Chicago on Halloween. I had planned to interview Steve for about 25 minutes, but we ended up talking for more like 40. As I'm sure you all know, he's a really interesting and funny guy.

Anyway, I had to cut a good bit out of the radio version for time reasons, but I left it all in for the podcast version of the show.

Here's the podcast, with a streaming player and download link.

If you'd prefer to use iTunes to get it (free), use this link.

It was a very wide-ranging discussion. Some of it will be no news to you all, but some if it might be, and I think you'll find it very interesting. Let me know what you think!

It's 20 seconds long, I'm sure you can handle it.

Fuck that! If you want something done right, do it yourself! Plus, who needs all that free time that one would acquire by having someone do your shit work?

But for serious, things like this are what make your show, and non-mainstream art/entertainment in general, amazing to be a part of! keep it up. Not just Jesse, everyone!
