First episode is really good, and I'm not even a drummer. Just a great interview and conversation (w good audio quality).

PRF member DFTR launches a podcast about anxiety and depression among musicians and artists. Saw it on Twitter. Here.

Awesome, had seen that pop up and bookmarked it to come back to it, but didn't realise it was from DFTR.

Nice talk!Ringo, you have a perfect, pleasant radio voice.I would love to hear David Pajo speak if he were interested. I once bugged Paul Gilmartin about trying to get him on the Mental Illness Happy Hour. I also suggested trying to talk to Benga, a dubstep producer who developed serious mental health issues and outed himself, went public.https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/oct/02/dubstep-dj-producer-benga-mental-illnessWould be interesting to talk to such folks too, maybe cross over some.

Bump. Really enjoyed the first episode. Cregger seems like an incredibly insightful guy.Patrick does a great job of not talking all over the guest, which is great.On board for more. Not crap so far.

I always wished they'd have more musicians on Mental Illness Happy Hour. I guess this solves it! Looking forward to more episodes.

Oh, hai guys.I didn't want to spam the board with my new thing! I didn't even know this thread was up until I looked at my "incoming links" just now! Thanks for the kind words! Did you know that today I published an interview with FM Kerble?https://www.patreon.com/posts/crash-and-ride-4-25759801offal wrote:Patrick does a great job of not talking all over the guest, which is great.Anyone who knows me in meatspace knows that this is something I have to concentrate on NOT DOING. I'm glad it's working!I'd LOVE to talk to Dave Pajo. Holy cow, that would be amazing. I'm having pretty good luck with sound quality on these skype interviews. I'll reach out!Jimmy Spako, I will also reach out to Benga! So far I've had great luck in my circle of musicians and friends of friends. Benga would be the first person I've ever approached who I'd never met. I'll let you guys know how it goes.Thanks for your support! Don't be shy about constructive criticism. The better this thing is, the better my chances are of reaching someone who is in crisis. I tell all the guests: Be honest. Be complete. Don't protect people who abused or neglected you, because telling the truth could save someone's life.Loud guitars save lives!

The latest episode is up, episode 5 is where I interview one of my oldest friends, and we get into some heavy stuff that I didn't even know he went through. https://www.patreon.com/posts/crash-and-ride-5-25919827Episode 6 is an interview with Noelle Shuck from the punk band SheHeHe. She's great. Very funny. After Episode 5, it was a nice break from the dark stuff. It will be available on Sunday morning at 12:01AM. Hangover listening! I am going to talk to Thor Harris in the next few weeks, and today Erika from Motherfucker said she might want to sit for an interview. I'm stoked. Thanks for listening!
