This week I’m on two podcasts back to back, one as a guest on Them Jeans’s Tall Tales and then my own Small Talk, with New York Times music writer Jon Caramanica and frequent guest MERO.

TALL TALES WITH THEM JEANS

“I travel to New York and record a podcast high atop time square with DJ, producer, label owner, party thrower, and podcaster DJ Ayres.  We chat about NY, editing movies, the creative process, raising kids, the Polish people, sex, BJ’s, and so much more.”

Show notes:  Read the rest of this entry »

“Small Talk is dj Ayres Haxton bullshitting with all manner of interesting people.  In the inaugural episode, Jason Stewart aka Them Jeans aka King of Podcasts, sets it off.  Conversation wanders from Aziz Ansari to heroin overdose to Jason giving Ayres a pep talk on running a successful pod, garnered from his own show, Tall Tales.”
