(*both laugh*) officially kicked off in April 2020. Since we were all going to be in lockdown for the foreseeable future, we wanted to take some time to focus on bands who'd had plans cut short due to the ever-changing world. As quarantine continued, our focus shifted to catching up with people that were doing fun and inspiring things to stay connected - and busy - during lockdown. New music, new books, new podcasts, and myriad other projects. We initially started doing interviews over Instagram Live because it added an interesting, unpredictable component, but sometimes, predictability is actually a good thing, so we've switched to Zoom. However, that's allowed us to capture the audio too and upload them here. Behold...the (*both laugh*) Quarantine Chats podcast.

Welcome back, (*both laugh*) fans! We took a little hiatus there for a few but we're back in action.
For episode 45, we caught up with Sonia Sturino of the kick ass trio known as Weakened Friends. They're due to put out their sophomore full-length, "Quitter," on November 19th and let me tell you...it's a great one! We talked an awful lot about the band pushing themselves on this record (which was produced by the band's bass player, Annie Hoffman, and engineered by Hoffman and their drummer, Adam Hand) in ways that they hadn't quite before. We also talked about being on tour in March 2020 as the world was shutting down, and getting back out on the road last month in the, I guess we're calling it, "new normal." Oh, and we definitely talked about The Tragically Hip (a band I've quite honestly never knowingly heard) and Our Lady Peace (a band that I've definitely heard and enjoyed for years) and about how cool a record label Don Giovanni is and lots more stuff as well (like our mutual pal Adam Parshall, who is an amazing concert photographer...hi Adam!).
This was a lot of fun and everyone should check out "Quitter" ASAP and go catch Weakened Friends on the road with The Beths early next year!
