23 Jul 08 MikeyPod124 | Paul Doucette of The Break and Repair Method | 347-482-1360

I got to chat with Paul Doucette (Matchbox Twenty) in the bluhammock music office this afternoon about his new project The Break and Repair Method. Here lies our conversation, along with a few tracks off the album which won’t be available till Sept 16th.

Music:
You Won’t Be Able To Be Sad
This City (Is Bound To Do Us In)
Life Gets Beautful

Many thanks to Ralph Cutler and Christina Duren from Ariel Publicity for setting everything up for me!

In other news, I have decided to make MikeyPod a weekly music only podcast. In the next month or so I will be setting up another podcast feed for everything else. This last year or so in NYC has been such a learning time for me, and a struggle in so many ways, but at last I am feeling like I am where I want to be– loving the city and ready to get my activist self moving again. It always felt so awkward to try to cover both passions in one place: music and social justice. Many times the two intersect, of course, but it makes more sense to me to branch out in this way. Stay Tuned!

p.s. Don’t forget about Meat Free Radio for all of your vegan and vegetarian needs.

14 May 08 MikeyPod122 | Filmmaker Jamie Moffett

Jamie Moffett joins me today to discuss his film The Ordinary Radicals.

About the film:

In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do â€œsmall things with great love,â€ and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surrounding this 2000 year old faith. The Ordinary Radicals is set against thie modern American political and social backdrop of the next Great Awakening. Traveling across the United States on a tour to promote the book Jesus for President, Shane Claiborne and a rag-tag group of â€œordinary radicalsâ€ interpret Biblical history and its correlation with the current state of American politics. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero’s Veganomicon cookboook has been this newbie/aspiring Vegan’s best friend since it hit my mailbox about a month ago. Isa Chandra Moskowiz was kind enough to take time out of her busy s’more eating to talk a bit about her philosophy and the inspiration behind what many consider the vegan Joy of Cooking.

24 Dec 07 MikeyPod113 | Kurt Morrow from Koinonia Partners in GA | 206-202-4178

Kurt was my roommate for most of my time at Koinonia. After our four month internship together he decided to become a full time member of the community while I moved on to New York. It thought it would be fun to get an update from him and also talk about the SOA vigil.

Issa/Jane Siberry’s music can be found at Sheeba Records.
Her MySpace is here.
