Steve Ellis and Carl Gratiot discover new music by sharing a record with one another each week. Then they talk about their reactions. Maybe at some point they'll talk about other forms of art, too. But not yet.

Episode 30: Season One Finale
This episode is all about gratitude. Also BDE. Sarah joins us to discuss a recent BDE moment she had at work. Then we all share our albums of the year with the group. Some of them were from 2018, others, COUGH, Sarah's, were from like 1971.
Next, we workshop our ideas for what Okay Time should look like in Season Two. Lots of ideas are brewing.
Note: We'll be taking something like 6 or 7 or 8 weeks off as we try to figure that all out.
We are immensely grateful to all of you who have listened thus far, and/or shared your feedback with us. We hope this is still fun for you, and we'll see you soon! - Carl

Episode 29: Abducted In Plain Sight & Made Out Of Babies
We're so near the end, aren't we? Ahem, of Season One of this podcast I mean. This week Steve talks about the very troubling documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight. I then chat about Made Out Of Babies's 2008 album, "The Ruiner." We also briefly touch on ghouls and what we should do in Season Two. Thanks for listening! - Carl

Episode 28: Octavia Butler & Pinc Louds
How lit is your Linkedin profile? This week Carl and I brainstorm ways to make ourselves more marketable on the internet via everyone's favorite networking site. Once that's out of the way we discuss the assignments Sarah gave us, Octavia Butler's "Bloodchild" and Pinc Louds 2017 EP. If you ask me, it's a freaking Okay Time. -Steve

Episode 27: Big Bear (Boston, MA) & Pedro The Lion
Hello all. Steve took a little holiday in the Bay Area so Sarah and I had a little chat in our kitchen/basement about the following. Big Bear’s (the band from Boston, not the California lake mountain community) unnamed first LP, and Pedro the Lion’s recent “Phoenix.” Also, Sarah tells us all about her obsession with all (most) things Sweden. Won’t you listen? Thank you! - Carl

Episode 26: Forth Wanderers & Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sorry this wasn't live on Monday everyone. I was laid the fuck off from my job and had to take a few days to ponder my next move. I found out that I have some "relevant skills" so I am confident I will find another job soon. Anyhow, Stevie and I chatted about Forth Wanderers' "self-titled," and Alexander "they call him Skip" Spence's "Oar." Hope you enjoy, and please follow the podcast on Instagram! Thanks! - Carl

Greetings from West Philadelphia. This week Carl and I talk about Melvin Davis' Detroit Soul Ambassador and Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band's Lick My Decals Off, Baby. Other topics include: Magic the Gathering, the Crossfire commercials from the 90s and non sequitur wisdom from Twitter. It's official, we had an Okay Time and so can you.
