    Episode 33: Weakened Friends

    Indie rock band Weakened Friends join us to discuss their powerful album Feels Like Hell. The band is tighter than ever, and that's due in large part to lead singer Sonia Sturino coming out as non-binary and feeling more confident in their voice. Sturino and bassist(and partner) Annie Hand check in to talk about what an indie rock band is doing on a country podcast, approaches to songwriting and recording, and our millennial skin care routines. Subscribe or sign up to hear more about the pair's approach to astrology, bad habits, and touring. (Check Weakened Friends' tour dates here.) Songs 4:08 – "Bargain Bin" (excerpt) – Weakened Friends 5:03 – "Tough Luck (Bleed Me Out)" – Weakened Friends 24:27 – "Not For Nothing" – Weakened Friends 28:20 – "Torn" – Weakened Friends 46:26 – "Pancho and Lefty" – Paisley Fields ft.

    Episode 29: Angie K

    Angie K and I scooch up to our mics to discuss her new self-titled EP. (Sorry for the horrendous audio quality on my end – I went out and got a better mic right after this interview.) We talk about Angie's incredible year: she got engaged, she's played the Grand Ole Opry twice, and Angie K was absolutely released on her terms. There's also stories of awkward teenage dating and talent shows – and she taught me about this freaky zodiac thing called Human Design. Song List Angie K – "Red Dirt on Mars" (1:24) Angie K – "You And I" (14:47) Angie K – "I'm Going Under" (17:26) Angie K – "Games" (37:57) Fancy Hagood – "American Spirit" (51:34) Angie K – "Stay" (54:36) Say up-to-date with Rainbow Rodeo as a free or paid subscriber right here!

    Episode 28: Girl In a Hurry - The Shelly Bush Story

    We're 58% of the way to our fundraising goal! Join us over at Rainbow Rodeo for exclusive podcasts, art, zines -- and a mixtape of new and unreleased queer country music! Ellen Angelico is one of my favorite people in Nashville – hands-down. They own the stage when they're absolutely shredding on guitar for artists like Brandy Clark and Cam. But everyone gets their start somewhere, and for Ellen that was on Nashville's Broadway in their legendary honky-tonks, led by a singer who was equally legendary: Shelly Bush. In Ellen's six-part series Girl in a Hurry, we learn more about Shelly, but also about the ecosystem that makes country music run: for every star headlining a stadium tour, there are hundreds of working-class musicians putting in the hours and the miles in the dreams of getting there. This is Shelly Bush's story. Search for Girl in a Hurry to listen to the of the series! To learn more about how the podcast was made, you can read my interview with Ellen.

    Episode 27: Voices of Trans Strength -- Mya Byrne, Paisley Fields, Abigail Lucas, Flamy Grant, Adrian Blake Enscoe, She Returns From War

    Howdy, cowpokes. I hope you're hanging in there. This episode is a little bit different.

We hear from Mya Byrne, Paisley Fields, Abigail Lucas, Flamy Grant, Adrian Blake Enscoe, She Returns From War. Subscribe to No Depression to read the full article in the Spring 2025 issue.

    Episode 26: Rett Madison

    A Note on Audio: Sorry that I sound so weird; I sat way too far away from my mic for this one. But Rett really does talk that fast -- faster than me! So much for the stereotype about fast-talking New Yorkers! It's hard enough to be in your 20s, but Rett Madison had to do it all without her mom. One More For Jackie is the deluxe re-issue of Madison's debut album last year, this time with a few extra songs but the same core of love, grief, and dedication to her mother, who died by suicide in 2019. In our interview, we discuss making the album, the making-of documentary that came with it, Madison's musical roots, and taking a stand in the upcoming Trump regime. 3:09 -- "One For Jackie" (Rett Madison) 18:52 -- "Skydiving" (Rett Madison) 29:53 -- "Deep Feeler" (Liv Greene) 33:32 -- "Apocalyptic Folk Song" (Rett Madison) Pre-order Rainbow Rodeo issue 5 here!
