    Ep 68: Live @ On-Air Fest 2026 w/ Maddy Kelly

    Our beloved Maddy Kelly (Let’s Make a Rom-Com) joined us live on stage at On-Air Fest 2026 in Brooklyn, New York. Against all weather odds we made this show happen and Maddy came on to talk about growing up in a suburb overrun with horses, she intentionally tries to doxx herself on stage, and we get really hung up on the word "fealty". Maddy also builds a really cool music store in town called "Clarna’s" that sells tacos, has a podcast studio and you can sign out musical instruments from. "Cool" is a relative term. Thanks to On-Air Fest for having at this year's festival.
