Well despite my best efforts to get this episode out ahead of the holidays, I failed you dear listener—but believe me when I say the wait was worth it. On this episode I’m sitting down with two time LOCAL BOPS alumnus, the venerable merry prankster himself JW Francis to recap what was a momentous twelves months and change for him — releasing two records, 2020’s WE SHARE A SIMILAR JOY and 2021’s WANDERKID, his jet setting across the Atlantic, as well an extended odyssey he took upon America’s very own Appalachian Trail.
Weirdly enough, this interview is also characterized by its own kind of wandering quality—we chatted about JW’s music, of course, but we also took the scenic route to chat about his time as an NYC tour guide, stories from the trail, and other miscellany. And of course our guest was kind enough to regale us with a couple acoustic versions of his tunes, including two unreleased at the time of recording — enjoy.
