Wilco Will Love You Podcast Meredith Hobbs Coons & Mary MacLane Mellas

The Mares got to chat with Jeff Knurek, the cartoonist responsible for the artwork in The Jumble (which can be found in most newspapers) as well as all the Tweedy Show doodles, including the ones on the shirts the family sold to raise funds for charity. Additionally, he has worked as a toy inventor, inventing Spikeball in the process, and he plays music as well. Listen to hear the many interesting ways his life has intersected with the Tweedys', too.

Meredith and Mary got to chat with Jacob Ewald of the band Slaughter Beach, Dog (formerly of Modern Baseball). He's a huge Wilco fan, and he has a new album out called Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling.

The Mares continue their conversation with Mr. Patrick Sansone. This time, they chat photography, music production, and Baroque Down Palace (his radio show). Please listen to the end, because he concludes with an amazing story.

Friends, we (the Mares) are delighted to share with you Part 1 of our conversation with Patrick Sansone. You may know him as a versatile, virtuosic member of Wilco, but he is also an amazing photographer with multiple music projects ever in the works - including The Autumn Defense with fellow Wilco member John Stirratt.

The Mares IMeredith and Mary) had a friendly chat with audio power couple Annlie Huang (film/television audio engineer) and Devin Kerr (mix/mastering engineer, plug-in developer, and co-founder of Goodhertz).

In their least formal episode yet, conversational and edited with a light hand, Mary and Meredith yack it up with longtime pal Morgan Enos (journalist at Grammy.com, Talkhouse, TIDAL Magazine, LondonJazz etc.) about Wilco's latest album and Morgan's experiences with the band.
