    CASSINGLES: JON SNODGRASS (ARMCHAIR MARTIAN / DRAG THE RIVER) - AN ODE TO THE NUMBERS

    Episode 10: An Ode to the Numbers | Jon Snodgrass (Armchair Martian) What if the numbers in our lives tell the story long before we realize it? In Episode 10 of CASSINGLES, Chris Margolin and Courtney Dawn welcome Jon Snodgrass (Armchair Martian, Drag the River, Scorpios) for a conversation about life on the road, decades in punk rock, songwriting, friendship, and finding meaning in the moments most people overlook. For Courtney's lesson, we explore how numbers become powerful storytelling tools—dates, ages, addresses, times, statistics, and small details that quietly shape our memories and our writing. Honest, funny, reflective, and deeply human, Jon reminds us that the best songs—and the best stories—often begin with the smallest details. The songs that raised us. The lessons that stayed.
