    #10- "Super Glue Really Isn't That Super:" A Raw and Unedited Collection of Memories from Me, Emo Al

    In the final episode of season one, I decided to sit down and record a bunch of stories from myself. I delve into how I got into the music scene and what music means to me. I ramble on, sharing a collection of stories from my past and up to working with Out of Context Productions in Chicago. Unlike previous episodes, I have less of a topic/theme or guest, I wanted to really introduce myself to the listeners. I hope you enjoy! Follow me on Twitter: @EmoAlTuneTalks

    #7- The Power of Music and How It Brings People Together: A Reflection of Our Music Experiences and How It Impacts Mental Health

    In this episode, I sit down with my two friends, Anthony and Spence to discuss how music brings people together. We also discuss how it impacts our mental health. This episode is really what happens when 3 friends sit down together to record a podcast. It's a bit chaotic, haha! There are lots of laughs though. I I think the chaos reflects how real conversations between a group of people unfold- it's authentic. Sit back and enjoy the ride on this one!
