How Did Jamie Loftus Get Here?
Jamie Loftus is a writer, actor, comic, cartoonist, podcaster, and probably has about 3500 other jobs that we never covered on this episode because, well, there is only so much time in the day. In this episode we discussed her early playwriting days, stand-up comedy, the difference between eating dog food and condensed cream of mushroom soup, and, since this is Spinning Platters, we even talked about music!
She's taking her podcast, The Bechdel Cast, on the road! Tickets and tour dates are here, and it all kicks off with a visit to SF Sketchfest on February 1st at 7:30! You can also pick up Loftus' amazing book, Raw Dog, here. And, of course, you can find all other things Loftus here! Oh, and this is where you can enjoy the CVS Bangerz playlist!

How Did Dulce Sloan Get Here?
We are trying something new with this episode. I am NOT doing any preroll. No theme song. No "warm open." Let me know what you think?
Dulce Sloan is best known for being a correspondent on The Daily Show, and often killing it in that role. We chatted about her move from theater to stand up, the folks that inspired you along the way, and, of course, The Daily Show and her upcoming book, Hello Friends! Stories Of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs, coming your way February 6th (Preorder Here!)
Sloan is in SF this weekend to play a slew of SF Sketchfest events, including a headline set at Brava Theater on Saturday, January 20th at 9:30pm. Her full schedule can be found here.

How Did Bethany Cosentino Get Here?
You may know the name Bethany Cosentino as 1/2 of the popular LA duo Best Coast. After nearly 15 years of plugging away, they decided it was time to take a break. In the meantime, Cosentino has recorded a brilliant solo album on par with the best of Linda Rondstadt and Jenny Lewis. We had a lovely opportunity to chat with Bethany about her time in Best Coast and her noise band Pocahaunted. We talked about having a famous cat, about always being in the eye of the indie rock press, and about what she's doing now.
Bethany Cosentino's debut solo album, Natural Disaster, is in stores and online on Friday, July 28th, and can be preordered / presaved here.

How Did Rakel Mjöll of Dream Wife Get Here?
Rakel Mjöll is the lead singer of UK punk band Dream Wife. This conversation was witty and full of positive, inspirational energy. Also, nothing has made me want to get drenched in shared sweat at a rock show more than this chat. Dream Wife's third full length, Social Lubrication, is available to preorder here, and is in stores June 9th. UK Fans (or those willing to pay more for shipping than the cost of the album) can get one of the few, remaining, extra-creepy gel-sleeve editions of the album here. (UK Fans coming to the US after this ships and looking for a present for me? This is a good option.)
Tour Dates can be found here, and, once again, I'd love to dance with you at Bottom Of The Hill on the 20th of September!

How Did Louise Post Get Here?
Louise Post is the co-leader of Chicago rock icons Veruca Salt, an important distinction that she does, indeed, correct me on in this episode. We spoke about her influences, her process, and her time in both Veruca Salt and solo. Her debut solo album, Sleepwalker, is out today and is available to purchase here or at your local record store. North American tour starts June 12th in Vancouver, and VIP Packages are available here!
