The Podcast
Two guys, two mics, too much time on their hands. Join musicians Cory King (Springfield, MO) and Jurd Ratley (Long Beach, CA) for a podcast that’s like a public access TV show, but with less nudity and more existential dread.
About Cory King:
Cory King is a musician from Springfield, Missouri, which is a real place. He once wrote a song so catchy that it got stuck in his own head for six weeks. He had to go to a hypnotherapist to get it out, and now he can’t remember how to play the guitar. True story. He also claims to have seen a UFO, but it was probably just a frisbee. Or a really ambitious pigeon.
About Jurd Ratley:
Jurd Ratley is a musician and “philosopher” (his words, not ours) from Long Beach, California. He believes that the meaning of life can be found in the patterns of seafoam. He also believes that socks are a tool of the government. We’re not really sure what he means by that, but he seems very passionate about it. He once spent an entire summer trying to teach a squirrel how to play the ukulele. The squirrel ran away.
Each week, they’ll attempt to interview local artists, musicians, poets, wrestlers, and other “interesting” individuals who probably wandered into the recording studio by mistake. Expect awkward silences, tangents, and the kind of “comedy” that makes you question your life choices.
