Ep 104 - An Interview with Blake Farmer

Patrick and Nathaniel open with a chaotic cold open, then bring in Blake Farmer — Nashville native, host of NPR’s This Is Nashville, and longtime journalist. They swap stories about East Nashville, Blake growing up on Russell Street, and his early band days...including randomly blowing up in the Philippines. The convo moves into what radio hosting is really like vs. field reporting, plus what people often get wrong about Blake — he’s way less extroverted than he sounds. They get into adult friendships, music influences like Dawes, and close by talking about what makes a good life and why we all keep old t-shirts like they’re tiny time capsules.
