Are We Okay?

Singer-songwriter Jon Bartel (The Creston Line, American Dirt) swings by the podcast to talk about soft-hearted nihilism, keeping all of his old toys, his parents' biannual family cassette recording night, paring down his family's dishes, the KonMari Method, the Fender Rhodes-shaped hole in his heart, the history of a guitar, his Dwimmerlaik settings, his favorite bathroom graffiti, subjecting his family to pedal steel at midnight, going to his first dance, grading 600 English papers, building a tomahawk throwing range, falling over and over, letting his kids watch Bee Movie, gun safety, having a low battery in his fire alarm, Primitive Radio Gods, eternity-minded parents, the Lego set he was willing to go to hell for, and Richard Nixon's chair.    Find him online at: http://www.thecrestonline.com/
