Sorry for the delay! This episode is extra long and extra epic! I
spoke with Jem Moloney, the incredibly talented drummer from the
Australian band Dead. They've collaborated with members of Harvey
Milk and the Melvins- a truly crushing, heavy band. Jem is also one
half of the label We Empty Rooms Records in AUS, and works for a
suicide prevention charity called HALT. They focus on the
well-being of working class men and women who do tradeswork. (We
really should start something like that here.)
This took an extra couple of days to get out because I've been
hiding out in a different city and Jem wanted some time to have a
listen to the episode, all that life stuff got in the way.
So instead of breaking this up into two episodes, here's the whole
thing! Listen at your leisure!
