Listen now
Description
It's a triple header, with John Angus MacDonald from The Trews talking about the early days of the band, setting out on the road, and what it's like these days travelling as a musician in a post pandemic kind of world.  Jimmy Diresta is the MAN! Currently seen on NETFLIX' Making Fun, Jimmy is an inventor, fabricator, businessman and raconteur, and we had a heck of a time talking about his days in the toy business, making a television show, and working with Nick Offerman. Our first doctor, and our first Swede, Dr. Samuel West is the curator of the globe spanning Museum of Failure...a celebration of losing, which of course, if you keep trying, leads to winning. A charming fellow, we have a good time making fun of famous automotive failures, the Delorean, and the Edsel. www.thetrewsmusic.com www.jimmydiresta.com www.museumoffailure.com Check us out at https://linktr.ee/autobiographypodcast Recorded and produced at Communal Creative Studios in Red Deer, Alberta.
