This month, Garret heads out the farm--a QUAKER farm, in fact--to meet up with farmer, activist, counselor, and performance artist Scot Miller, to talk about The Sandhill Project--its beginnings, mission, core values, and how it operates--, his coming to the Quaker faith, and his friendship and experiences performing with trashpunk legends LOSER CANDY. On top of all that, Scot shows Garret one of the biggest cow turds he has ever laid eyes on :O

Record Store Day may have officially come and gone, but it's ALWAYS Record Store Day at Dodds Record Shop! Garret chats with its owner, Reverend Charles Preston Smith, about his personal history in music - from his obsession with 80's metal to the founding of the PotatoeBabies -, the various transitions and stages of the shop itself, including it's pre-World War II days to the shop and museum it is today, what he looks for in records and memorabilia, and Garret shows off his amazing negotiation skills by haggling with the good Reverend over the price of a Justin Bieber alarm clock!

NOTE: Because nothing can ever be perfect, there is a slight buzz in the background of the recording. I have tried my best to fix this. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with all the cursed Neil Diamond albums that inhabit the shop - Love, Garret
