The Calculated Discomfort Podcast

About the podcast

The Calculated Discomfort Podcast is a new show where I use me and my friends’ music as a jumping off point to discuss music’s place in our complicated world. The questions underlying the show are ‘how does the way we live our lives affect the way we make music?’ and ‘How does the music we make and consume affect the way we live our lives?’

I frequently record live sessions just for this show, so you’ll get fresh tracks in addition to in-depth discussions about my past work.

I also do a live stream every week on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch. Usually I’m joined by exciting musical guests. Other times I just drum and talk about the world.
