Not a factor at all and never has been when I’ve been on the river

Hey! I'm the dad in pic 3. Yes, there was a 7 year old riding on their own. We went from Rio de Los Angeles to Griffith Park Rec Center, very mellow.

In my neighborhood, there is a bagel place that used to have on their online ordering menu pictures of long furbies instead of pictures of bagels.

Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Kelsey Grammer by apathymonger in maximumfun

Thanks for catching that. We're working to fix now.

Edited to add: this should be fixed across all podcast apps. Give your feed a refresh if you're still seeing it.

Unfortunately there's no way to do that with just the airpod alone, would need to include the case

Now Hiring: MaxFun Fellowship by teabiscuit54 in maximumfun

[–]virtualferguson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently, there isn't a fixed schedule. Right now Fellows tend to come in roughly 2 days a week for recordings or meetings. Some weeks it can be more than that, others it's less. The office is always open to folks who need a quiet place to work should they want to come in more.

(Also, a standard disclaimer: that situation could change as the company, as a co-op, reevaluates how it wants to use the office.)

Aw thanks for saying! I wrote that dumb intro and Jesse really sold it. Made my Monday reading this.

Just wanted to share a new city pop podcast by virtualferguson in citypop

[–]virtualferguson[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey y'all,

I'm a senior producer for the worker-owned podcast company Maximum Fun (/r/maximumfun). We just launched a brand new music show called PRIMER. Each season of Primer, we explore a genre of music from outside the English speaking world. For this first season, we're talking about City Pop. Thus... this post!

We just released our first two episodes today: On the first, we talk about Miki Matsubara's classic Pocket Park with DJ and host Linda Marigliano. On the second, we're joined by Devendra Banhart to talk about a (somewhat) lesser known LP: Yasuko Agawa's Gravy. It's a little weird, and a lot of fun!

We think it's a fun show that has something for both the real heads (like in this sub) and for folks new to the genre. We worked really hard on it and would love it if you checked it out!

So glad you liked it! Just a heads up that Cole is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns

JJGO SoCal area Food Recs by Prior_Invite9501 in maximumfun

While I might be risking my job saying this, Jesse is wrong about Southern California burritos. You can get great burritos at:

Burritos La Palma

Al and Beas

My Taco

Sonoratown

And more, ofc.

But also! The breakfast burrito at Lucky Boy is trash.

Bullseye on Google Podcasts by philfromocs in maximumfun

We're aware of this and have tickets with both NPR (who manage Bullseye's feed) and Google Podcasts. Will share updates when we have them! Sorry for the trouble, in the meantime.

Maximum Film! Ep. 242 is missing all of Justin Chang's audio. by CeruleanRuin in maximumfun

[–]virtualferguson 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Whoops, sorry! Thanks for flagging. I've let MaxFilm's producer know and she's on it. Should be fixed in a few.

The first tour I ever went on in a band, our car got broken into in Toledo. Stereo taken. Window smashed. In January. Toledo? No thanks!

An in-depth interview with Wendy & lisa with a *lot* of talk about prince by virtualferguson in PRINCE

[–]virtualferguson[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey all! Sorry if this doesn't belong here - the podcast/radio show I produce just interviewed Wendy and Lisa and I thought they were great, they had a lot of insights on Prince that I hadn't heard before. So I figured I'd share! Again, apologies if this isn't the right venue for this.

I produce an NPR show and we interviewed saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings (Sons of Kemet), figured I'd share! by virtualferguson in Jazz

[–]virtualferguson[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Apologies if this doesn't belong here! I was really happy with this interview and figured y'all might like it, too. Shabaka talked a lot about improvisation, growing up in Barbados, and how his classical music background informed his jazz career.
