Episode 102: Single Play

Single Play with Popdose founder and Mayor of the Humanities, Jeff Giles

In episode 102 of Planet LP, host Ted Asregadoo is joined by Popdose founder Jeff Giles for a special Single Play episode.

Get ready to expand your playlist and discover hidden gems from legendary artists like The Clash and concept project, Largo -- alongside impressive new music from As For The Future and Cold Specks. But this episode is more than just a "you should listen to this song" episode. Jeff and Ted jump into the deep end of the cultural pool to talk about the challenges of discovering new music in an era when we're offered an endless buffet of musical delights for very little money and effort. The result of all this abundance is a cheapening of the arts to the point where one artist featured (Cold Specks) is currently unhoused.

Speaking of the arts, Jeff Giles has a new novel! Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane published by Humorist Books is the story of a man who spent his life debunking the supernatural and magic only to be killed by a falling piano -- and discover, much to his annoyance, that he is a ghost.
