Hoytus Interruptus
Jeff Hoyt sees stories everywhere he looks. They unfurl from the island in the upper left-hand corner of the lower 48 that Jeff calls home. For years, he's told his stories in a radio show segment called "Hoytus Interruptus." The podcast version will drop every Tuesday. Five minutes per episode. After season one, Jeff hopes to turn to his listeners for a chance to "elevate" their own tales.

Episode 15
Chris Ballew's new solo record, "I Am Not Me," flies you deep inside an evolving creative arc for one of music's most interesting players. You'll hear elements of Chris' Presidents of the United States of America days coming through along with notes that remind you that he's made nearly 20 records for kids as Caspar Babypants.
The totality of it is a groovy, abstract trip inside a record that begs to be your traveling companion: in your car, on a walk, in the kitchen or on the couch.
I commandeered the radio for an hour to sit down with Chris for an extended Hoytus Interruption. We play a few tracks and talk about the record and what it was like to create during the height of the pandemic.
