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 11
This episode marks a return to a style I employed about 15 years ago in the original iteration of Hoytus Interruptus. I call it "lyrical storytelling." The idea is to let the musical under-bed dictate pace and push, even re-writing the story as needed to bend it to the rhythm and feel of the music.
Many thanks to good friend Chris Ballew for letting me poke around inside his "Sampladelic" collection to find just the right grooves for this story about communing with monkeys.
