KCB Boiler Room Podcast
From the After Hours to the Breakfast Clubs, host Kevin Cradock, along with his In-House Storyteller Corey Nuffer, resurrect the Boiler Room events with a hard listen to the recordings of the events. From there we pick key moments we wish we could have asked guests to say more. We’ll also record Boiler Room-adjacent episodes featuring our own team, our mill shop, and other germane content.

Editor in Chief of New England Home magazine, Jenna Talbott, stopped by the Boiler Room for a conversation and to sign our copies of It’s Lonely in the Modern World: The Essential Guide to Form, Function and Ennui, a book she co-authored with writer Molly Jane Quinn. Published in 2011, their book expanded on their now infamous Tumblr, Unhappy Hipsters, that struck such a nerve that within hours of the first post The New York Times took notice and made it viral. Quickly, they had a book deal on their hands. And this all started with them making up their own “imagined and irreverent” captions to the gorgeous photos in Dwell magazine.
We wanted to know more about this amazing story but to also hear what Jenna had to say about Boston’s design scene and then some. Her Mixtape Story quickly morphed into a story of Boston’s music scene from the 80s to the aughts, with Kevin giving special mention to his times on stage playing at The Rat and after hours at The House of Borax and that one time he rode his scooter over the Tobin Bridge.
