EP. 10 - Kobe Bryant Pt. 1

In the new season's first episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing my long-time friend Christopher Gyorgyovich. For 15-plus years, he's been releasing music under Roman Candles and self-publishing The Stowaways, a music fanzine focusing primarily on local bands. We talked about touring, songwriting, publishing a book, and his latest record, "The Daily Reminder of My Failed Folk Career."  This interview was recorded on October 8th, 2023, and contained all original music by ROMAN CANDLES.
