Indie Musicians Jen And Mike Farley

I thought we’d take a short break from politics, and instead talk with two of the most talented musicians I know: the recording duo of Jen Farley from Gin Chocolate & Bottle Rockets and Mike Farley from the Mike Farley Band. Mike is also a music publicist who’s introduced me to so many of the indie bands I play on the show. Today we’ll get to know the Farleys and, better yet, they’ll perform a few songs for us, too.

Brian Karem vs Donald Trump

The great Brian Karem, White House reporter for Playboy Magazine, returns to the show. On Tuesday, Trump referred to Brian as “nothing but trouble,” “a showboat,” and "a loudmouth," but the best part of the exchange was when Brian clearly got under Trump’s make-up slathered skin, to the point of nearly ending the entire press briefing prematurely. So today we’ll ask Brian about everything that went down, and a whole lot more. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy...
