Free Podcasts Wednesday

Any subscriber can download these three episodes for 24 hours

Before you get going on our Monday journey, you’re going to want to follow me on TikTok, if you happen to be there. 

It’s true. Early on Wednesday morning West Coast Sojourn will open up access to three fascinating Zoom Q&As:

RJ Smith: LA’s chronicler of American pop —Chuck Berry, James Brown, Robert Frank—delivers lots of great thoughts on this moment in music—from his new home of Nashville, Tennessee.

Ati (Donoso) Sundhari: In an episode that features a late twist, my Portland yoga teacher talks to me from a Mexican Magic Town. Ati talked me into doing the city’s famous naked bike ride.

Ati Sundhari

Don Terrell—The Houston graphic artist and host of The Color of Motion podcast discusses via Zoom his professional life and growing up with me in Sandusky, Ohio. 

The Echo Park part is true, too. Feel free to congratulate me.

It’s at this point that I remind everyone that this Substack is independent journalism in a time when that’s desperately needed. You are always welcome to tip your journo—@Donnell-Alexander on Venmo—whenever you find yourself illuminated or entertained or any other sort of find that you find here.

Again, tap into the free content on 5 am Wednesday morning, PST. Tell that friend who’s into country music or The World Naked Bike Ride or Texas-style Black artist life that we have a podcast for them.
