Presenting American Songcatcher: Bob Wills
In the feed today, we wanted to share a podcast that we think you’re going to love. It’s called American Songcatcher, an educational documentary-style podcast that preserves and connects the cultural heritage of American roots music through stories and song. Hosted by folk musician and musicologist Nicholas Edwards Williams, American Songcatcher weaves stories across the spectrum of Traditional music, to artists who shaped and played integral roles in different forms of Blues, Country, Jazz, Bluegrass, Western, Gospel, Old-Time and the Folk music that is derived from it all. On this episode of American Songcatcher, we’re proud to present the story behind the King of Western Swing, Bob Wills. One of the most influential and iconic bandleaders and musicians of the 1930’s-1950’s, Bob came from a humble life of a poor sharecropping family, and was deeply influenced by old time and breakdown fiddle through his Texas state champion family of fiddlers in his father and uncle. Bob also loved all the turn of the century and 1920’s black music, and this confluence of cultures would help him create the craze that became Western swing, and the details of his journey to get there will surprise you.

Director of Finding Lucinda Joel Fendelman Discusses His Process
<p>In this episode of the podcast, Ismay sits down with 'Finding Lucinda' director Joel Fendelman. They discuss how Joel approached the making of the documentary and concepts like developing the language of a film to build trust with the audience, the artist’s experience of not being where you thought you should be a certain age – including how to constructively confront that – and the idea of trusting others in collaborations. They also talk about how there is overlap in the craft of filmmaking and music-making, including ideas like contrasts and consistency. </p><p>With roots in Miami, Austin, and New York City, Fendelman has written, produced, and directed a number of award-winning narrative and documentary films. An award-winning filmmaker, he is dedicated to telling stories that reveal the underlying connections between us all. His documentary 'Man on Fire' received an IDA Documentary Award and premiered nationally on PBS’s Independent Lens (2018–19 season). He went on to direct 'North Putnam,' which won the Indiana Spotlight Award at the Heartland International Film Festival. In 2016, his short film 'Game Night' premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won Best Super Short at the Savannah Film Festival. His second narrative feature, 'Remittance,' earned multiple festival awards, including Best Actress and Best Screenplay at the Brooklyn Film Festival, and is distributed worldwide. His debut feature, 'David' (2011), won the Ecumenical Prize at the Montreal World Film Festival. His most recent short film, 'The Spiritual Advisor,' is premiering at DOC NYC 2025 and is being distributed by Rolling Stone Films.</p><p><br></p><p>Soundtrack out 11/7/25</p><p>CD, Vinyl and Download: <a href="https://ismay.bandcamp.com/album/finding-lucinda-music-from-the-documentary" rel="nofollow">https://ismay.bandcamp.com/album/finding-lucinda-music-from-the-documentary</a></p><p>Apple Music: <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ismay/1340597459" rel="nofollow">https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ismay/1340597459</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/77sFDwywxshHFqKu6rVXIp?si=xlKBJrMMRFyvU0HYQ_F18Q" rel="nofollow">https://open.spotify.com/artist/77sFDwywxshHFqKu6rVXIp?si=xlKBJrMMRFyvU0HYQ_F18Q</a></p><p><br></p><p>Tickets to upcoming screenings in Boston, Brooklyn, Hudson NY, Providence RI and Chicago at <a href="http://www.findinglucinda.com/" rel="nofollow">www.findinglucinda.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch Finding Lucinda online: <a href="https://www.freestyledigitalmedia.tv/film/finding-lucinda/" rel="nofollow">https://www.freestyledigitalmedia.tv/film/finding-lucinda/</a></p><p><br></p><p>credits:</p><p>Finding Lucinda is Distributed by The Bluegrass Situation</p><p>Produced, recorded and mixed by Avery Hellman for Neanderthal Records LLC</p><p>Music by ISMAY</p><p>Special thanks to: Rose Bush, Liz McBee, Mick Hellman, Jonathan McHugh, Sydney Lane, Jacqueline Sabec, Rosemary Carroll, Lucinda Williams & Tom Overby</p>
