    4: Teenage Waitress

    On this episode, we speak with Daniel Ash, who records indie pop songs under the name Teenage Waitress.  Despite never having met Jason Lytle, he has loads to say about Jason's music and its influence on his own work.  He also goes in-depth on his favorite song of Jason's, and it's not one that you'd probably expect.

    3: Kramies

    For this episode, we are speaking with Kramies, the folk singer/songwriter who has worked with Jason occasionally over the last 10 years. Kramies shares his perspective on the type of jaw-dropping impact that Jason can have on a song during its production.  Additionally, he'll explain what is perhaps the greatest metaphor anyone could possibly come up with to explain Grandaddy.  To wrap up, Kramies will discuss another iconic song written by Jason Lytle, pointing out details that many may not have previously noticed otherwise.
