T. Hardy Morris on Songwriting, Shyness, and the Athens Music Scene
<p>Welcome to another episode of Overeducated and Underemployed! This week, we are sitting down with the incredible T. Hardy Morris, songwriter and former frontman of Dead Confederate. We dive deep into his early musical roots, how John Prine and Neil Young heavily influenced his approach to songwriting, and his shift back toward narrative and nostalgia in his recent tracks. Hardy also opens up about overcoming performance shyness, why he views himself strictly as a performer rather than an "entertainer," and how having kids shifted his existential worldview. Plus, we chat about his dual life in architectural design, the magic and hyper-supportive culture of the Athens, Georgia music scene, and how to ethically navigate "TikTok brain" and content over-saturation in 2026 by being intentional with what we consume. Check out T. Hardy Morris's upcoming schedule and grab your club crawl passes for AthFest!</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thardymorris.com/thardymorris">https://thardymorris.com/thardymorris</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/t_hardy_morris/">https://www.instagram.com/t_hardy_morris/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/t.hardy.morris">https://www.facebook.com/t.hardy.morris</a></p><p></p><p> 👉 AthFest Schedule & Tickets: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://athfest.com/">https://athfest.com/</a> </p><p>👉 Read the interview referenced in this episode: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.15questions.net/interview/fifteen-questions-interview-t-hardy-morris/">https://www.15questions.net/interview/fifteen-questions-interview-t-hardy-morris/</a></p><p></p><p>Theme Song by Sloan Brothers : <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB">http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB</a></p><p>New Album By Sloan Brothers: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses">https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses</a></p><p>Title inspired by Lee Bains III: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thegloryfires.com/">https://www.thegloryfires.com/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/Feddun">https://www.patreon.com/Feddun</a></p>

Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady, Author of "Band People")
<p>What happens when a classically trained kid from a tiny 800-person town in New Hampshire ends up touring Russian anarchist punk squats? In this episode of Overeducated and Underemployed, we sit down with author, multi-instrumentalist, and legendary keyboardist of The Hold Steady, Franz Nicolay!</p><p>When the Senate investigated Live Nation and Ticketmaster, indie rock veteran Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady, World/Inferno Friendship Society) stood alone as the only musician at the witness table, risking industry retaliation to defend the music middle class. </p><p>We sit down for an intimate, exclusive interview exploring the life of a "rock and roll lifer." We dive into his upbringing, how his time at NYU provided a crucial clean slate, and how decades of grinding DIY tours across places like Siberia and Mongolia directly inspired his acclaimed books, The Humorless Ladies of Border Control and Band People. </p><p>This is the real, unvarnished truth of the 21st-century music industry, straight from someone who has lived it in both no-name punk houses and Carnegie Hall. Franz takes us on a journey through his unique musical evolution: from being an elementary school "classical music snob" to picking up the guitar during the '90s grunge explosion and later accidentally falling into punk rock keyboards. He exposes the bizarre late-'80s ideology that tried to ban keyboards from rock , shares insane stories from his DIY touring days with the World/Inferno Friendship Society , and explains how his international travel diaries shaped his career as an author. </p><p>If you're a musician trying to make a living, a fan of indie rock history, or just love crazy travel stories—this deep dive is for you! </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://franznicolay.com/">https://franznicolay.com/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/franznicolay/">https://www.instagram.com/franznicolay/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://franznicolay.bandcamp.com/">https://franznicolay.bandcamp.com/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/franznicolay/">https://www.facebook.com/franznicolay/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5PhAVWXD3Q1n54WJA6rkhq">https://open.spotify.com/artist/5PhAVWXD3Q1n54WJA6rkhq</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://theholdsteady.net/">https://theholdsteady.net/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3qkZBMz5JgmRN9u5wwhRC6">https://open.spotify.com/artist/3qkZBMz5JgmRN9u5wwhRC6</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/theholdsteady/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/theholdsteady/?hl=en</a> </p><p> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pianofighter.substack.com/">https://pianofighter.substack.com/</a></p><p> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477323533/">https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477323533/</a> </p><p>Theme Song by Sloan Brothers : <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB">http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB</a> </p><p>New Album By Sloan Brothers: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses">https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses</a> </p><p>Title inspired by Lee Bains III: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thegloryfires.com/">https://www.thegloryfires.com/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/Feddun">https://www.patreon.com/Feddun</a></p>

Refusing to Professionalize Passion and The Problem with Modern Comedy Crowd Work | Evan Rossi
<p>What happens when you actively refuse to make money from your art so you don't learn to hate it? In this episode of Overeducated and Underemployed, host Feddun sits down with comedian and experimental musician Evan Rossi for a wide-ranging, chaotic, and deeply insightful conversation.</p><p>Evan breaks down his philosophy on keeping your passions strictly as hobbies, his childhood obsession with tape manipulation that birthed his lo-fi project Dactyloi, and his time writing sketch comedy for Murderfest. Plus, Fedin and Evan pull no punches while discussing why modern social media crowd work is ruining live comedy, their mutual love for cult classics like UHF and The Monkees' "Head", and why hot dogs are just "the smooth, pink fruit of industry."</p><p>👉 <strong>Check out Evan's experimental music project, Dactyloi, on Bandcamp!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://daktyloi.bandcamp.com">daktyloi.bandcamp.com</a></p><p></p><p>Theme Song by Sloan Brothers : <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB">http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB</a> New Album By Sloan Brothers: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses">https://sloanbrothers.bandcamp.com/album/love-other-diagnoses</a> Title inspired by Lee Bains III: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thegloryfires.com/">https://www.thegloryfires.com/</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/Feddun">https://www.patreon.com/Feddun</a></p><p>#ComedyPhilosophy #TheMonkees #TapeArt #Plunderphonics #Underemployed Podcast</p>
