About Me

That Sound is a one hour music radio show that plays the best new indie releases. It airs on KPSU Friday nights at 7, and is available as an mp3 download or podcast at thatsoundradio.com (and older archives at postmodernrock.com ). I also interview bands from time to time and have them play in-studio.

Listening to podcasts, by the way, is as easy as doing email. Seriously. And, you don't need an iPod. Click here to read more.

Also on postmodernrock.com are my interviews with They Might Be Giants , Sarah Vowell of This American Life , Tegan and Sara , Viva Voce , Denison Witmer , and Smoosh , as well as others. Check it out, yo!
