Anywhere The Needle Drops
Music and art is all around us. Join Justin Flagel for conversations with the musicians, artists, and creative people making things happen here in Michiana and beyond. Tales from the growing local scene will highlight the creators, venues, and events. Performers from the regional and national scene will stop by to visit. Big or small, learn about who they are, what they’re making, and what drives them as creators and as people.

Nick Yoder of Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks joins me in the studio to talk spirits and the thriving Michigan adult beverage industry.

Today's guest is Mr. Dylan Fox of Dylan Fox And The Wave. Though our generations are a bit separate, Dylan and I bond over the shared experience of rebelling against the music of our parents (and eventually finding value in it). We discuss his upcoming releases, some of which you can check out now at DylanFoxandtheWave.com. And you can check out one of the tracks on the episode, You Never Say Anything Nice. Enjoy!

Artist Chelsea Thompto discusses her art, transgender awareness, and the Origami Swan Project. The OSP is an art piece bringing together participants from all over the world, each making a white swan to be displayed with one grey swan to represent the 1 in 30,000 people who identify as transwomen.

Our discussion takes us into pop culture representation of the trans community, as well as a fun dive into our favorite reads and watches in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

You can check out all of Chelsea's art, including the Origami Swan Project, by visiting ChelseaThompto.com and follow the OSP on Facebook and Instagram.
