The Anhedonic Headphones Podcast

Don't You Take My Matthew Perry From Me!

 

In the most triumphant return of the Anhedonic Headphones podcast, the show's charming host, Kevin Krein, 'returns the favor' of sorts, and in the tenth episode overall, and first of season two, he interviews his delightful wife, Wendy Placko. The two discuss such timeless questions like 'Does Sebastian The Crab's mixtape have too many features on it?' and 'Is Jakob Dylan the more influential of the Dylan family?' They also, at length, discuss music from throughout Wendy's life, and the impact each song had on her, since that's, like, the point of this show.

Season Finale - Exactly Like 'Soul Train' (W/ Kevin Krein)

In the ninth episode, and finale of the podcast's first season, the format of the show is turned on its host; at the behest of a previous guest, Kevin finds someone willing to interview him about the music that has made an impact throughout his life. His charming wife Wendy willingly spoke with him, at length, about the idiotic amount of music he selected for the episode, as well as if the titular character from "ALF" needs to be 'Me Too'd', if you can swear on a podcast, and what it's like living with terribly fragile mental health.

Why Is The Creeper Coming Around to All My Shows? (W/ Jermey Bishop)

In the fifth episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker, Jeremy.

Outside of having worked at the co-op for a number of years, prior to that, Jeremy was heavily involved with the 400 Bar, an iconic (and now shuttered) dive bar on Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, near the University of Minnesota campus. Literally a hole in the wall, it however attracted a cavalcade of local talent, as well as national names that were all on the cusp of bigger things.

The conversation about the music scene in Minneapolis was so enthralling, Kevin forgot to ask Jeremy about his earliest musical memory; maybe some other time?
