September 3, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

Ray B. from Chat Pile is here to discuss their raging new album Who Loves the Sun, climate change denial and the links between socio-political apathy and fear, despondency about falling literacy rates and our addictive dependence on our telephones, missing cultural community hubs like video stores and libraries, how artificial intelligence is hunting down our humanity, pondering Pantera and John Fahey, hidden tracks on compact discs, an unexpected celebration of the band Boston, theatrical dynamics in Chat Pile and why the band employs pseudonyms, a Velvet Underground nod with multiple meanings, a folk future, what’s next for Chat Pile, and much more.
