54 - Squid Five-O
A Pickle Home Companion
A Pickle Home Companion is a heartfelt show featuring offbeat stories, unexpected interviews, conversations about music, and everyday life with “The Squids” (Kevin, Jared, Pete, & Brock) Each episode invites listeners into a space of reflection, curiosity, and connection—with a touch of humor and humanity. It's a place for the creatively restless and quietly weird, blending heart, humor, and appreciation for things in life. Each episode is like sitting on a porch with good company and stranger conversation. Come for the storytelling, stay for the tangents. Whether you’re tuning in on a walk, a drive, or a slow morning, you’re welcome here. Call or text “The Squid Hotline” at 1-985-28-SQUID!

Jared and Kevin are joined by Adam from the band Wantlands for a fun conversation with Dana Fuggin' Bollen of the Two Week Notice podcast. You may have seen him grace the stage with Piebald where he rocks the cowbell, or perhaps slinging merch at a show with a number of bands. He is here to talk about his new project Live Free or D.I.Y. Great dude, great conversations.

This week's episode is one we recorded a while back with members of the bands Mob Boss and Casting Shadows. They discuss what makes Furnace Fest such a memorable experience, music selections for Ert's paddleboard challenge, take a dip in the MuteMath corner, and Pete talks about his adventure at an Eisley show.

This week The Squids listen to some voicemails and sit down for a conversation with Eric Stevenson of the multi-media band Pocket Vinyl. They touch on the history of the band, having a painter as a band member, puns, stickers, Lobster Fest, concerts at planetariums, get vulnerable, and have some really bizarre conversations. So basically just another fun day here in Lake Skabegon.

This week The Squids continue their conversation with Robert Gay in a more traditional (for this show) episode. Jokes are made, references to previous episodes happen, and they chat about Robert's life in Nashville and New York, becoming involved in music at a young age, playing Furnace Fest, an obligatory stop in the MuteMath corner, they play a quick game, spin the Wheel of Topics, and go over some hotel do's and don'ts.
