Ryan Martinez turns the events of his life into musical diaries, and despite this year’s turmoil, he has a lot to sing about.

Living Through...This
8/5/2020
David Ross & Dan Bloom take to the woods of Rock Creek Park to discuss the disaster that is the United States in 2020: over 150,000 dead in a pandemic with no end in sight, raging protests for racial justice, and the 45th President ordering secret police into the streets. If this moment doesn't call you to introspection and action, nothing will. Articles referenced: • The New Yorker: 'Homeland Security Was Destined to Become a Secret Police Force' by Masha Gessen...

Everyone goes through struggles in life, and we believe that the way forward begins with knowing yourself. Today, we discuss the twists and turns along our sometimes difficult paths in order to better understand ourselves and the world around us.

But there are ways to find yourself again: through discussion with loved ones, therapy,...

Find The Lodestar - Dan & David's Wild Rides
1/7/2019
When a cryptic op-ed appeared in The New York Times, it set off a frenzy in US politics. The writer, an anonymous senior official in the White House, criticized the President for whom they served as amoral. With his interest piqued, co-host Dan Bloom decided to do a little online sleuthing. Although the writer's identity remains unknown, there was one key clue that led to Dan's guess. Vice President Mike Pence happens to use an unusual word conspicuously often that also appears in the op-ed:...

Trevor Sensor - Starborne Eyes (Dupont Underground Sessions)
11/22/2016
Upon hearing the 22 year-old Trevor Sensor's unique voice, we knew our little tunnel underneath Dupont Circle would wrap its arms around him. Straight out of Sterling, IL, his singing style tilts its hat to prominent voices like Bob Dylan. Since it was just he and his weapon of choice, an old but classy acoustic guitar, we thought it'd be best to record in the iGlow (installation built by artist Hiroshi Jacobs).
