Thanks to some wonderfully busy weekends that come along with the high tide of the summer festival season—most recently PDX Pop Now! followed back-to-back with Pickathon—The Gritty Birds Podcast is taking a two-week break before finishing off season one on September 1, which'll all wrap up with guests:
Amy Miller: voted Portland's Funniest Comedian last month in addition to being a booker for True West and the Aladdin Theater
Fahiym B. Acuay aka Mac Smiff: editor-in-chief of We Out Here Magazine
Papi Fimbres: the prolific, unrelenting drummer who hits the skins in some 22 bands yet is moving to Germany for a year beginning this month—read our profile on him by Ryan J. Prado
Coming this fall, The Gritty Birds Podcast will move to a monthly format and you can look for it featured on Vortex every first Thursday.
In the meantime, stay abreast of host Jeni Wren's weekly show recs on her blog and find an archive of every episode released so far here. Happy summer listening!
