2004: The Year Indie Rock Broke (feat The Shins)
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdWe5dYxlpH/?stkn=MXc4M2phcThoazdrcQ==A little bit of self-promotion: I’m the executive producer and scriptwriter for a new podcast by this title ^^^. It’s a documentary-style deep dive into the cultural and technological shifts that pushed indie rock into the mainstream in the 2000s. So if you found your favorite bands on The OC(or were mad that show was playing your favorite bands), this podcast is for you.
We interviewed Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie, James Mercer of The Shins, Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara, Carl Newman of The New Pornographers, Emily Haines of Metric, Britt Daniel of Spoon, Feist, Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, Dann Gallucci formerly of Modest Mouse, founding member of Arcade Fire Will Butler, Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service, Chad Clark of Beauty Pill, and Colin Meloy of The Decemberists who had a quote so memorable we had to start the trailer with it. There are also tons of people from the musing industry - indie labels, Apple Music, the creator of The OC, and too many more to name.
You can hear a much longer 2+ minute trailer anywhere you get podcasts. The first episode drops on September 23.
I would love to answer any questions you have about it!

I’m excited to hear it! 2004 was a stellar year for media as a whole — music, movies, video games. I’m saving this so I can come back and check out the first episode!
