Only this time - all about bands/musicians/songwriters that we think are worth discussing. Alongside co-host Sharon Gissy , we both can’t wait for you to listen to us nerd out about music each month with the first episode of B-Side Me . The format is simple: each of us pick an A-side to discuss (a more popular well-known song) and then we choose a B-side (a song that’s more obscure) that we think you should listen to ASAP. Add our choices to playlists, listen to us talk about another art form we both adore just as much as film! Thank you so much to Sharon for joining me on this nerdy podcasting journey and can’t wait for more episodes (featuring guests in the future as well). Stay tuned to the very end for a special rendition of one of the songs discussed, performed by yours truly! Director's Club is a reader-supported publication.
