This is an honest look at the humble beginnings of all kinds of different artists - from actors and musicians to poets and photographers. Through conversation, Jeremy explores how their first experiences with their art form lead them to where they are today. In today's world of instant gratification, it's important to be reminded that not everything happens fast and easy. To succeed as an artist, it often takes a lot of steps and wrong turns along the path. And uncovering the nuances of those creative journeys is what this show is all about.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T16:18:44.472390+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-first-ever-podcast-6400577"},"episode":{"title":"293: Kevin Duquette (Topshelf Records): I Didn't Know It Could Be Like This","slug":"293-kevin-duquette-topshelf-records-i-didn-t-know-it-could-be-like-this","published_at":"2026-04-22T07:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-first-ever-podcast-6400577/293-kevin-duquette-topshelf-records-i-didn-t-know-it-could-be-like-this","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-first-ever-podcast-6400577","url":"https://the-first-ever-podcast.libsyn.com/293-kevin-duquette-topshelf-records-i-didnt-know-it-could-be-like-this","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/the-first-ever-podcast/293KevinFULL.mp3?dest-id=2791667","summary":"This week Jeremy welcomes Kevin Duquette of Topshelf Records On this episode, Jeremy and Kevin talk weather, time, ska-core, Bad Boy Records, radio station sweepstakes, playing drums, cataloging records, Big D and the Kid's Table, releasing records from bands that change completely, being a label for 20 years, and so much more!!!
