The Pinhook Podcast

Sylvan Esso brings Gherkin to discuss how it all being here in Durham, NC. We talk why they love this town / city, the full new full band record out on Psychic Hotline along with the full band tour, Good Moon Festival and who said YES!, feelings, crushes, and so much more.

In this episode we dig deep into the incredible musical written by Carly Campbell and performed / edited / curated / costumed and more by so many folks in the overarching Durham Queer Community. This production has been in the works for over a decade and sold out its week long run at the Fruit in just a few days. We need more art that focuses on mental health and tells the story of how the system will always fail us and that we keep each other safe.

n this fun time we talk to Mir.I.AM about the love behind Carolina Waves, Managing JOOSELORD and what that even means, throwing FREE festivals to support cancer research, interviewing Whitney Houston and HUGGING HER, Texting T. Boz, becoming a radio personality for k97.5 / Foxy 107.5 AND WKNC <3 ... this one slaps. Don't forget to donate to our patreon which makes all of this possible.

Out South Film Festival has been going STRONG in Durham NC since 1995 and we're lucky to bare whitness to its every growing philosophy and curation here in our lovely city. Whistle Down Wind is "a queer love story told across three decades in a small Appalachian town, where a hidden love runs up against the place that made them." In this episode we interview Andie Morgenlander, director and co-writer of this incredible love story.

Holly Pocket (know as the MILF with the MIC) and Nicolette Nightmare are the co-creators of Pocket Nightmare Productions, an independent local drag and burlesque production company based in NC. We talk about it all - getting into burlesque after parenthood - costumes - and what makes our scene so special. Donate to our patreon if you can - it makes these interviews possible!
