Thanks for your patience over the past week. I didn't expect COVID to hit me so hard, but I'm back (well, recovering) with one of the delayed episodes -- an interview with Ryan and Suzy of post-punk power trio Softswitch!

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company and by the Winterruption festival!

This week, we sit down with three members of local 'heart-pop' noodlers À La Mode -- outgoing (as in 'about to leave the band') guitarist Andy Cole, frontwoman/mastermind Dominique Lemoine and latest addition Ava Glendinning.
