Growing Up Naked

There's mayhem in the world and we're talking about it!Like a bat out of hell we go from war (oops- the "special operation") in Ukraine to war in Israel and Palestine to student protests, then segue (in our inimitable style) into dwarves and Larry David, with a birthday shout out to our old buddy Ryan Dawes, a hey ho to Heart To Gold and Why Not, and a happy landing on cows, horses

For better or worse, imagine yourself a fly on the wall. Casually conversatin' about affairs of the heart (literally), staying in touch with the ones you love (and not waiting for a podcast),more understudy drama, Julian Lage, Martha Washington, Kendrick Lamar, Staten Island, and featuring a couple of musical revelations by Adrianne Lenker and Friko.Layin' back loooong distance wit

Welcome back to school everybody! High School, Music School and the School of Life.It's a little time machine for you back to last Thanksgiving, 2023, in which we sit down with Milo's band mate, Willis Ray. (yeah, we got episodes stockpiled!)Much is discussed- Understudy drama, awkward Thanksgiving moments, TERF's, and the cost of playing clams. It's a magical and musical communion

Hey there, it's been a while 🤪!We're back with the Season 5 premier spectacular (!!!) where stories rear their pointy heads, from opening night anxiety to grace for a sick friend, rough encounters on the streets of New York, gender neutral bathrooms, grandparents struggling with cell phones and the incident at Katz's Deli.Like a ri-VUH, yo! It's good to be riding the airwaves ag

WORK WORK WORK! We're always working on ourselves and each other!Our final episode of Season 4- Episode # FORTY! And after taking MO to see a show in NYC, cousin Sarah came to MN a couple days later to see a live show of her favorite podcast (which evidently isn't ours). We talk about work at school, working for a school, working on hard stuff, the glorious trials of the middle sch

Milo's on their own in NYC, flourishing, struggling and wrastlin' with the good and the less good, magnificently. No context in this episode- just pure, raw conversation. If there's a theme, it's what's underneath.A conversation that takes the road less travelled and feels the truth of winter coming. Sleeplessness, Rhett and Link, Marsha P. Johnson, Angry Birds, Minnie Riperton, St

Ok, it's not that hard to edit and put up one of these episodes, so why did this take so long? Well, life and how we do it is a little more confusing since Milo left the Minneapolis. But now he's in the BIG APPLE-ISS and THIS IS OUR FIRST LONG DISTANCE EPISODE! We talk about a new life in New York, which in Milo's case involves bumping into a jazz guitar legend, college, roommates,

Sigrid Nielsen is a beautiful human and mom. She's brilliant, courageous, disciplined, supportive and adventurous. Her son Beckett is a 16 year old aspiring filmmaker and High Schooler, who although quiet, is fully present in the moment and keenly aware.We sat down with with these amazings to learn about their lives, their unique mother/son relationship, the things they stand for a

Lisa Channer is a theater artist, teacher and filmmaker. Her 18 year old son, Daniel, is going to music school this fall, just like Milo, except in Chicago. We've known these guys for a long time-ever since Milo and Daniel were little pip squeaks. We sat down to catch up and had another great Growing Up Naked conversation about the kids' different views of leaving home, what it's l

It was always going to be like this- if we got together with Irve Dell in the cozy room it would no doubt be a nitro A.D.D. wildfire of a conversation that spins and digresses and changes on a dime faster than superman (creepy crawler variety) chases a speeding bullet.
