Allston Pudding Presents: The Puddcast

Atlanta-based musician Krystal Karting gave himself a unique challenge earlier this year: record an album with a 90-day Ableton free trial.

This week, Boston rapper Oompa sat down with us to talk about her summer output, a rising profile, shooting new videos, and how she's been growing into her own comfort zone as an artist and performer.

In part two of our interview with Janette King, we focus in on what makes for a successful relationship (SPOILER: self-love, patience, and communication are the keys).

Montreal's pop/R&B sensation Janette King joined us for a chat about her debut album "What We Lost," an exploration on love, loss, finding your inner strength. This one goes out to anyone trying to find their way after getting out of a relationship.

Who would win in a fight: Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman? Hint: it's not Randy Newman. We also discuss the relationship between musicians and music journalists, and why it should be a bit more symbiotic.

This week, we're joined by Jeff Vachon from The Cheerful Desolation Choir, who went into detail about his longtime experience as a musician in Boston, lamenting venue closures, trying to remember which bank owns the names to which venues, yadda yadda yadda.

This is The Trailer for The Puddcast.
