The Anhedonic Headphones Podcast

  In the most triumphant return of the Anhedonic Headphones podcast, the show's charming host, Kevin Krein, 'returns the favor' of sorts, and in the tenth episode overall, and first of season two, he interviews his delightful wife, Wendy Placko. The two discuss such timeless questions like 'Does Sebastian The Crab's mixtape have too many features on it?' and 'Is Jakob Dylan the more influential of...

In the ninth episode, and finale of the podcast's first season, the format of the show is turned on its host; at the behest of a previous guest, Kevin finds someone willing to interview him about the music that has made an impact throughout his life. His charming wife Wendy willingly spoke with him, at length, about the idiotic amount of music he selected for the episode, as well as if the titular...

In the eighth episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones podcast, Kevin welcomes back returning guests Kyle and Wes, who more or less invited themselves on to do a show together, and play a bunch of weird songs that made everyone uncomfortable. A lot of soda is consumed, and, among other topics, ways to monetize the podcast via product placement and 'The Mandela Effect' are discussed at length.  ...

In the seventh episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones podcast, Kevin welcomes his former co-worker Sara to the program; she previously worked at the co-op for roughly three years before departing at the beginning of 2018. As you'll discover once you begin listening, Sara came prepared, complete with seven songs to discuss, handwritten talking points for almost all of them, and even a passage...

In the sixth episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker, David Frost, or commonly known to almost everyone as, simply, Frost. Originally from Tennessee, Frost, like many people at the co-op, has lived a hundred lives before this one. He’s worked a number of interesting jobs, has played in a number of bands before moving to Minnesota, and as expected, has a...

In the fifth episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker, Jeremy. Outside of having worked at the co-op for a number of years, prior to that, Jeremy was heavily involved with the 400 Bar, an iconic (and now shuttered) dive bar on Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, near the University of Minnesota campus. Literally a hole in the wall, it however attracted a cavalca...

In the fourth episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker (and across the street neighbor) Kyle. Surprisingly, the entire podcast was not recorded in an exaggerated David Lynch-voice, but instead, the two discuss nostalgia for the 1980s and 1990s, having the same CD collection as kids, being a 'Hulkamaniac' and having fun with their families and friends, and...

In the third episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker Leona, who has worked at the co-op since day one (technically even before day one.) They are also joined by her dog, Bea, who is responsible for the occasional, frenetic jingling sound you will hear in the background. The two discuss the place where jazz, folk, and new age/word music converge, how peop...

In the second episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker Wes Fraser, and over the course of their conversation, they discuss nostalgia, pyrotechnic displays at a county fair level, the comic romp known as Swiss Army Man, deceased friends, and when you finally realize something 'slaps.' In their haste, they did, however, forget to discuss how the bass drop i...

In the first episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, host Kevin Krein chats with his co-worker Vicki Scott, who also happens to be a prolific podcaster herself as the co-host of both She/Her/Hers and Grilled Cheese and Gin. Vicki provides eight songs to discuss on the show, including songs old, new, borrowed, and blue, as well as a 'sixpence in her shoe,' her 'favorite brother-in-law,...
