Live Wire is thrilled to have Chuck Klosterman, Joey Clift, and Ages and Ages join us for our next show on October 15th!
Live Wire Radio is an independently produced radio show based in Portland, Oregon. Hosted by Luke Burbank and announced by Elena Passarello, the show artfully blends unpredictable conversation, live music, and original comedy featuring all kinds of cultural talent and creative minds, from emerging artists to established acts. Live Wire champions discovery by producing engaging, spirited, and genuine live and listening experiences for a local and national audience.
Chuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of ten nonfiction books (including "The Nineties"; "But What If We’re Wrong?"; and "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs"), two novels, and a short story collection. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Esquire, Spin, The Guardian, The Believer, and ESPN. Klosterman served as the Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine for three years and was a founder of the website Grantland with Bill Simmons. His latest book, "Rock*: A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music," rewrites the history of reality in an “ingenious” (Kirkus Reviews) work of speculative fiction based on a question that has never been considered or (in all likelihood) even asked: What if The Beatles had only developed a cult following while the Velvet Underground emerged as the most popular band in the world?
Joey Clift is a comedian, TV writer, director, Peabody and Emmy-nominated producer, and enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Joey attended college to become a local TV weather person because he didn’t see any Native American comedians on television as a kid, and that made him believe he wasn’t allowed to work in comedy. He has since proven otherwise, writing for critically acclaimed TV series like "Spirit Rangers" on Netflix, "Molly of Denali" on PBS and "Paw Patrol" on Nickelodeon. His debut book, "We’ve Been Here the Whole Time!: A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America," takes readers on a hilarious journey through a wide range of misconceptions, weird questions, and even weirder assumptions, covering everything from Pocahontas and sports mascots to ancestry claims and the Land Back movement.
Ages and Ages is a joyful indie rock band from Portland, formed in 2009 before signing to Partisan Records in 2011. Along the way, they've released three albums, played Newport Folk Festival, and delivered a session for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series, where Robin Hilton called their music "unabashedly inspirational, thoughtful and crazy-catchy, in ways that make it hard to listen without feeling better about the state of the world." Their latest album, "Fine Thanks and You," reflects the polite and truncated outer shell of a much longer and more complicated story we all have.
