9-42 meets Jon Stewart

The one where Jason had a very intellectual chat with the guitarist from Sleeper.

Jon completed his PhD in 2018, and over the last few years has been working on expanding his thesis into a book. The result is Dylan, Lennon, Marx & God which was published late in 2021.

In this extended chat Jon talks Jason through his academic journey, how it has been influenced by both his childhood years in Sheffield and then by his university life in Manchester in the last eighties. Along the way they touch on living in LA, working with KD Lang & Mel C, and of course his work with Sleeper.

I'm Jason, and when I am not co-hosting this podcast I am trying to organise the next Guitar Show. The other co-host is Ant, we've known each other for years and he's the fella that pressured me in to doing this.

Each episode we will endeavour to bring you the stories behind the gear, to talk to the artists, the influencers and the manufacturers that keep us playing and loving the guitar.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
