#148 - Jeremy Bolm (Touche Amore & The First Ever Podcast)

Behind the Vinyl

This week's guest is the one-and-only Jeremy Bolm! We kick off the podcast talking about his own personal show, The First Ever Podcast, a fan favorite interview based podcast in the music industry. We talk about pre-interview nerves, which Jeremy believes is a positive because it shows that you care - the same goes for the live experience. Jeremy has had countless impressive guests appear on his show, giving us a quick rundown of several special episodes. The First Ever Podcast recently did a live episode that, no surprise, turned out to be a huge success.

This interview also switched over to the music side of things. Jeremy talked about bands collabing and how it's an opportunity to flex just how talented his friends are. He also gets into the reality of touring musicians giving up on their dreams and how being in a band was never a question for him. Jeremy also discusses the Touche Amore members evolving and how he realized early on that he needs to find ways to keep up. Lastly, Jeremy gets into his writing process and how his lyrics are almost always deeply personal. There are also plenty of other fun topics like Jeremy's appearance in the Weird Al movie, meeting Daniel Radcliffe, and doing the Run for Cover record selection - plus how his Revolver interview is the way I found the band Praise (a previous guest on the pod!). Check out his projects below!
