Let\u2019s check in with musician, songwriter, producer, inventor and now novelist David Baerwald<\/a>. We talk \u00a0about America conforming to the apocalyptic vision of his 1992 album, Triage<\/a>, and his friends realizing he wasn’t as crazy as they thought. We get into the novel he’s writing about his family and its connections to 20th century history and the roots of the CIA, how working on the book lets him travel the world from his desk, why we should all Google Emily Hahn<\/a> & Israel Epstein<\/a>, why this is the most dangerous moment in human history, what it was like moving house in the middle of the pandemic, the fun of teaching guitar online, how he adapted a full-face snorkeling mask into PPE in lieu of an N95 mask, how his son and the college-age cohort views the future, how a bag of mushrooms is helping him get by, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go follow David on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and check out his music (here’s his Spotify link<\/a>)!<\/p>\n
