Dancing Mattress Productions' Greatest Hits 9: Auteurs

Today's shows focus, for the most part, on solo artists featured over the last six months or so of both the Mental Nomad Podcast and Pod Across America. (KaiserCartel is a duo, and one supposes you could argue Ellen Cherry is a band, since the name is a pseudonym for the woman up front.)

Here's what you'll hear today (direct download here):
