281. The Life And Signs Of Dr. Matthew Donahue

Meanwhile At The Podcast

Hi, everybody. George flies solo on this extra-sized special episode to welcome back Dr. Matthew Donahue of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio (check out his previous appearance with some of his colleagues on episode 224 in our archives). Matt is a talented musician, producer, film maker, artist, and photographer. We discuss his varied projects including his collaborations with legendary blues musician Skip "Little Axe" McDonald and his documentary about the Hines Farm Blues Club, car art, the Amsterdam and Tokyo Sign Projects, and so much more. Plus, what is commercial archeology and why is Amsterdam the souvenir t-shirt capital of the world?
