I’m joined by John Chiaverina (FKA Juiceboxxx), as his new project, Rustbelt, is taking off. I met the Milwaukee-based star at an appropriately “Wisconsin” locale: A Milwaukee Culver’s parking lot.

Discussed in this episode:

*Why John moved away from his Juiceboxxx past, and whether there were any challenges with introducing a new concept.
*The new EP – You Got Nowhere to Go But You’re Going There Tonight
*We’re all in our John Cougar Mellencamp phase.
*When it comes to Culver’s, John’s a cod guy.
*The underground community in Milwaukee.
*Between Chicago and Milwaukee, who has the better airport?
*Music journalism in the present day: Are we at the start of a new era?
*What is “egg punk?”
*John’s frame of mind in the present day.

Hey! I’m teaming up with the American Lung Association to help them save lives! I’ve committed to climbing the tallest building in the suburbs (Oakbrook Terrace Tower) and Soldier Field for the Fight For Air climbs. The Oakbrook Terrace Tower climb is fast approaching:
*Sunday, March 10th .
*This indoor experience is customizable, giving climbers the choice to go up the 30-floor stairwell once, twice, or 3 times.
*Get yourself registered: fightforairclimb.org/chicagoland.
*Take money off! The Lung Association is giving $10 off your registration when you enter code CARNE at checkout.
See you on the stairs!
