Gather 'round, gather 'round! It's Episode No. 177, and I am stoked to share with you that this week's guest is Joshua James Warren of Joshua James & The First Aid Kit.

Joshua joined me for a conversation about growing up in Arkansas, pit-stopping in St. Louis, and calling Kansas City home (for the time being, anyway). We also talked about the gigs he puts on at Grinder's, The First Aid Kit's singles and EP (available where you stream) their current LP project, and lots of stuff in between all of that.

We spent a few moments peeking at a few of his favorite albums, too, which were these:

For Emma, Forever Ago (2007), Bon Iver

John Mayer's Where the Light Is (Live in Los Angeles) (2008)

Camp (2011), Childish Gambino

Hobo Johnson's The Fall of Hobo Johnson ...
