In this week’s episode, Anthony Ihrig and Mother Banjo talk with singer, songwriter, journalist and author Jim Walsh. He joins us from Minneapolis with a local 612 beer to revisit his 2023 EP Shout It Out to You. He talks about his punk rock roots, how writing about other people’s music is as healing as writing his own songs and the weird and revolutionary spirit of Minneapolis.
