Explore every episode of the podcast Dealing The Mobile Sound

In the first episode of “Dealing The Mobile Sound,” Abe Partridge talks about starting songwriting in his mid-twenties while pastoring a church, creating music for himself as a way through hard seasons. He shares why mystery matters in art and how painting and songwriting helped him navigate loss of faith and community. Abe performs “I aint sacred no more” and reflects on recording with Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth.

Dealing The Mobile Sound is a podcast about the songs and stories behind Mobile music. Hosted by Eric Erdman and recorded around a poker table in the back room at Callaghan’s Irish Social Club, the show brings together local musicians to talk about the music that shaped them — and the city that shaped the music. New episodes drop starting January 19.
