Every few years there will be an inevitable outcry that “Radio is dead.” Fortunately, the team at Nashville’s WNXP 91.1 FM didn’t get the memo. The public radio station launched in late 2020; not exactly an ideal time for anything but the station has flourished in the years since.

Devalued is honored to host the station’s Program Director and Brand Manager Jason Moon Wilkins and Events Director (and lifelong Nashvillian) Emily Young. The duo provide real insights about how radio fits into the modern music industry, how they consciously work to lift the community and how artists can directly benefit from radio, even today!

Our conversation is delightful evidence that the headlines are wrong; radio isn’t dead and, in fact, is possibly more accessible than ever.

Today we hear a really special episode; our first ever live episode! Recorded Thursday, December 15th at Vinyl Tap in East Nashville with acclaimed musician Lilly Hiatt and former Rounder Records president John P Strohm. The topic at hand was “Does Anybody Make It Anymore?” and both guests provided great insights from their unique perspectives. What is making it? Should artists set specific goals to achieve? How dirty of a word is “content”? Is social media a prerequisite for reaching creative satisfaction?

Thanks to everyone that came out and to Good People Brewing for the sponsorship. Devalued Happy Hour will happen again in March 2023; stay tuned.

Today we talk with legendary recording engineer Steve Albini. He’s produced thousands of albums (including Nirvana, The Breeders, Pixies, PJ Harvey) and runs his Chicago studio Electrical Audio as a highly accessible destination. He also makes his own music in the band Shellac.

He’s made a living finding the balance between art and money; two entities that don’t have a natural relationship. He talks with Devalued about his beginnings in the punk community through the economics of being in a band. Albini is known for his frank opinions and they are most appreciated in this forum.
