James Ease & Jeff Smith: Cinematic Nightmares & South Texan Freeze Out

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Episode 59:

In this week’s episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell explores what happens when the road starts to feel a little too much like an omen. We sit down with Austin writer and filmmaker James Ease and Jeff Smith, the legendary frontman of the Austin cow-punk band The Hickoids.

James takes us on a West Texas road trip haunted by a series of eerie coincidences that felt like driving straight into a horror movie. Then, Jeff Smith details a brutal run through Northern Europe during a record-breaking cold spring, involving glitchy gear, a confusing loop around Antwerp, and a mad dash through an airport just to get back to the Texas heat.

Queering the British Holiday - Society of Antiquaries of London by Matthew Roberts

January 27, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm (lunchtime lecture)

2026 marks key anniversaries in British travel history, from Gulliver’s Travels to Butlin’s first holiday camp. This lecture traces the often-hidden presence of LGBTQ+ lives in the British holiday, revealing how liberation, desire, and surveillance shape three centuries of leisure. Through the Grand Tour, Music Hall coastal culture, Butlin’s camps, and Club 18–30, we explore travel as both method and metaphor—a queer pilgrimage into the liminal spaces of pleasure.

Matthew Roberts is a writer in his fourth year of a part-time PhD in Text, Practice as Research at the University of Kent, examining Queering the British Holiday. His critically acclaimed plays have appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and been featured in The Guardian, The South Bank Show, BBC 5 Live and LBC. After a decade in the tourist industry, he taught English in China, Liverpool, Manchester and London, and has presented research at major national and international conferences. He also volunteers at Queer Britain: The National LGBTQ+ Museum.

David Warren: Gators, Swamp Bodies, and the Tampon Man of South Georgia

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 06:00:08 GMT

Episode 21

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with location manager and scout David Warren.

Dave has spent years finding the perfect spots for film and TV productions across Georgia, and the stories that come with that job are unlike anything else. From calling gators out of the Okefenokee Swamp on a golf cart with a stick, to accidentally setting off a police search in Augusta after a prop body got left in a swamp, to driving the Florida Georgia state line with a model of a giant tampon trying to talk strangers into letting him use their property, Dave has seen the wild and colorful corners of the South that most people never get near. This week on Atypical Daydream, writer and director Jacob Vaughan travels through Mexico where he found his inner compass.

Farmer Dave Scher: China Grove in a Casino and a Love Letter in the Seine

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:52:38 GMT

Episode 20

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with multi-instrumentalist and Beachwood Sparks founding member Farmer Dave Scher.

Dave takes us through a life spent deep in the music, from the early days opening for the Black Crowes on a US tour that found itself on the road in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, to a band implosion in New Mexico that accidentally led to one of the best moments of the trip. Along the way, he also finds time for a perfect day off in Paris and a love letter thrown into the Seine. Dave's stories reveal what happens when you stay on the road long enough for the road to surprise you.

Jacob Vaughan: Todo Es Posible: Hitchhiking, Avocado Towns, and the Letter on the Back of a Photo

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 06:00:27 GMT

Episode 19

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with writer and director Jacob Vaughan.

In 1999, Jacob sold everything he owned, gave away the rest at a party, and crossed the border into Mexico with a backpack and no plan to come back. What followed was a journey guided almost entirely by instinct, a willingness to say yes, and a photograph with a letter scrawled on the back that opened a door he never knew was there. Jacob's story is about what happens when you fully commit to the unknown and just let the river take you.

Robert Bell & Josh Caldwell: The Mormon Western That Never Was

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 06:00:30 GMT

Episode 18

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell and his longtime writing partner Robert Bell recount a road trip across the American West that was supposed to produce a screenplay and produced almost nothing of the sort.

Armed with a laptop, a Ford Mustang, and a plan to write a Mormon Western while driving through Utah and Idaho, the two set off on a week-long loop through some of the most beautiful and strange corners of the country. What they actually encountered along the way was something else entirely, and the story has never left them.

Ed Hamell & Tyler Watson: Touring With Your Kid and the Sicily Cat Situation

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 06:00:10 GMT

Episode 17

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with songwriter and punk rock poet Ed Hamell of Hamell on Trial and clown, writer, and Vegas performer Tyler Watson.

Ed shares how he built a 30-year touring life around his son, logging 300,000 miles and 16 cross-country trips together since the kid was six years old, and what that kind of road life gives a child that nothing else can. Then Tyler Watson takes us to a Sicilian ranch house where he and his new wife were trying to decompress at the end of a two-month honeymoon, only for the quiet retreat to take a deeply unsettling turn involving the stray cat colony living on the property.

Stephen Flinn: Halloween on Sutter Street and Getting Up Off the Canvas

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 06:00:06 GMT

Episode 16

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with composer, drummer, percussionist, and teacher Stephen Flinn.

Stephen takes us through eight wild months driving a cab through the streets of San Francisco, from a Folsom Street Fair pickup that left him speechless, to a Halloween night that took a very unexpected turn, to a Sunday on the Haight with four passengers he absolutely should not have let in the cab. Then Stephen shifts gears entirely and takes us to a boxing gym in East Los Angeles where, after losing nearly everything following 9-11, he walked in a broken man and found his way back.

Susan Otten & Forrest Malnar: Lemmy's Last Drink and the Navy's Worst Roommate

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 06:00:41 GMT

Episode 15

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with singer and songwriter Susan Otten and Navy veteran Forrest Malnar.

Susan shares highlights from 25 years touring as a backup singer with Maria McKee, including the night she witnessed Lemmy do something before walking on stage that she still can't quite believe, and a small European show where switching instruments seemed like a fun idea until she looked out at the audience. Then Forrest Malnar takes us aboard a Navy ship in San Diego for a health and comfort inspection that, fair warning, is not for the faint of stomach.

Frank Hurricane: Spice, Psychedelic Folk, and the Angels of Moses Lake

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 06:00:55 GMT

Episode 14

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with musician, songwriter, and storyteller Frank Hurricane.

Frank takes us through a 65-day tour across the US with his best friend Invisible Dave, a journey that included a spice-addicted house show in Jacksonville, a psychedelic high school scene in Lubbock Texas, a very memorable encounter with US border agents, and a blown head gasket in the middle of the Washington desert that left two large bearded homies completely stranded and at the mercy of strangers. Frank's stories are straight out of rock and roll lore, and peek behind the curtain of a tour life few can imagine.

Episode 13

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with singer, songwriter, and band leader Joey Siara of Near Beer and the Henry Clay People.

Joey shares two stories about the kind of moments that remind a band why they actually love each other, even when they're five weeks deep into a tour and can barely stand the sight of each other. The first unfolds at a truck stop somewhere between Denver and Kansas City. The second happens at the Sasquatch Festival, where a campground neighbor's cookie turns a very long night into something nobody in the band will ever forget.

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 05:00:30 GMT

Episode 12

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with producer and writer Kent Adamson and fiddle player and bowmaker Katy Cox.

Kent takes us up into the mountains above LA to the opening shoot day of Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One, where a pearl-handled pistol, a defiant AD, and a very particular introduction to Lee Marvin made for one of the most unforgettable days of his life. Then Katy Cox walks us through both ends of the touring spectrum, from a Craigslist bus packed with pee bottles and a banjo player who vanished in Savannah, to the perfectly organized German bluegrass tours that finally showed her what the road could look like when someone actually knew what they were doing.

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 13:49:24 GMT

Episode 11

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with artist, writer, and old friend Scout McComb.

Scout takes us deep into Guatemala, first into a Highland Mayan village where he found himself running with a mob toward something he couldn't have anticipated, and then into the depths of the Petén jungle on a multi-day trek to one of the most remote and significant sites in the ancient Mayan world. Along the way, Scout encounters things that most people never see and sits down to a dinner that raises some very uncomfortable questions about what exactly is on the menu.

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 04:00:55 GMT

Episode 10

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with screenwriter and world traveler Kristi Dick.

After COVID broke her in LA, Kristi bought a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires with no real plan. What followed was months of wandering through South America until a single conversation with a stranger — and a glass of wine she almost didn't say yes to — set off a chain of events she never could have scripted. Kristi's story is about what happens when you trust your gut, stay open to connection, and let yourself look for the magic.

Johnny O'Donnell: Cheeseburgers, Dead Bats, and the Smoking Car

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 05:00:53 GMT

Episode 9

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with songwriter and filmmaker Johnny O'Donnell, calling in from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In the summer of 2003, Johnny and two best friends set out on a loop of the country with no real plan, a shared copy of Jack Kerouac, and a burning desire to meet girls — which did not go well. What followed was a journey full of strange coincidences, dark omens, a 70-year-old hitchhiker with tears in his eyes, and a train ride home through the desert that Johnny describes as the unexpected highlight of the whole trip. Johnny's story beautifully balances the seemingly unrelated with the deeply meaningful, and by the end you'll understand exactly why.

Daryl Sabara & Chris Jordan: Growing Up on the Road & Coffee at the Edge of the World

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 22:00:20 GMT

Episode 8 In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with actor Daryl Sabara and coffee legend Chris Jordan.

Daryl, best known as Juni Cortez from the Spy Kids franchise, opens up about what it was really like to grow up on the road as a child actor — traveling the world before he was ten, surrounded by adults on high-pressure film sets, and quietly processing what it meant to miss out on ordinary life back home. Then Chris Jordan, one of the most well-traveled figures in the specialty coffee world, takes us to the remote farms of Ethiopia and Yemen where the coffee is extraordinary and the journey to get there is anything but easy.

Ian Lee: The Homeless Friend and the Dave Matthews Cover-Up

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 05:21:05 GMT

Episode 7 In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with drummer, songwriter, and tour bus company owner Ian Lee.

Ian shares two stories from life behind the wheel. The first is a tale of unlikely human connection forged in a sketchy industrial corner of Chicago — one that lasted two years and involved a steady supply of leftover tour booze. The second is a rock and roll rumor that Ian insists is more than a rumor, involving the Dave Matthews Band, 800 pounds of waste dumped into the Chicago River, and a credible insider tip about who was actually on that bus.

A film school grad tracked John down in the Arizona desert during the pandemic to make a documentary about clown. What followed was two days of chaos, a creepy wooden marionette, a safe word, and a clown who had spent his whole career blurring the line between what's real and what's not — suddenly unable to tell which side of that line he was on.

Andy Creighton & Thomas Sutherland: The Wishbone Warning & The Border Gamble

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 05:00:08 GMT

Episode 5:

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with Andy Creighton of The World Record and Thomas Sutherland of Rayon Beach.

Andy tells a stomach-churning story about a roadside burger joint in rural Alabama that made a bold claim — "Best Burger in Alabama" — and what the band discovered in the ketchup bottle after they'd already eaten. Then Thomas Sutherland walks us through the improvised move that saved a 30-day North American tour from falling apart when two bandmates hit an unexpected wall at the Canadian border.

Keith Waggoner & Adeline Dante: Meth Warehouses & Daniel Johnston

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 04:07:52 GMT

Episode 4:

In this episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with Keith Waggoner and Adeline Dante to discuss the unpredictable and sometimes bizarre reality of life on the road.

Keith Waggoner, a musician and surfboard maker, shares a story straight out of a disaster movie. When his 1977 Dodge Tradesman van breaks down in rural California, he and his band find themselves stranded for days in a warehouse that may or may not have been a meth lab, playing for free beer in a local bar where they definitely didn't fit in.

Then, Adeline Dante (Addy) of Adeline and the Philistines recounts her very first tour, which just happened to be with the legendary Daniel Johnston. Addy shares a magical and "totally innocent" encounter with the late icon after a show at a San Diego burrito joint that perfectly captures Johnston's unique spirit.

Parker Brooks & Aaron Kyle: The King’s Room & Roman Candle Wars

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 04:07:36 GMT

Episode 3:

In this week’s episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell explores the "weird vacation" of the road with tech innovator Parker Brooks and songwriter Aaron Kyle. Parker takes us to Berlin, Germany, to recount a surreal check-in at the Michelberger Hotel involving an overwhelming room, a suspicious royal offer from the front desk, and a suite that defies standard hotel architecture.

Additionally, Aaron Kyle shares the high-stakes reality of indie touring—from a terrifying health scare in San Francisco to a midnight celebration in a Mississippi cotton field that captures the unbridled spirit of life in a van.

Seth Morris & Brian Soika: Desert Barons & Rock and Roll Wizards

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 04:00:05 GMT

Episode 2:

In this week’s episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell is joined by actor and comedian Seth Morris (Upright Citizens Brigade, Comedy Bang Bang) and drummer Brian Soika (Les Blanks, Stargraves). Seth reassures us that the Wild West is still alive—and fully baked—in the heart of America as he recounts a cross-country bike trek involving "desert barons" and a rowdy comedy festival in a Colorado mountain town.

Additionally, Brian Soika tells the tale of an enchanting tour experience with a true rock and roll wizard in Austin, involving a state penitentiary, toy instruments, and some professional pyrotechnic advice from a music legend.

Josiah Mazzaschi & Leslie Sisson: 90s Tour Mishaps & Mystery Gibson

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 02:25:25 GMT

Episode 1:

In the series premiere of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with Josiah Mazzaschi (Light FM, Bizou, Child Seat) and Leslie Sisson (Moving Panoramas). Josiah reminds us that touring is rarely a smooth path as he recounts the grit of the 90s Chicago scene, recording with Billy Corgan, and a bizarre merch-table misunderstanding that saved the band from going broke in Cincinnati.

Additionally, Leslie shares the "magical" journey of a famous country singer’s guitar—a story involving a $500 loan to a stranded tour bus and the unique musical bond it created between a father and daughter.
