On episode 15 of Red Lens Podcast, I sat down for a conversation with Scott Crawford. Scott is a documentary filmmaker whose documentaries have focused on rebellious music and political activism. He’s produced Salad Days (2014), Creem: America’s Only Rock’n’Roll Magazine (2019), and his newest production, Something Better Change. And for those interested in photography, he also created a photography book called Spoke to accompany the film Salad Days.
The intro/outro song in this episode is ‘Zapatista garage punk instrumental’ by Joshua Hudes. You can find it here.
