Episode 42 - Ricky Schmidt (Hey, Chels/Western Settings)

The guest for episode 42 of The Keep It Posi Podcast is Ricky Schmidt. Ricky is in San Diego bands Hey, Chels and Western Settings. He also has solo stuff of his own. In this conversation, Ricky and I talked about all the music he’s working on, the first albums he owned, the Beach Boys, and more. You can purchase a copy of a limited stereo lathe cut record with Ricky’s latest single, “Miss You” via paperstreetcuts.com!

This week, The Posi Spotlight is focused on Stop Street Harassment. Stop Street Harassment is a nonprofit organization dedicated to documenting and ending gender-based street harassment worldwide. SSH believes that street harassment impedes gender equality and must be taken seriously. Because street harassment is often seen as an invisible problem and it is dismissed as being a “minor annoyance”, a “joke”, or the fault of the harassed person, the primary focus of SSH is to document the problem and demonstrate why it’s a human rights violation that must be addressed. If you would like to learn more or make a donation to Stop Street Harassment, you can visit stopstreetharassment.org.

The podcast is available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Breaker, Google Podcasts, Overcast, RadioPublic, and Anchor FM! Please rate and subscribe? Thank you to everyone who has listened. It really means a lot!
