Toupin Talks: Recent Episodes
Katie Toupin
Toupin Talks is a podcast hosted by Katie Toupin, a platinum awarded songwriter and performer. Join Katie for conversations with her guests (musicians, comedians and other influential persons) about where they are, how they got there, and what's on the horizon. Katie is intrigued by the variety of individual journeys of those she has been connected to throughout her career in music. She was inspired to start Toupin Talks from a passion for connecting with fellow dreamers and creators.
Katie tells what life is like on the road when touring in a van and shares three stories from the road. From a trailer falling off the van in NYC, breaking into an abandoned Water Park with the Alabama Shakes, and meeting Conan O’Brien. Katie also chats with Matt Jamie, founder of Bourbon Barrel Foods, about the importance of Bourbon culture in Kentucky and how you can still partake in the culinary experience Kentucky has to offer when you are sober!

Today, I get to chat with actress Anna Maiche. We jump right into talking about life changing injuries and how it led to her landing a role on “Tiny Pretty Things.” We decide life as an artist is a chicken and egg situation of the arts. We also bond over not supporting the evils of factory farming and animal rescue!
Miles Taylor and I reminisce about when Miles gave me a tour of the White House. He reveals how big of a Coldplay and Killers fan he is, and we talk about my song “Astronaut.” We also find out that we may have the same niece but, at the very least, have a mutual adoration for our tiny dogs, Martini and Cheeto.

For my second ever solo show I wanted to do a focused look at my personal creative process. Music, acting and now podcasts are so important to me. I thought I'd share.

My guest this week is Sinclair! We jump into religion, John Alagia and Christmas traditions. We also discover how much we align on our self reliant attitudes toward the music industry.

E7. Today's show is a fun one. I talk to Tim Hanseroth, who - along with his twin brother - is one third of "Team Brandi Carlile." We bond over our affinity for Rockbridge guitars, shared our stance on in-ear monitors and talk about what got us both into making music. Tim gets in-depth about his writing processes and what it was like to learn a new instrument for the Joni Mitchell “Blue” tribute concert at Carnegie Hall.

E6. This week, I chat with BJ Barham about his new 90s cover album "Slappers, Bangers, and Certified Twangers" and struggle repeatedly to pronounce the name of his upcoming album, "Chicamacomico." We bond over treating music as our business and share our thoughts on Christmas songs.

Subscribe to Katie Toupin: http://bit.ly/subKatieToupin E3. I tell a story about being afraid I'll be murdered for talking about Zach Jobin, a pathological liar, who had my dog for nine months. In a much more chill part of the show, I have my first of two chats today with Christain Watt of the Kentucky Botanical Co. Christain shares why their CBD products are so potent and effective. Up next, Nikki Barber of the Minks drops fresh info on the band and the intricacies of her unique, bluesy sound. Nikki even shares with me what makes her drummer, Dylan Seevy so good looking. All of this conversation was shared over a bowl of chicken soup, as it's done.

First things first, I share with the world how I got into a serious relationship during lockdown. Erica Rhodes and I dissect the beginnings of how we've become good friends despite never meeting in person. Ever. Before the show is over, we jump into gift giving, what type of men pique our interest and, of course, our shared disgust of self-produced documentaries.
