Stereo Embers The Podcast 0102: Phil Radiotes (Phil And The Osophers)

“The Best Thing To Do In High School? Start A Band, Man”

That’s what Phil Radiotes did. The Bay Area born musician grabbed his friends and they spent their high school years playing in a band. But here’s the thing: that band still exists. Although almost 20 years have passed and the band have relocated to Brooklyn, Phil and the Osophers have almost 15 albums under their belts and their spry indie pop has never sounded better. In this chat Radiotes talks to Alex about leaving the Bay Area, how he regards his acting career and his love of The Grateful Dead. They also talk about artistic inspiration, the approach of the Beat Poets and the percussive sounds of a typewriter.
