Our first overseas interview—and it’s a deep one. Shandon Sahm joins Green Chili Chisme from the Netherlands, where immigration officers recognized his name and ushered him in. That name? Doug Sahm—his father, his hero, and the soul we dive into like never before.

We talk:

• 🎸 Being the only Sahm kid born in Cali, and not touching music until high school

• 🧨 Parriah, his first band, and signing to a label early

• 🌵 Watching the Meat Puppets rise to rock star status at 23

• 🎭 The Doug + Kiss connection: backstage passes, Gene Simmons’ Ax Bass, and Paul Stanley showing up for Doug in NYC

• 🎶 Two solo records, studio happy accidents, and the circles fans travel—from Meat Puppets to Doug to the Tornados

• 🕊️ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubs, and why Doug’s name still echoes

Shandon sounds so much like his dad it’s haunting. He thanked us—me and Mike—multiple times for keeping Doug’s name alive. He didn’t know he’s woven into eight of my short films. Now he does.

This one’s not just a deep dive. It’s a soul spiral.

Jeff Smith is the frontman for the Alt/Country/Punk outfit known as The Hickoids. Inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame, the band continues to produce and tour since 1984.

In this candid interview, Jeff talks being an Okie growing up in Texas in a family that went from poor beginnings to the middle class, his musical influences and much more.

She was the first Indigenous woman in North America to direct a major feature film. But Georgina Lightning is more than a pioneer — she’s a force. From Older Than America to Trickster, her work confronts history, heals wounds, and reclaims narrative power.

In this episode, Georgina opens up about her father’s experience in residential schools, the spiritual weight of storytelling, and her mission to elevate Indigenous voices through film. It’s raw, riveting, and rooted in truth.
