  • Ep. 9: Festive Stories of Hatred (featuring Nick Wilkinson)
    Dec 23 2025
    Welcome in festive flats and snowy sharps! It’s the very first holiday episode of In the Key of Brie! And who could be a better guest for such an episode than Nick Wilkinson? They’re bearded and kind-eyed, with cheeks rosy from this bitter cold, but they assured me that they’re NOT Santa. What they are is a music fan! Specifically, they came on to chat all about the biggest rock spats in history! What could be a better topic for the most wonderful time of the year? It’s a group of people who are emotionally close screaming and yelling at each other! If this all hits too close to home (pun intended), oof, I hope your holidays are peaceful! But as for the members of Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Styx, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Pixies…. Well, a lot of bands… let’s get some enjoyment out of listening to their tunes and tales of ensemble woe! P.S.- Sorry we ran out of time before we got to The Replacements!

    Welcome in flats and sharps! If you’ve been paying attention to current events for…. awhile, things seem pretty bad. Like worse than usual, and usual was bad to begin with you know?

And if you’re anything like your dear host Brie, or her phenomenal guest, the one and only Logan Greenfield, then oooo baby are you angry. Probably also very worried and scared and deeply hurt, but also, most assuredly, angry. Well the bad news is 2026 is probably going to be similar for a little (unless you live in NYC, three cheers for everybody’s favorite Muslim communist hellbent on destroying America and our way of life lol). But the good news is we have PLENTY of tunes to share with you. Get ready to rage and pump yourself up for any protest, whether it’s trans rights, anti-ICE, pro-Palestinian, ACAB, eat the rich, you name it! Your two queer hosts have got you covered!

  • Ep 2: Being at Your Lowest and Coming Back Better Than Ever (featuring Tracy Conoboy)
    Mar 10 2025

    Welcome in flats and sharps! It’s the second time I’ve gotten to say that! This episode features someone who’s really neat: please welcome Tracy Conoby! Sit your ears down for a moment and enjoy as we discuss Tegan and Sara (and catfishing), Paramore and their wondrous frontwoman, MUNA’s infectious gay pop, and “crying to Julien Baker songs in my car”! Plus, a fun round of Hard Times or Real Times, the new quiz game sweeping the nation (as in the nation of In the Key of Brie; it’s in half of their episodes!) If you think you’re ready for this episode, you probably are! I won’t judge your ability to know yourself! But I will judge you if you don’t listen!

    WARNING: A small discussion of addiction starts at 52 minutes and ends at 54 minutes.
