Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John DeLin.

It is November 17th, 2017 and we are just so very excited to have with us a new artist who's emerged onto the scene of sort of Mormon culture and in some sense he's not a new artist in some sense he's been around a while.

But today we're going to be celebrating the music of Weird Alma. Weird Alma is the sort of artistic name of our guest today. His name is Eric.

Hello.

Eric Harman. Is that okay to say it or do we not want to say it?

Eric Harman and Weird Alma, they are two distinct personalities. Have you seen the movie splits?

No, tell me about that.

It's a multiple person.

Who are we interviewing today?

Maybe a little above. You never know who you're going to get at a certain time.

Okay.

Well, we're interviewing Weird Alma slash Eric about this new album.

The album is called Straight Outta Kamora.

And there are so far eight songs that have been released and they're hilarious.

They're intelligent.

And the music in them are actually is actually quite sophisticated. I'm really impressed.

So today we're going to be bringing to you the music of Weird Alma and we're actually going to play it as we as we interview Eric.

So I'm going to go ahead and play the first song from the album, which is called Taper Back Writer.
