Carter Faith is a Nashville songwriter and artist on the rise. We discuss her path as an artist, why she moved to Nashville and her songwriting process. For Carter, it's all about the song but she loves being on the stage and she recently opened up for The Avett Brothers. In Nashville, Carter constantly comes up in conversation. The industry is rallying behind her and she has been featured on playlist covers for Fresh Finds and Today's Country. Learn about her now, before she blows up.

ERNEST is back in the studio solo, and this episode is all about catching up on Ern's recent shows, fatherhood, and fan questions.

The episode kicks off with some Goody's good news, and Ern shares his experience performing at The Ryman recently, and what it meant to him as a musician. He then catches us up on how Fatherhood has been, some of the recent shows he has played, and why he has a new nemesis in Nashville, Will Compton. ERNEST closes out the episode with some discussion on writer's block, his plans to bring Abercrombie and Fitch back, and Ern plays ANOTHER unreleased song that he just wrote.

After a week in deep freeze and power adventures that shuttered last week's episode, Hooks & Runs returns with two interviews. First up, Tiffany and Caitlin Saunders, hometown extreme racers now residing in Austin. For several years now, Tiff and Cait have traveled the country and globe competing in Ironman competitions. We talked with them about the progression from beginner racer to Ironman, their travels to South Africa to compete in the 2018 Ironman World Championships, swimming in the frigid Indian Ocean, and racing at Daytona (without the cars).

Whiskey Jam is a major independent music showcase in Nashville known for helping break artists like Maren Morris, Jon Pardi and Brother Osborne. Whiskey Jam founder Ward Guenther joins us on Hooks & Runs this week as the showcase enters its second decade. Guenther also hosts two shows on Apple Radio -- The Ward Guenther Show and Country Roads. This interview offers a fun insider's view on how young artists struggle for exposure in the competitive Nashville market.

In Chapter 3, Eric and Craig offer their thoughts on the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees.
