Sixteen Questions: Jason Stewart
A rapid fire interview series
Over the past decade I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of hours of podcasts. There was a time where I listened to them literally all day while I was mowing yards (I did that for work for 8 years). I religiously followed a few different shows and had a solid lineup of new episodes to rip through on a weekly basis. That phase was great but like all good things, it came to an end. As each year passes I have less and less time to listen to podcasts, I guess that’s what happens as you get older (like losing free time to listen to podcasts is such a growing pain lmao, you get what I’m saying though). Now, with the time I do have I really only listen to one podcast, and this week's guest is one of the co-hosts. Jason Stewart, also known as Them Jeans, is half of the bi-coastal elite podcast How Long Gone. Jason and his co-host, Chris Black, started their show during Covid out of what he calls “a quarantine boredom, don’t-know-what-to-do kind of thing.” With 3 episodes coming out per week, the pair have released 670 episodes in the span of four years, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. I started listening to the show about two years ago and have loved it ever since. I’m not going to go into details about the show or give a review on it because obviously I like it and you should just listen to it yourself. Here are Jason’s sixteen answers.
