The Origin of John Roderick

Last year, Brett Terpstra of Systematic interviewed John Roderick about how he became a professional musician. The conversation evolved into a compelling, serialized narrative that couldn’t be contained in not just one, nor two, nor even three episodes.

The resulting four-part epic was presented uninterrupted, with the exception of brief transitions from one chapter to the next. Think of The Origin of John Roderick as an improvisational book on tape, with each chapter recorded a few weeks apart.

Chapter 1: Time to Get Serious, Chapter 2: Amsterdam to Istanbul, Chapter 3: Sergeant-at-Arms, Chapter 4: Youth and Potential
