‘WTTS In Conversation’ is a bi-weekly podcast delivering decades of WTTS interviews with music legends and emerging artists.
For Episode #62, Crystal McKenzie talked with Dave Depper of Death Cab for Cutie around the time of their show in Indy last month. They spoke about his early career, as well as his first gig playing with Ray Lamontagne, which happened to be The Late Show with David Letterman, a show he ended up playing again with Death Cab for Cutie just before Letterman retired. He also spoke about his passion for running which he shares with Death Cab founder and frontman Ben Gibbard, and how it got him the gig with the band.
