About this show
“Ky Newman is a content creator and producer on the podcast Emergency Intercom.” atlgrandma is the artist Liam Hall, a key figure in Los Angeles’s leftfield pop community: pensive, digitally curdled music that blends rock, rap, pop, and dance music in new absurdist ways.

Frequent collaborators include pop masterminds Lil Aaron and Y2K. Prior to LA, atlgrandma lived in the suburbs of Atlanta, where his family had resettled after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
