The complete Fingers interview archive

Welcome to the complete Fingers interview archive. There’s probably a better way to put all my interviews in one place using Substack (the platform on which you’re reading these words) but I don’t know how to do that. So instead, here’s a list of links to all the interviews I’ve published for Fingers. Articles are ordered most-to-least recent, and I’ll update whenever I publish a new interview.
