In this episode, I get to meet Rainer Maria front-woman, Caithlin de Marrais. Caithlin has had a long career with the beloved band Rainer Maria, including a surprise reunion in 2014, which ultimately led to their first new record in 10 years, S/T, in 2017. In this chat, Caithlin and I discuss Rainer Maria's history as well as their impact. We also discuss the act of being vulnerable on stage, what it means to truly allow yourself to delight in the things that delight you, as well as her new sojourn to becoming a music teacher.

In this episode, I get to meet Shearwater frontman, Jonathan Meiburg. In this free-flowing and open chat, which Jonathan was nice enough to join me for between recording sessions, we discuss the projects he's been occupying his time with in quarantine, whether that be working on a new Shearwater record, finishing a record for his other band Loma, or putting the last touches on his long-in-the-works book, which he describes as being a natural history epic. We also talk about creativity in this time of quarantine, and what the future of the touring life might look like. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening.
