  • Could be so much better

    I want to love this show but it still feels amateurish after 4 years. The guests and topics are great but the structure is lacking and most episodes just sound like random people rambling. I think some script writing and maybe another host would help so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tove Lo
Q: What was the creative process like for shaping the core themes of Estrus?
The process shifted from a chaotic early phase to a more deliberate approach after returning to a place that felt emotionally triggering; this allowed me to write with honesty about love, insecurity, and growth, while also experimenting with form and language to keep the storytelling fresh and personal.
Tove Lo
Q: What are you listening to lately, and does it influence your current project?
I'm listening to a mix of my own catalog while touring, plus artists like Slater and Frank Ocean, which helps me connect different emotional tones to fit into the Estrus world rather than chasing a specific sound.
Drew Seeley
Q: So to kick off this podcast, Drew, why don't you hit us with kind of the backstory behind this new album?
Drew explains that he kept writing and recording, let his family priorities guide him, and now decided to release a throwback album that ties together old material with new, effectively balancing nostalgia with fresh creative energy.
Debbii Dawson
Q: What role does production play in your artistry as a woman in a field where female producers are underrepresented?
She emphasizes empowerment through knowledge and tool access, arguing that producing is about ideas and storytelling, not about gatekeeping based on gender.
Debbii Dawson
Q: How does your approach to a new unreleased track differ when performing it live versus recording it?
Debbii notes concerns about live versus studio versions but expresses excitement about evolving the song in studio while staying honest to the live energy she's built.
