  • My new fav ear candy

    I listen to a little bit of the show, then to the artist’s music, then a little more of the show… then more music. This show brings me all of the artists I need to hear… and their music. Inevitably, all of the guests on her show end up in my favs.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Margo Price
Q: What has being a board member at Farm Aid meant for you personally and professionally?
It's given me a platform to push for more women in leadership and to stay connected with veteran artists, while also using the role to influence decisions that support independent musicians and ensure diverse voices are represented.
Margo Price
Q: How has your approach to writing and performing evolved as you return to your roots?
I've leaned into the grounded sounds of folk, blues, and country, using them to tell personal stories while also exploring broader social themes; working with Jeremy remains central to our collaboration, but I'm also exploring new textures and keeping myself inspired.
Peaches
Q: What are you most looking forward to on the tour?
Peaches looks forward to performing in the United States and connecting with audiences, expressing hope that the tour goes smoothly and that the show resonates with people across generations while staying true to her message of empowerment.
Peaches
Q: What does feminism mean to you, and has that shifted over the years?
Peaches reframes feminism as a broader humanist, intersectional approach, emphasizing that true equality requires acknowledging power dynamics and not boxing women into outdated or exclusive narratives; she prefers calling herself an intersectional humanist to reflect a wider, inclusive view.
Sarah McLachlan
Q: What would you change in music for women, non-binary, trans folks, anyone who still doesn't have an equal voice?
I would change people's attitudes to see beauty in diversity and to recognize that it would be a very boring world if we were all the same.
