      I agree. Usually, if I'm listening to a podcast and there is music, I skip the music. I didn't skip anything with this. Everything was enjoyable.

    this whole interview and concert is so beautiful and moving; Julien has such a brilliant mind, and an eloquent way of capturing deep emotional truths, whether through songs or speech. I'm so happy to see her well and exploring new horizons after what's seemed to have been a rough couple years, but a lot of personal growth and healing 🖤 I love that for her, and I love new JB music for all of us.
    I also loved Julien and Cheryl's discussion on her pursuing education of some kind down the line, and would 100% sign up for a Julien Baker MasterClass

    +++ to Cheryl for not only being a great interviewer but also managing to direct things back to playing the music, because I think I would just talk to Julien for like 5 hours. I realize it's her job and she's good at it, but ...yeah I'm pretty sure I'd just get into a conversation about things like epistemological elitism for as long as she wanted to tbh.

    I first saw Julien perform on Tiny Desk I believe around of after the release of Sprained Ankle. I was absolutely captivated by that performance and have loosely followed her musical ventures, many times via KEXP, since then.
    That said, I did not hear anything about this turbulent time that the new album is a reflection on. This interview is stunningly bare and direct and honest. The music is great as well - but this conversation sheds light on the kind of struggles we all confront but often don’t share or try not to acknowledge.
    Thank you KEXP and JB for bringing us all the beautiful music and also the humble/human discussion around a difficult subject and personal struggle by a truly gifted songwriter and musician.

      literally googled to make sure whether it was epistemic or epistemologic (which are related, either could have gone in the sentence, but i didn't remember the word epistemic bc we talked a lot about the privileging and especially the gendering of epistemology in college, which is what happens when you kind of force-make yourself a queer studies major when that major doesn't exist at your school) and she's totally right and also i want to talk to her about it for like 5 years.

Don't know if she'll ever join us, but here's hoping smart people continue to be called to teaching, in greater numbers, so that the profession can be elevated. In the meantime... these songs are sounding so good, I'm imagining (dreaming) how good they'd sound live in a concert hall.
