    The Maine on joy, fatherhood & community

    This week, we’re down in Nashville with The Maine’s John O'Callaghan and Pat Kirch talking about what it’s really been like growing up in a band for almost 20 years, more or less. From touring as dads to building the kind of community that keeps fans coming back generation after generation (shout-out 8123 family), this episode is all about belonging and connection. Pat and John open up about making their 10th album, Joy Next Door, a record that pushed them to slow down in new ways. This conversation is a reminder that joy often lives in the little moments, even right next door. 🔗 More or Less Links: Follow us on social media by clicking ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rate & subscribe to our show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗 The Maine Links: Stay connected with The Maine ⁠here⁠.Credits: 🎙 Hosted by Jessica McDevitt 🎛 Produced by Remy Hernandez
