    Child Loss and Grief - A Conversation with Ben Kweller and Rocky Votolato

    Ben Kweller, Rocky Votolato and I are members of a club that we didn't ask to join, don't want to be in, and can never leave. All three of us lost children suddenly and unexpectedly - Ben lost Dorian on February 27, 2023, Rocky lost Kienan on December 6, 2021, and I lost Liv on June 4, 2018.Hopefully, by the three of us sharing our stories, we can offer insights into what it's like to lose a child and provide some sort of hope for new and old members of this club. My deepest and sincerest thanks to Ben and Rocky for joining me and for sharing their stories. Songs featured in this episode: "Shattered Stars" by Rocky Votolato "Oh Dorian" by Ben Kweller (featuring MJ Lenderman) "Star String Radio" by Rocky Votolato "Olivia Midnight" by Paper Airplane

    Michigander's debut, self-titled full-length album is packed full of hooky earworms with insatiable choruses that you'll be singing along with the first time you hear the songs. Michigander's Jason Singer is one of the greatest humans I've ever had the chance to chat with - and this is the third time we've had this opportunity. We talk about songwriting, working with co-writers, social media and podcasts in this episode. https://www.michiganderband.com/ https://breakerbox.podbean.com/ https://www.instagram.com/chipmidnight_journalist/
