    Julien Baker: My Faith (Is The Fabric)

In this episode, Julien and Adia share about how their relationship to God and religion has influenced their music.

    Tré Burt: My Culture (My Identity)

    What happens when one artist’s work is read through the lens of another?

In this interview, Tré and Adia distinguish what it means to write from experience versus observation, share how working blue-collar jobs has fed their artistic careers, and remember the late, great John Prine.
