- Music Interviews
Jenny Owen Youngs! Jenny is an indie pop songwriter, queer icon and podcast host. I am thrilled to have her on Basic Folk! Her new EP, Night Shift, is out now (November 15) and we talk about it and all of her whole life in our conversation. From her young life in rural New Jersey to space camp (where she wished for more space and less camp) to coming out in a very public way in 2012. Jenny is a sweet, funny and caring person, and we really get into what makes her tick in this episode.
Jenny's been on my radar since 2005 with her debut Batten The Hatches and she's released two full length albums since then and a handful of EPs. In recent years, Jenny's created this amazing community along with Kristin Russo with their podcast, "Buffering The Vampire Slayer," that goes through commentary about each episode of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and includes an original song by Jenny at the end of each podcast. Her other podcast, "Veronica Mars Investigations," is hosted by herself and Helen Zaltzman.
