Lauren Minear, a singer/songwriter from upstate NY.

Lauren released her debut album, Invisible Woman, in October this year with a sold-out launch show at the Red Room in Manhattan.

The album explores womanhood and the role of a mother in the modern world. Lauren was inspired to make the album after having her second child just as the pandemic started and navigating the difficulties of motherhood/postpartum depression during that strange time.

Lauren's story is a fascinating one; raised in Nashville, graduated from Yale, worked in Finance in NY, trained as a psychotherapist, is a mother to 2 boys, now pursuing a career in music and building real momentum.

The incomparable Nick Hail calls in from South Africa to discuss his latest hit single ('Anime Girl') and the events that led to him winning "Best African Actor" at the Continental Film Awards!!

Nick hosts a great podcast, too - shoutout to "Enter the Muse".

Nick is releasing 2 singles per month for the months of November, December and January - he will then release a compilation EP of said singles on February 20th, 2022.

That date marks the anniversary of his older brother's passing. We get into how that situation has affected his life ever since, as well as what it has meant to this musical endeavour.

I always love talking with Nick - he is a very thoughtful guy and has a very unique take on the arts and creation!

I am sure you'll enjoy this talk!

PS - stick around for the end of the show where we spin 'Anime Girl'.
