Dear BalladeerThe perfect song for your predicament Author: Sadie Gustafson-Zook
Ever listen to the right song at the right moment and think, "Man, I want to talk to whoever wrote this song!" Well now you can! Dear Balladeer is here to blend the genres of advice podcast with interviews from up-and-coming folk and folk-adjacent musicians! The premise behind Dear Balladeer is that you write in your anonymous advice submissions and I (songwriter and musician, Sadie Gustafson-Zook) band together with my musician friends to find a song to go with that predicament. I then talk with the songwriter about the context for their song and have them weigh in on your advice submission! My Patreon members also get an exclusive extended cut with a more in-depth chat with the songwriter about their writing process! To submit your own quandary, fill out the anonymous link in the Instagram bio for @dear_balladeer!

Flowers Growing Out of Sh**: Making Art When The World is Falling Apart with Luke Concannon
Monday, 10 June, 2024
S2E5: On this, the 5th episode of the second season (and perhaps the last- we’re taking a TBD break), I have the pleasure of talking with Luke Concannon, New England-based, Old England-grown singer-songwriter and community builder. We talk about spirituality, finding hope in the midst of turmoil, creativity, and meaning-making, framed around his song Coventry. Thanks to everyone who has been on the podcast and everyone who has listened! I’ve had fun, and I’m ready for a break :) Check out all the prior episodes at dearballadeer.captivate.fm/.
