Mishka Shubalymishkashubaly.podbean.com
The prolonged isolation of COVID has taught me that I really have some incredible friends: novelists, memoirists, poets, musicians, songwriters, comedians, painters and so on. Also, I am terrible at keeping in touch with them. These conversations will be part catch-up with my friends (some of whom I haven’t spoken to in years) about our addictions and/or sobriety, our mental health struggles, and the challenges of the creative life. And these will be in-depth explorations of their work, how they work, what inspires them, and what’s coming next. Yes, I’m a writer and musician, but I’m a fan first. These are artists and people I love, and it’s my honor to share them with you.

You Gotta Try to Bleed - remembering Mark Lanegan

We lost Mark Lanegan a year ago today. I'd be hard-pressed to name another artist who has affected me as deeply. He was also a great friend of mine. I thought I'd start out addressing a couple of questions from other fans so I wouldn't spend the whole time just talking about my fancy feelings and then ended up spending most of the time on the questions. Oh well, I managed to squeak my fancy little feelings in at the end. Thanks for listening. Please take a minute to rate and review the podcast o...
