Stereo Embers The Podcast 0098: Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses, 50 Foot Wave)

“Kristin Hersh Makes Me Feel Better About My Birthday”

It’s not easy turning…22. Okay, 49, but what really takes the sting out of the advancing years is a conversation with Kristin Hersh on your birthday. Alex welcomes the singer/songwriter back to the podcast on his birthday and the two get right to it, chatting about life, family, art and survival. They cover Hersh’s perspective on the Throwing Muses, why you should always separate the artist from the art and the rigors of the music industry. A spirited, lively and hilarious chat, Hersh is one of the most entertaining, brilliant and engaging people to talk to and this interview is filled with laughs, insight and conversational momentum.
