    Chris Smither has been writing, performing, and touring his music for over sixty years. From the blues clubs of New Orleans to the 1960's folk revolution in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to touring around the world with the likes of B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt, Chris has seen it all (and written songs about most of it). I caught up with him before a recent gig at The Turning Point in New York to find out what he's learned from six decades of reinventing himself.

  • Cristen Conger: Elephant Ears
    Nov 8 2023
    Cristen Conger has been podcasting since 2009, when she co-created "Stuff Mom Never Told You" while working as a staff writer at How Stuff Works. These days, she hosts the Webby-winning podcast Unladylike, where she examines thorny cultural dilemmas through a deft mix of storytelling, investigative reporting, and interviews. It's an audio haven of empathy and curiosity. On today's show, Cristen tells the story of how her upbringing in a strict religious environment - where curiosity wasn't always welcome - created the foundation for her spirit of exploration.
