Our weekly podcast includes in-depth analysis of the new records we find extraordinary, exciting, and just plain terrible, as well as interviews with some of our favorite artists. This week, Editor-in-Chief Puja Patel hosts the singer-songwriter supergroup Boygenius: Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. In between lots of laughter and a few near-tears, the band chats about their imminent debut album, The Record, how they hold each other up as friends and collaborators, and why the idea of “sad girl” indie rock is pretty much bullshit.
