Basic Folk Presents: The Other 22 Hours - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Editor’s note: Basic Folk is pleased to introduce our listeners to one of our favorite podcasts by sharing an episode in our feed! The ​Other ​22 ​hours, ​hosted ​by ​singer/songwriter Michaela ​Ann ​and ​producer ​Aaron Shafer-Haisse, talks to fellow musicians ​about ​the helpful ​tools ​and ​routines the use ​to ​stay ​creative, ​inspired, ​and ​sane ​while ​navigating ​a ​career ​built ​on ​their ​art. ​The ​thing ​I ​like ​about ​this ​podcast ​is ​that ​these ​conversations ​are ​between ​musicians. ​They're ​very ​real. The ​musicians ​share ​insights ​that ​go ​beyond normal ​bio ​questions. They ​talk ​about ​things ​that ​can ​actually ​translate ​into ​non ​musicians' ​lives. ​They ​dive ​in ​deep ​right ​from ​the ​start. ​I ​came ​across ​this ​podcast when ​they ​interviewed ​Leyla ​McCalla ​and ​was ​blown ​away ​by ​that ​conversation. ​Some ​other ​favorites ​have ​been ​William ​Prince, ​Gretchen ​Peters. ​Today ​we're ​going ​to ​share ​their ​conversation ​with ​Mary ​Chapin ​Carpenter. ​I ​hope ​you ​enjoy ​and ​subscribe ​and ​follow ​and ​support ​Aaron ​and ​Michaela ​on ​The ​Other ​22 ​hours.
