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. Episode Summary Mary Chapin Carpenter is an 18x Grammy nominated, 5x Grammy winning, 6x platinum-selling singer-songwriter with over 16 albums and decades of touring so far in her career. We talk with Mary Chapin about her songwriting process, including her need for solitude and her practice of "song walking," we talk about how she still faces rejection even with all of her accolades and commercial success, how common and easy it is to personalize mistreatment from people in power (and how to combat that), and much more on this very candid final episode of Season 1.

There's a certain magic that happens when musicians are given the space to talk not just about their craft, but about the life that feeds it. That's the heart of Basic Folk, a series of conversations that feel more like catching up with an old friend than a formal interview. Hosts Cindy Howes and Lizzie No bring a genuine curiosity and easy warmth to each episode, creating an environment where artists often share stories and insights they might not elsewhere. Since 2018, this podcast has carved out a vital niche, actively seeking to honor and platform the incredible, sometimes under-the-radar, voices within the roots music world. You'll find a beautifully diverse tapestry of sound and experience here, from technical wizards and Grammy-winners like Molly Tuttle to culturally pivotal figures like Leyla McCalla, all united by their connection to folk music's expansive tradition. Produced by The Bluegrass Situation, each episode digs into the personal journeys, creative struggles, and quiet triumphs that shape the music. It’s less about celebrity and more about substance, offering listeners a chance to intimately understand the people behind the songs. Tune in for thoughtful, humorous and deeply human dialogues that remind you why folk music, in all its forms, remains a powerful force for storytelling and connection.
