Morag Wehrle on Not Selling Yourself Short, Writing, Post-Partum Depression, and Blending History with Memoir

For their last interview of the season, Alex and Karen are joined by writer Morag Wehrle to talk all about the non-fiction memoir she is currently working on that centres around postpartum depression - connecting her own experience with that of a woman from the late 19th century who was institutionalized for the same condition. They discuss how the project came to be and the serendipitous nature of it; from the circumstances that led to Morag working on the book to her incredibly varied backlog of careers and passions that came together to aid in her research. Morag gives so much insight into her creativity and together they cover so many aspects of the creative practice, like creative biases and continuing to learn and explore in adulthood. … Follow Morag @morag.tells.stories [https://www.instagram.com/morag.tells.stories?igsh=MXA1NmJ2N3E3N2h1cQ==] … Follow us on instagram @vicarious.pod [https://www.instagram.com/vicarious.pod/] Have any questions or topics you want to hear us discuss?

Em Postl and Thomas Hoeller on Streams, Improvisation, and Working with Poetry

Alex and Karen chat with musicians Em Postl and Thomas Hoeller about Streams Poetry Project, their music collaboration that transforms poetry through vocals and guitar. They give an in-depth look into the natural evolution of this project over the last 8 years, from the organic formation of the project that began with some improvisation over a book of poetry by Rumi, to their current focus of working with more local poets and getting their songs recorded. They examine their love of stream-of-consciousness style improvisation (which informed the name of the project); how they vibe off of one another; and how using intuition rather than intellectualizing their source material has allowed them to explore and give new life to works that they love.  … Follow Em @moonseedherbals [https://www.instagram.com/moonseedherbals?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Follow Thomas @thomasjhoeller [https://www.instagram.com/thomasjhoeller?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Follow Streams @streamspoetryproject [https://www.instagram.com/streamspoetryproject?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Check out their website www.streamspoetryproject.com [https://www.streamspoetryproject.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY8A0Hwy6yb4gcU30N3a3jN9Xy0qREOIgCEFFEZQ3zYOt4HQx1aAqviiQk_aem_AccEJHDguhNTtvJc7mq_ZclMTz14RMe4bE691aIK2csgg6yyQuefwtSA4z2XkisxpIAf8FDEGO3PLghhnSPwv8_z] … Follow us on instagram @vicarious.pod [https://www.instagram.com/vicarious.pod/] Have any questions or topics you want to hear us discuss?
