Episode notes

Ovoll: I was always writing my own songs, although mostly they were silly. My mam started playing ave maria on the piano every day after she died. And i just really loved writing, but i didn't lieve that it could be a career. Ovoll's first band was signed by one of the members of fallboy, pete wens, when he was in high school. The group opened for them before their record went number one.

What would happen if the thing that defined you disappeared overnight? Whether it’s our job, our abilities, or output—many of us meld our identities with the things we do, and often forget who we are in the process. Greta Morgan is a writer and musician whose musical projects include Vampire Weekend, Springtime Carnivore, and Gold Motel. In 2020, Greta was diagnosed with a disorder that completely changed her ability to sing. In this episode, she shares what her vocal loss and recovery taught her about her inner voice, and how we might find our voice and resilience in both art and the creative process.
