Amanda Palmer steps into the studio with us while on tour for her new courageously honest album, There Will Be No Intermission. We go deep into a truly vulnerable discussion on The Art of Asking for support for our art, our parenting and everything else. She profoundly reminds us why abortion access is so critical to helping us build healthy families. We play you two of her songs in the theme of parenting- and so much more juiciness in this episode! Amanda Palmer started her artistic career as a street performer in all white, giving flowers and eye contact to passers-by in exchange for tips. She was one half of the rock n roll meets cabaret band - the Dresden Dolls- and has since created a whole gaggle of solo albums in her unique witty circusy theatrical performance style with piano and ukulele. Her latest release is called There Will Be No Intermission and it feels like a friend singing to you that its all going to be okay even if it isn’t- because we have each other to hold on to. She is also called the patron saint of crowdfunding and wrote a magnificent book called The Art of Asking on, well, asking for money for our art and asking for help for everything else. She and her partner Neil Gaiman have a toddler son and she is currently on the road for the new album.
