In episode 224 of the ArTEEtude podcast, host Detlef Schlich engages in a captivating conversation with the return guest, Julia Melser. Julia, an energetic singer in the punk rock band called Erection, shares insights into her journey, reflecting on the fast pace of life, the impact of aging on perception of time, and her personal and creative growth. The discussion delves into Julia's experiences with ADHD, her remarkable achievement of over 660 days of sobriety, and the therapeutic nature of songwriting during emotional highs and lows. Her music, influenced by the '80s punk scene, serves as a medium for expressing darker themes and personal struggles, offering a form of self-therapy. Julia also discusses her involvement in education, working with immigrant children aged 13 to 15, helping them integrate and learn the German language. This role highlights her commitment to social issues and her desire to make a positive impact on the world. The episode touches on the challenges of staying sober in the punk scene, the transformative power of music, and the unique energy and connection Julia feels while performing without the influence of alcohol. The conversation concludes with plans for a follow-up episode to address listener questions and continue exploring Julia's multifaceted life and career.
