On this episode, Weajue is joined by singer-songwriter Avery Friedman to walk through the tender terrain of her debut album, New Thing. What began as a private act of survival- writing songs alone in her room, quickly transformed into a full-bodied practice of vulnerability, expression, and queer joy.

We go track by track, unpacking the emotions and stories behind each song: from the aching stillness and reverb of “Biking Standing” to the flirty pop chaos of “Photo Booth.” Along the way, Avery opens up about what it means to try something new in adulthood, to face fear head-on, and to let your awkwardness guide you. Tune in to hear what this album has in store.
