Hey everyone. Welcome to These Are My Friends. This is a music podcast where I talk to friends and family and learn what’s important to them in their musical lives. What songs, bands, or albums set their brain on fire.

This is my friend Alex who I gratefully reconnected with after just being caught up in our own lives for a few years. He shares some really important ways that music can help someone clarify their emotional self even if that's not something they always want to do around other people.

These Are My Friends grew out of a music newsletter I write called ⁠Here to Listen⁠. You can also catch Here to Listen on community radio in Southern Vermont on 107.7 FM in Brattleboro and online at ⁠wvew.org⁠ every Sunday at 12pm EST.
