Prose and Songs episodes

  • Housekeeping

    Rebekah updates everyone on her time spent away, and shares her priorities moving forward, including with this podcast. 

    21 min
  • Tahira West
    Rebekah sits down with Tahira West and the two talk about Tahira's experience growing up in America as a black woman from Trinidad/Tobago and the differences between those two cultures, about writing (and dating) as a single mother, the joys of living in multi-cultural communities, and about how we need to name what's going on if we're going to fix it, whether that be interpersonally or societally.
    1 hr 22 min
  • Ty Bush
    Ty Bush returns to the pod to discuss the events of recent weeks with Rebekah, who has a lot of thoughts. The two discuss the insurrection, polarization and how to hear and value where the “other side” is coming from, how to avoid dehumanization, censorship, and THE ALGORITHM and technology. It’s a lot, frankly, but it’s fascinating stuff. We’re living through some major historical events right now and we had to talk about it before diving into the new season of interviews.

  • Holiday Jam Session, songs only

    Rebekah and some friends "got together" to record these songs one weekend. Due to the time constraints, it feels like a live performance (complete with a weird buzz on the first verse of Sister Winter) which is appropriate since ideally, hopefully, the Holiday Jam Session will be a live show in the future.


    Merry, Baby (by Rebekah Kay): guitar and vocals by Rebekah, hand percussion by Phil Lofton

    It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (traditional): guitar and vocals by Rebekah, electric guitar by Dustin Sendejas, Rhodes by Bethany Johnson

    Sister Winter (Sufjan Stevens): guitar, vocals and synths by Rebekah, hand percussion by Phil Lofton

    'tis the damn season (Taylor Swift): guitars and vocals by Rebekah, drums and vocals by Steffen Yazvac

    Holding on to Hope (by Rebekah Kay): guitar, vocals, and "beats" by Rebekah, synths by Bethany Johnson
