Rainy Days Podcast episode four features a conversation between host Danny Newcomb and Ann powers a music critic for NPR, a Seattle-grown music writer with two books, a myriad of essays and articles to her name, and a kind, sweet person who is a fierce advocate for new music and a challenger (in the best rock and roll spirit) of convention and limitations in the voicing of the American soul.
