This episode is jam-packed and full of goodies! Including meditations on the podcast — why it exists, what it's trying to do — and an announcement about what we're doing next, and reprised episode with Aimee Mann.
I adore this episode, it was an honor to have her on One Sweet Dream, and she was full of stellar insights and observations about the band's dynamics — drawing on her own experiences working in bands, collaborations, and as a solo artist.
In late 2022, Aimee was voted as one of the top ten greatest female songwriters of all time by American Songwriter Magazine readers: https://americansongwriter.com/american-songwriter-readers-vote-greatest-female-songwriters-of-all-time/
