The Berman Project is a deep, soul-searching exploration of the life and art of David Berman — frontman of Silver Jews and Purple Mountains, and one of indie rock’s most profound voices.

Hosted by jD, each episode journeys chronologically through Berman’s music and poetry, blending song analysis, personal reflection, and raw introspection.

With honesty and vulnerability, jD bares his own struggles with grief, depression, and the pursuit of mental wellness, using Berman’s work as a companion and guide.

Alongside weekly dissections of a featured track, episodes also spotlight a poem from Berman’s celebrated collection, Actual Air, weaving together themes of sorrow, resilience, and the beauty of connection.

Part tribute, part therapy, The Berman Project nourishes the soul while honoring the enduring legacy of one of music’s most quietly influential artists.
