Why Not Both

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer.  For our second season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. We were fortunate to get to chat with Lane Moore, who is the definition of a multi-hyphenate talent. Writer of How To Be Alone, singer of It Was Romance and brilliant host of Tinder Live which is exactly as surreal and hilarious as it sounds. She is currently hosting Tinder Live every night at 8pm EST on Twitch to keep us all company so we highly recommend you tune in as we couldn’t stop laughing throughout our whole interview.
