Nina Nepa is a songwriter and musician from Pittsburgh who is currently based in Los Angeles. We get into her songwriting process, and I ask her specifically about three songs so that she can break them down for us. (I link to those in the show notes.) You're going to find one of her stories especially touching.

Here's the description of this band that I lifted from their Bandcamp page:  A little bit gothic, a little bit neo-30's, and just a little bit weird, they dazzle and delight with every song.

Carrie and Adam were kind enough to talk with me for this episode, and they were delightful.  You'll enjoy getting to know them.
