September 25, 2025 Cultivating Wonder w/Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs
Join You're Going to Die: The Podcast host Ned Buskirk in conversation with Merrill Garbus of tUnE‑yArDs. Consider this a raw & honest invitation to step into the complexity of aliveness, even when it's hopeless, & burst into your own unique song. MUSIC AS MEDICINE: it doesn’t distract, but activate, so that we can feel all the things, hold them wholly, even when they're in conflict, & maybe breathe a little more freely on the other side of the catharsis of a siren scream.
