A SHERO’s Journey: Jenny Owen Youngs

A decade after self-releasing her third LP, An Unwavering Band of Light, the singer, hit songwriter, and hit podcast host (Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure, The eX-Files), Jenny Owen Youngs recently returned to release her gorgeous new album of "Jennysongs" Avalanche. In this episode, she sits down with host Carmel Holt for a fascinating conversation about her journey thus far, what the highly productive past ten years between albums has taught her, and traces the pivotal moment when everything opened up in her career and songwriting back to when she opened up publicly about her queer identity.
