Back with the first episode of November, Nate walks through the songs he selected on his ballot for 88.5 WXPN’s community curated countdown, the 885 Greatest Songs by Women. Then, Nate sits down for an incredible chat with multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer, Rachel Ana Dobken. They talk about her new video for her song “Cruel, Cruel, Cruel,” growing up in New Jersey, her dad’s jazz career in college, learning the guitar, how music theory at Bard College solidified her desire to make music her life, the Talent Day performance in high school, writing her first song, overcoming stage fright, anxiety and panic attacks, changing the narrative on what it means to die, having hard conversations with loved ones before it’s too late, singing personal songs live, leaving college and pursuing music full time, how her sound has evolved since her first album When It Happens to You, recording her new album Acceptance, releasing music in the social media age and the Content Conundrum. Then, Rachel braves The Jawntlet!
