55. Soft as Chalk, Part 1

A Hopeless Endeavor: A Joanna Newsom Podcast

Come join our discussion on goats, theodicies, and some good old fashioned righteous anger. Thank you SO MUCH to Rachana for a truly *breathtaking* cover of Soft as Chalk that we’ve included at the end of the episode. Be sure to listen to it. We promise that it’s worth it. As always, our profound gratitude goes out to Blessing All the Birds writers, Melissa Marturano and Rachel Parent. Here is a link to an article of theirs that we discuss in one of the Soft as Chalk episodes: https://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/1092411853/when-bear-stepped-clear-of-bear/amp. Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for the audio processing and for the sick beats. Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true.

We are @ahopelessendeavorpodcast on Instagram, and we’re on Facebook too. “So, so long ago, and so far away, when Time was just a line that you fed me when you wanted to stay, we’d talk as soft as chalk till morning came, pale as a pearl: No time! No time! Now, I have got all the time in the world.”
