Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"Feminine, Marvelous And Tough" Using that line from the poet Ted Berrigan is the only way that Alex can describe what it was like to see Paula Cole play live in 1995. A spellbinding performer whose arresting and percussive approach to music was as refreshing as it was exciting, all these years later Paula Cole is still one of the most thrilling musicians in the business. The Massachusetts native's brand new album Revolution is a sonorous indictment of the dangers of silence and it urges us to speak out against injustice with empathy and heart. In this chat Paula talks to Alex about Margaret Atwood, being a woman in her fifties in the music business and why we always need to speak up. They also chat about punk rock, what to do with self-doubt and the beauty of The Sundays' "Here's Where The Story Ends."
