Monologue

R&B/HIp-Hop artist Houston Kendrick is on the pod today.

Lindsey Sweat (Trella) talks her experience as a PK (pastor’s kid), how the faith community and music were always intertwined, how she bullied Corey Kilgannon in high school, her journey from a worship writer to a pop artist, and more.

Titling this episode “simple messy thoughts with Jordan.” I think I maybe got to one of my questions for Jordan (@jordanshamilton), and I think that’s what makes this ep so great. Enjoy our existential convo.

Calah Mikal Caballero (@calahmikal) is a songwriter, artist, and a school counselor, and just has such a strong sense of self and a beautiful perspective on music, identity, Nashville, and more. Longest interview to date & I think it's worth every second!

It always comes back to Nala’s sex eyes with these two. My One Tree Hill girls Addison Durham (@addison.w.durham) & Mary Kate O’Boyle (@marykate.oboyle) rejoin me for a surprise movie review ep! We discuss the live action Lion King — the good and the bad.

First non-explicit episode (lol) with the joyous Emily Wyant (@em.wyant)!!! Emily and I met at school and have continued our friendship post grad via co-writing and obnoxious bits. She always puts me in a better mood and reminds me that life is beautiful.

My first industry mentor, dear friend, and overall badass Hannah Boren (@hannahboren) is on Monologue today!

Austin Schulenburg (@penandmug) is in the houz today! Austin is a graphic designer — most recently he designed the killer Live On The Green Festival (@liveonthegreen) announcements — and we discuss side hustles, branding methods and more.

Guyssss my seester (@mallory_moser) and our pal Maria LaMagna (@mclamagna) are on the pod today!!! Mallory performs with @backtrackvocals and Maria writes for @marketwatch and runs her passion project @wearecropped on the side.

Brielle Sebold (@briellesebold), the poet-who-didn’t-know-it, is my second interview. We talk about education, Nashville’s at time frustrating creative culture, the vulnerability of writing and sharing, and more.

Surprise ep! First repeat guest! Emma Germano (@emmagermano) and I review Booksmart (@booksmart), praising its stylistic choices, the music supervision, its representation, and of course, its many humorous moments.

My first interview is with Jay Ragsdale of Brave Town. We talked about the propensity of musician’s to be selfish with their work, women in the church, homosexuality and Christianity, and what led to their newest EP The Death of a Dream.

It’s the Season 1 finale!!! The last show we analyze is Parks & Recreation. Holland Brown (@hollandbrown) joins me to talk about our GOT predictions, shows that inspired P&R and of course, the characters and relationships on one of our favorite shows.

In the penultimate episode of Season 1, we analyze One Tree Hill through the lens of the Enneagram. I am joined by Mary Kate O'Boyle (@marykate.oboyle) & Addison Durham (addison.w.durham).

The second show we analyze through the Enneagram lens is NBC’s The Office. Meredith Roman (@meredithroman) joins me to discuss our favorite characters (and our least favorite characters), quiz each other on deep tracks, and impersonate every character.

Introducing Season 1 of Monologue: TV Shows & The Enneagram! The first show we analyze is the beloved Gilmore Girls. Emma Germano and I go through each characters' type and look into some key relationship dynamics as well.

The first episode of Monologue is here! For this first stand-alone ep, my friend & producer Dylan Byrnes and I sip on some Chardonnay and talk about the album we made with Zach Hughes and Andrew Conner.

This lil intro ep gives you an idea of what Monologue is all about.
