my guest for episode 489 is the amazing singer/songwriter, bonnie whitmore! bonnie is about to make a new album and needs your help so she started a pledgemusic campaign. check it out at pledgebonnie.com 25% of all donations go to planned parenthood. bonnie and i had a great conversation about naming her new album, fuck with sad girls, dealing with sexual abuse through music, the detrimental effects of growing up on disney movies, having a female support network, her electronic project, coyotes: life and after life (only available when you donate to her pledge campaign) and much, much more. i had a blast getting to know bonnie. i'm sure you will too. let's get down!
ciao! -jg
