2/12/2014 - This is a story she did for This American Life and it won the Gold Prize at the Third Coast Audio Festival, which was incredibly exciting. She learned how to write a break-up song to get over her break-up. The story is about heartbreak and wallowing and sadness and how songs make you stay sad, but in a good way. I hope you like it.
