Episode 122: My Friend Phoebe Bridgers - a podcast by David James Young

Growing up on the outskirts of LA, Phoebe Bridgers never had a specific moment where she decided to become a musician - truth be told, it was second nature. It wasn't long after Bridgers picked up a guitar that she was performing around town to an ever-increasing audience, eventually landing her slots on the road with everyone from Julien Baker to the Violent Femmes. She's been winning hearts and drawing out tears from her audience ever since, not only with her remarkable 2017 debut but also her collaborative EP as a part of Boygenius in 2018. With a brief moment of downtime on her first-ever Australian tour, Bridgers gave a quick guided tour through her musical endeavours, past and present.

NB: There is no mention or discussion of the New York Times article Phoebe was quoted in during this podcast. This was recorded the day before the article was published.
