84: How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome – A Conversation with Jeremy Podgursky

Jeremy Podgursky’s compositions synthesize a deep awareness of the classical canon with sensibilities shaped while playing in indie rock bands, and his music has earned support from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Fromm Music Foundation Commission, the Copeland House Residency, the Mizzou New Music Festival, and elsewhere. In this episode, Jeremy shares how his persistent struggle against imposter syndrome ultimately pushed him to new creative heights, and we discuss political polarization, its corrosive effects on creative communities, and whether art for art’s sake can still be made.
