Episode 1 - The Opera Camp that Trauma Bonded Us

from Keep Me Young · host Blake Jennings & Heather Jones

HEY Y’ALL and welcome to the very first episode of Keep Me Young, a podcast for anyone who has ever pretended to know about a meme/celebrity/band/video game console twitter fiasco in order to keep a conversation moving and seem like a Cool Girl™️. In this episode, Blake and Heather revisit the fateful summer of 2015 when they first met at opera camp. Famously, Blake almost died swimming across a lake but Heather hung off a canoe to save him, Titanic style. They do a deep dive (pun absolutely intended) into the world of young artist programs aka adult summer camps, and how being an opera singer is a perfect career path if you fantasize about a fin dom who tells you exactly what to do with your body/voice/one wild and precious life. Today’s topics also include our weekly segments of what’s keeping us young and what’s aging us, along with how there aren’t any good slurs left because milennials ruined them, Glee, attachment styles, coming out later in life, growing up in the South, Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man, and Kelly Clarkson’s covers that have no business being that good. Great news for OG Jake Blennings fans is that Depression Meal Mondays is BACK, baybee, and each week we’ll share our own depresh meals plus listener submissions!
