Interview: Ani DiFranco

from KGNU Music Hosted by KGNU Music

Ani DiFranco joined DJ Jules for a conversation about her recent transition from a six-month run in Hadestown on Broadway back to the open-ended freedom of touring her own music. She talks about the challenges of performing a scripted role every night, the joy of returning to improvisation on stage, and how these experiences inform her ongoing creative work, including her forthcoming record The Telepathy Tapes and the development of her own musical. Ani also reflects on the importance of metaphor in songwriting, the search for stillness and connection in a distracted world, and the balance of parenting with her life as an artist. She’ll bring her trademark honesty, wit, and spontaneity to Colorado when she performs on September 10th at Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder. (Interview: 8/19/25)
