Lucy Dacus: “The goal isn’t to work enough that you can stop - it’s to find work you want to keep doing forever.”

from Airing Your Dirty Laundry · host Daphne Berry

In this episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry, Daphne Berry sits down with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus for an expansive and deeply personal conversation about art, memory, love, perfectionism, and what success really feels like from the inside.Known for her thoughtful lyricism and steady presence - both as a solo artist and as one-third of boygenius - Lucy reflects on accidentally becoming a musician after once working in photography editing school photos, and whether she ever romanticises the life she might have lived outside of music.From touring solo versus performing in a globally celebrated group, to what returning to her own stage taught her about identity and independence, Lucy opens up about creative freedom, collaboration, and the subtle shifts that happen when you step back into yourself.Created by Daphne BerryProduced by Daphne Berry and Imogen RennieCamera Crew: Machine StudiosSound Crew: Dylan Mitchell FrostEditing: Daphne BerryMusic: ReviloIllustrations: Joe Neathway BrownLogo: Samuel BurchfieldFilmed on location at The Tumble Club, WaterlooThis episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry was filmed on Gadigal Country.
