Polished Falls Flat. Flawed Connects. | The Mortals

from The Mortals Hosted by Nathan Morris

Last week's show was rough. I fumbled. A lot. This week I figured out why. I overthought it. Weeks of treating my content like a math problem made it stiff and careful. My content got buns. Polished falls flat. I learned the fix in the funeral home years ago. When a family plans a service, they bring two kinds of pictures. The church directory photo. And the shoebox. People always stand in front of the shoebox. We also talked about The Comeback Room. I'm going to ask artists about the night they almost quit. First up is Julia Cole, night one of her Love You To Death Tour at Headliners in Louisville. Your homework: send the ugly text. The one you've rewritten nine times. Who's in your shoebox photo? If today feels heavy, call or text 988. Someone's there. The Mortals is live every Tuesday at 7pm ET on YouTube @nathanmorrismusic.
