All of us wants all of Sufjan Stevens – 'Carrie & Lowell' with Jared Richards

This fortnight, we're joined by Jared Richards,  a cultural critic living on Gadigal land, and writer for NME, The Guardian, The Big Issue, Sissy Screens and more.

Last year, Jared wrote a beautiful article on the evolution of Sufjan Stevens that caught our queer eye, so we welcomed him into the studio (pre-second Sydney lockdown) to unpack the mystery and intrigue surrounding a long-awaited Aural Fixation topic.

We talk grief and catharsis (or lack there of), Lady Gaga's aunt, and the romance wank of Call Me By Your Name. It's all queer.

Our big gay thanks to Anthony Garvin and the team at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney. 
 
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land this podcast episode was recorded on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
