(Thanks for the help on this one, Dodie!). It’s become a tradition to remark on how wild it is that we’re starting a new season, but the truth of that has not waned one bit. Having a space and a platform to showcase a wide spectrum of ideas, perspectives, and walks of life feels more vital than ever and after all these years I still get an immense level of joy at getting to share these stories with you — especially the stories of returning guests, which is the case with Wallis Bird.
Wallis was a guest back in season 6, where we released episodes that were focused on specific countries (with that episode being about her adopted home of Germany). Ever since that chat, I knew I had to have Wallis back on for a longer chat and I couldn’t be more excited to share this one with you. Wallis is a singer-songwriter from Ireland who loves to approach art with a perpetual sense of whimsy. That whimsy is directly tied to her empathy, her curiosity about the human experience, and most importantly: having fun.
