Season 3 Finale: What 13 Conversations Taught Me About Music and Grief
This season began in grief.

My father died on New Year's Day. A few weeks later I sat down with the first guest of Season 3 and asked him what music had taught him about being human. I listened the way you listen when the question is also yours.

That's how every conversation this season went.

  • Neither Could Dylan: Why Many Musicians Limit Themselves and How to Break Free
    Neither Could Dylan blends rock, punk, and folk into something entirely his own. In this Season 3 finale, Jamie shares how a pandemic hobby became a full creative practice, and how self-production and learning new instruments helped him break through the limits he'd put on his own sound.
  • Robin Vincent: Modular Synths, Hardware Culture & Why Building Sound by Hand Keeps Us Sane
    In this episode of Come Back to Earth, I reflect on the grounding power of having something small you can control — a dial, a cable, a circuit — when the rest of life feels unpredictable.

    I then sit down with music technology veteran and journalist Robin Vincent to talk about modular synthesis, hardware culture, and why building electronic music by hand keeps people curious, engaged, and sane.

    This conversation explores tactile creativity, community, and the difference between scrolling presets and crafting sound from scratch. It also asks a bigger question: In an era of instant generation, what do we lose — and what do we gain — when we stop building things ourselves?
  • Elle Indigo: From Poetry to Music
    Elle Indigo has been finding words for things most people leave unnamed. She started in poetry, the private kind, written for no one in particular. Then the words started needing music underneath them. And somewhere in that transition she discovered something about the difference between writing to process and writing to connect.

Leave A Voice Note
You've made it to Come Back To Earth — a place for musicians and makers to exhale for a minute.

If an episode named something you've felt but couldn't quite say, or you just want to talk shop about the creative life, leave a note.

Some things are better spoken than typed.

I listen to every note personally during my Friday stewardship hours. No pressure to be polished, just be human.
