On Wednesday, May 4, our friends at Paradox Jukebox are welcoming a very special guest for an in-depth conversation on motherhood and mental health awareness.
Join host Caitie Thompson as she is joined by Crystal Bowersox. The singer-songwriter, who gained acclaim as the runner-up on Season 9 of American Idol, just released her latest full-length album, Hitchhiker, which is available on all major streaming platforms.
This episode will feature “The Storm,” a single from Hitchhiker that delivers a powerful message to survivors of domestic abuse and rape. This is all part of an in-depth and honest discussion about multiple heavy-hitting topics, and the songs that represent them. These include:
- “The Loneliness,” which teaches us that it’s okay not to be okay.
- “Love Who Ya Love,” a message Bowersox wrote for her son about being happy and authentic to who he is.
- “Hitchhiker,” a true story about a man named Daniel, for whom Bowersox provided a ride.
