A Hopeless Endeavor: A Joanna Newsom Podcast

We talk some more about this masterpiece of a song. The topics we cover include stars, cars, engines, brakes, breaks, and probably more because the episode is somehow an hour and a half. Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “We heard the rushing slow intake of the dark, dark waters and engine breaks (sic? Maybe not. But maybe).”
