FEATURED PODCAST EPISODES

The MeadowSong Podcast is a genre-defying project using music, poetry, and storytelling to illuminate points of merger between the mythic and the mundane. At the heart of the project is a belief that artistic perspective and mythic imagination can bring meaning, purpose, and vitality to a world which seems otherwise chaotic and overwhelming.

Lee produced 25 episodes of the podcast between early 2022 and late 2023, writing essays and recording piano improvisations for each. Listener favorites are featured below. The full show can be accessed through Apple Podcasts and on this website.
