Josh Ritter is a successful and celebrated songwriter, and I feel convinced after my conversation with him that his songwriting is so good, in part, because he does not particularly care about being successful or celebrated. As he once wrote in “Snow is gone”, “I'm singing for the love of it / Have mercy on the man who sings to be adored”. I loved talking to him.
REGARDING THE VIDEO VERSION OF THE SHOW: You'll notice that I've released this episode in both audio and video format. I assumed that it would not publish on podcatchers that don't support video, but it has. If you're using overcast (or a similar podcatcher) and would like the video version, just look for the show on YouTube, it's easiest to find the video there. If you're sticking with audio, switch over to the audio version of this episode, it has slightly more content.
