Episode 58
In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with songwriter and composer Gwyneth Herbert.
Gwyneth shares three trips to Kenya that kept finding her at the exact moments she was running from something in her own life. The first in 2013, rooted in music and stories and an orphanage choir that became one of the most beautiful gifts she's ever received. The second in 2019, rooted in the politics of colonial memory and the things she wasn't ready to face in her own. And a third in 2025 where she finally arrived not to run, but to listen.
