And super excited to share this special edition of Music in May with our special guest, Amanda Palmer.

So Amanda first came to my attention actually a chunk of years back when she made a major break after a strong career in music,

leaving her label and went out on her own, launching what soon became the largest music kickstarter project in history, raising a tremendous amount of money.

And since then taking even additional approach to crowdfunding her career going on Patreon and amassing a tremendous number of patrons who help her go out and do the work in the world.

She has a new album out called There Will Be No Intermission which really kind of blew my mind.

It's sort of like her equivalent of Pink Floyd's The Wall. It is this end to end stunning story driven, deep issue exploring cinematic, operatic experience.

I literally laid on my floor put headphones on, listened to the whole thing into end which I haven't done with any other album in years.

In today's conversation we take a deep dive not just into this most recent work but into some really powerful moments of awakening stops along her journey.

And also cover some really tough issues for a lot of people, some challenging moments and some areas of controversy.

We go and explore things that are really important things that matter. Amanda has strong points of view and I think it's an important thing to have these conversations in this day and age.

At the end as always in our music in May series stay tuned because she performs live for us.

So excited to share this conversation and live performance with you.

And one more quick thing to share with you. We have had such a fantastic response to our additional weekly episode this month that we have decided to continue on with the twice a week format.

So now moving forward you will have twice as much good life project to enjoy every week, two weekly episodes be sure to tune in and to check whatever your favorite listening app is for the twice a week episodes.

So excited to be able to share so much more wisdom, inspiration and insight and amazing guests with you. I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project.

You know what I feel like dancing like the movement of your body described the sheer quality of this paint.

I was actually going to say I feel like we should get on and move that grand piano before starting here.

Heritage by do looks it's a feeling.

So you're hanging out up in this funny year in Woodstock right now. What am I oldest friends is actually he's been on the radio like was it radio with stock and like that since the mid 90s and Woodstock but you've only been there for a couple of years now right.

It's complicated.

We got the house about five or six years ago.

But I didn't move in. I didn't actually move into the house basically until the kid was born. And even then I haven't fully moved in most of my stuff is still in my old apartment in Boston.
