Protest songs, and other musings: A conversation with Peter Mulvey

Hi, Brad here. In addition to co-hosting Estate Sale with Laurie, I also produce a music podcast called Music at Three Pines: The Podcast, where I interview musicians about their craft. Most of those interviewed come from the folk tradition, which as you know, has deep political roots through Rhiannon Giddens, Bob Dylan, and Woody Guthrie. One example, is singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, who has always been a strong social activist through his music. We talk about the pandemic, the state of the campaign, and along the way, introduce you to some of Peter's music. Hope you enjoy the conversation, and also hope you will visit Peter's webpage for more information on his music and activism.

About the Podcast

Estate Sale: the selling out of American democracy
American institutions are under attack...and that means our democracy is at stake.
Democracy depends on a free press, a government for the people, a just legal system and separate-but-free church.

Yet, we have a corrupt U.S. president, a partisan Supreme Court, a power-hungry white evangelical bloc and a lazy press - which is revealing just how much our American values are being sold out.

With a lot of informative guests and a few F-bombs, co-hosts Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann and Brad Raley are going to change that.
