There is one globally influential magazine that focuses on
Americana and I was fortunate enough to speak with its editor.
Hilary Saunders is the human tornado who wrestles No Depression to
the presses every quarter, and she is a phenomenal human being. For
Episode 75, we had an wide-ranging conversation about her journey
to the editorship of No Depression, about life in New York City
during these strange times we're living in, and about using guava
jelly in hamantaschen. I enjoyed every minute of it.
During the course of our conversation, she recommended the email
newsletters of a couple of music journalists. You can find Gary
