Dear Young Rocker
A coming of age audio memoir about finding home in rock music.
E48: Weekday Weekend
Dear Young Rocker: you can spend your whole life wondering, obsessing over the “what if’s” -- but no matter the circumstances, it’s still your life.
In the Dear Young Rocker Season 4 finale, Nadia catches up to her 23 year old self and reflects on how it all happened -- her own weekday weekend.
Nadia thinks back on what brought her back to Atlanta, what helped her start making music again, the importance of telling your own story… and what a weekday weekend really means.
