Artist Interviews Jen & the Dots Interview
This week, Features & Production Director Jessi D speaks with Jen Dot of Jen & the Dots. They discuss Jen's prolific Chicago music career in beastii and Swimsuit Addition, her hesitancy to name this new project after herself, her Sci-Fi news writing project set on an alternative Earth, juggling attending grad school and writing a book, staving off the ever present existential crisis with a busy schedule, and Jen & the Dots' first (and possibly only) EP.
Produced by Jessi D.

The First Time is CHIRP Radio’s Live Lit and Music series. It pairs a reader’s personal story about a specific "first time" -- a different "first" for each show -- with a song performance. This unique structure allows the story to resonate with audience members as they experience the accompanying song covered by The First Time Four. The band takes special care to perform unexpected song arrangements, so it is hard to tell which the audience enjoys more: the story or the song.
The First Time is produced and directed by Julie Mueller with Assistant Producers Bobby Evers, Hadas Werman and Host Jenn Sodini. Podcast recorded and produced by Jenn Rourke. Engineering by Tony Baker.
