In conversation, Natalie and Frank explore songwriting, poetry, performance and production, tracing how folk traditions, personal mythology and restraint shape her distinctive sound. Expect reflections on process, place, and the power of leaving space in music alongside live performances that feel suspended between past and present. Visit Instagram @rogueplanets_fm104.4.
