Episode One of “Life’s Work: A Podcast About Laura Stevenson’s ‘Sit Resist’” covers the period of time beginning in 2008 when Stevenson was writing and recording the songs that would make up her debut album “A Record”. Also covered is the formative full-US tour that Laura and her band did with Bomb The Music Industry! in 2009, and the loose assembling of the band lineup that would contribute to the arranging of the songs that would make up her 2011 album “Sit Resist”. The episode is bookended by Stevenson’s television debut on the Chris Gethard Show in summer of 2012, and features interviews with Stevenson herself, as well as with partner and bass player Mike Campbell, longtime collaborator, friend and former Bomb The Music Industry! bandmate Jeff Rosenstock, and comedian Chris Gethard who has a singular story to share of his relationship with Laura’s music and lyrics.
