Today, we’ll talk to Sarah Bishop, the carousel’s assistant director and my sometimes collaborator – about how the process of writing and playing songs has helped us both get through challenging passages in our life.

You can find more of Sarah's music at https://sarahbankermusic.com/

You can find some of Nick and Josh's music at https://wearenewborn.bandcamp.com/ and https://lamplightlamplight.bandcamp.com/

We would be honored if you would share a personal story of songwriting and catharsis with us (or any other art form, for that matter). So if that calls to you, please reach out to podcast@carouselofhappiness.org

Do you have a story to share? Leave us a message!
