Ep 143: Jeff Bezos firing William Shatner into space, working at the New Yorker and almost quitting music, with Cassandra Jenkins

New York musician Cassandra Jenkins really shouldn't be on Midnight Chats, or any podcast talking about her new album, My Light, My Destroyer, because that record, near-perfect though it is, was never going to be made.  On this week's episode she tells Stu about how she had decided to quite music after releasing her last album, but things went unexpectedly well, so here we are, discussing one of the best albums that will be released in 2024, Jenkins' obsession with space, finding inspiration in a billionaire sending Captain Kirk into space, her Manhattan home life living with her parents, and what happens next is this "bonus round" of her life.  You can watch clips of the podcast online now, just give us a follow on Instagram @midnightchatspod.
