Hemlocke Springs: Hyperfixated with Joseph Shepherd Ep. 2

About this episode

Joseph Shepherd interviews Hemlocke Springs about her creative process and pop culture influences.

Welcome to Hyperfixated, the podcast where I, an autistic pop culture junkie, sit down with the people behind the movies, TV shows, music, and pop culture moments that completely consumed my brain growing up. For Episode 2, I’m joined by the brilliantly fun pop mind of Hemlocke Springs! We talk "The Apple Tree Under the Sea", writing songs on a library bathroom floor, and why she built a whole fantasy version of herself to survive. Plus, we fan girl over Enya, read old facebook posts, and more! Follow @hyperfixatedshow on Instagram and subscribe for new episodes every week!
