About this episode

Hattie and Becca reflect on their past and future while addressing a listener's concerns about their music college experience.

Hattie has "trouble in everything", Becca has been living the Lady of Leisure lifestyle. They look back at 2016, forwards to 2026, and reply to an email from a reader/listener who reached out about feeling gaslit by their music college professor. ------------------------------------------------------------- Things Musicians Don't Talk About is supported by the  Royal Society of Musicians !
