New Season Of Dear Young Rocker Podcast Starts April 7th

 "This is a podcast for the weirdos. The loners. The ugly ducklings."

These words are the tagline on the website for the podcast Dear Young Rocker. 

There's no doubt that the phrase is meant to attract teens that are too often on the outside looking in at teen culture.

This podcast from Double Elvis Productions (Disgraceland) profiles a young teen seeking relief from the anxiety, body issues, and pent-up aggression of adolescence and a way to connect to others through rock music. 

 

The podcast details the trials of being the only girl rock musician in her conservative hometown and sheds light on the often ignored issue of aggression in girls and the importance of providing outlets. 

It’s also a series of letters about everything we wish we could tell our young selves.

The podcast was born from an idea shared by many – a desire to go back and tell your younger self a lot of things.

"I want to talk to not only the kid me but also every kid out there who wants to be invisible, who feels strange in their growing body, who might imagine everyone hates them or that they hate everyone else and feel like no one on earth would ever get it," Chelsea, season one.

Through 24 episodes this podcast explored the relationship between gender, rage, and the power of music is like an unearthed time capsule containing a forgotten strain of teendom.

The podcast has generated a loyal audience and growing popularity. 

On April 7, Double Elvis Productions and iHeartRadio Podcast Network’s newest season of Dear Young Rocker.

Dear Young Rocker, the heartfelt audio memoir about growing up a loner and finding a home in music, will take a new format this season, featuring a range of talented female, nonbinary and transgender musicians who will join Chelsea in sharing their own stories of heartbreak and finding themselves through their art.

 

 This season's Musical guest stars will include Anjimile Chithambo (Anjimile), Amy Hoffman (Future Teens), Mia Berren (PomPom Squad), Lauren Gilbert (Thelma and the Sleaze), Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) and more.
