After a short summer break, Follow the Lieder is back with a vengeance to finish up Schubert’s Winterreise Part 2. This episode contains all your favorite things: a hilarious (and brand new) co-host, a deep dive into Schubert’s life, a detailed description and analysis of Die Post, and all the facts you could ever want to know (and some you didn’t want to know) about syphilis! How could it not be a blast?!?
