After doing a deep dive into The Reticent’s emotional journey through the stages of Alzheimer’s disease, The Oubliette, the band’s mastermind Chris Hathcock sat down with us and spoke frankly about the album. He also shared with us his musical journey, the inspiration behind his last two albums, his songwriting process, and the band’s performance at ProgPower USA. Along the way, the conversation explores the deeply personal mental health themes that have shaped his music and creative process. It’s a frank and heavy discussion that we felt deserved its own week.

Content Warning: This episode includes candid discussions about depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental health. Listener discretion is advised.
