Episode 1641 - Samantha Crain

08 May 2025

Description

Singer-songwriter Samantha Crain wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to make music again after a car accident left her without the ability to play instruments or physically write songs. Samantha talks with Marc about her recovery and how her physical improvement coincided with the evolution of her artistic confidence. Samantha also explains her family’s storied history of powerlifting, the influence of Jason Molina, and why she feels it’s important to write and perform songs in the Choctaw language.

Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieser Laptop. Er kann alles, was ein Laptop so können muss. Schreiben, zocken, streamen, surfen, inkognito surfen. Einfach alles, was ein brandneuer Laptop kann. Aber der hier ist deutlich günstiger als neu. Denn er ist nicht neu. Er ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers? What the fuck buddies? What the fuck nicks? What's happening? I'm Mark Maron. This is my podcast. Broadcasting from a room in a building that was built in the 1700s in what was once an attic. A building with a very colorful history that I'm not entirely sure of. I could do some reading, but it's not a bed and breakfast exactly. It's an inn.

I'm in... Portsmouth. Portsmouth, New Hampshire. And apparently this used to be the house of a ship captain. And then it was owned by a woman who made clothing. And then some other stuff. YWCA for a while. I don't know. But it was built... A long time ago in the 1700s and renovated and now I'm in it. And it's beautiful. There's a lot of history here and I kind of feel it.

115.654 - 132.209 Marc Maron

You know, you get into these old buildings and you feel something. I don't know if it's a real feeling or if it's just something your brain manufactures because you know something about the place. But I definitely have real feelings about New England that always resurface when I'm here. But anyway, look. A couple of things.

133.27 - 153.968 Marc Maron

I just want to make a correction because Canadians are a little bit sensitive right now. And that correction is that I mentioned I was at the Elgin Theatre, but I was actually at the Elgin Wintergarden Theatre, which is the Wintergarden Theatre at the Elgin, which is a very specific and very special venue. I think I might have described it the last time I was there.

154.188 - 175.987 Marc Maron

talking about it with the leaves all over the place. There's literally the entire walls and ceiling are just covered with a fake ivy that apparently represents real ivy that was there when they unearthed the place behind a wall. A Canadian, and I'll honor their request, was like, you know, that's a very special place, and the Elgin is really a different theater.

176.027 - 199.35 Marc Maron

And I'm like, all right, man, I'll clear it up. They're very touchy right now, and I get it. Even my joke about the 51st State, saying that... Now that the liberal one up there, that we could use it because of the votes. They got a little touchy about that, too. They're like, you can't be joking about that now. It's a delicate time. It's a scary time. I know, I know. I'm living through it myself.
