Deep Sea Diver joins host Stephen Kallao

Jessica Dobson of the band Deep Sea Diver was working on her latest album when she didn’t like what she was hearing…and decided to start over. The indie-rock singer-songwriter, who’s played guitar for Beck and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, talks about letting go of her inner critic and getting back to her “kid self.” Deep Sea Diver performs songs from her new album, Billboard Heart.
