About this listen

 There’s an old Arcade Fire song with a chorus that starts ”between the click of the light and the start of a dream.” That’s the place where this podcast invites you to reside, for just a little while. It’s a place where the lines between awake and asleep are blurred, where sanity and madness become interchangeable, where magical thinking reigns. You can’t stay here forever, it wouldn’t be healthy, but you can visit and ruminate while you pass through. I’m Natalie Patton and this is The Nth Degree.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    Sometimes, enough is enough but it's hard to tell where the line is. And sometimes, there's no two ways about it. What starts with an episode of Story Corps ends with a needle in a biohazardous waste bin. This is Bloodline on The Nth Degree.

    With music by Rosalyn Magnatta, from an EP available on her soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/rosalyn-magnatta

    Lessons in Lip Reading

    From a strip club to a gas station, this episode explores the weird and personal memories that come up in the grieving process. Eventually, grief has a way of fitting itself into a person's life like it was always there. This story, Lessons in Lip Reading, takes a humorous and surprisingly light-hearted look at memories that have come up for me over the years of digesting the loss of my mom.

    Conversation with: Mom

    When my mom died, I somehow had the foresight to export the text messages with her that were on my burner phone. This is the story of how that idea came about, and what happened after I got the 219-page PDF. Written and read by Natalie Patton with music composed for the episode by Phil Giraldi.
