Another Mother
A podcast about motherhood & music! Conversations with musician moms about their journey to and through motherhood while being a musician. We talk about challenges, joys, how we do make a messy but satisfying creative life while being a mom.
Meet your host! Suzanna Choffel is a musician, songwriter, radio personality (Sun Radio) & mother living in Austin, TX. She has toured internationally, been on NBC's The Voice, recorded four studio albums and spent time on the road with everyone from Adrian Quesada to Davíd Garza, Carbon Leaf & more. Her latest album Bird by Bird (2024) explores the multitudes found in both motherhood & midlife, a pandemic, mental health, living in New York City, the death of Breonna Taylor & more! While recording her latest album, her producer & friend Davíd Garza mentioned he thought she should start this podcast, combining her love & knowledge of music, conversation & of course motherhood! Voila! A new podcast was born...(a couple of years later).
We can't wait for you to meet all of the amazing mothers making rad music, raising rad children & just being general badasses in the world!

The brilliant Carrie Rodriguez agreed to talk motherhood & music with me & estoy muy excited porque Carrie, as you might have caught on by now, is a bilingual "Americhicana" y madre - weaving her classical training on the violin & her beautiful voice into folk, country, pop and Latin sounds. We talked about her latest project Laboratorio which is to me one of the most unique collaborative ideas & projects I have ever experienced and so important right now - she writes a lot about the border & multiple cultural identities & has even been working on a Broadway musical about these issues.
Her latest album & project Postcards from the Border is a multimedia theater work with narrative by noted writer Oscar Cásares, and poetic photography of Joel Salcido as they journey along the Texas/Mexico border. (I saw it live & it was breathtaking!) Carrie is so multi-demensional!
We talk about life on the road as a mom, touring with the baby, harsh birthing experiences, and more. We laugh, we cry, we get into all things motherhood & music! Check out her mundo linda at the links below!
