Host Deana Bianco introduces the newly rebranded Soft Parts, a podcast exploring identity, mental health, and the vulnerable moments that shape us. She shares the inspiration behind the name—drawn from Hole’s “Doll Parts”—and the shift from her former therapy-focused show.

This episode continues Deana’s conversation with comedian April Richardson, who opens up about surviving an abusive relationship, rebuilding her life, and reconnecting with comedy, music, and community. They also talk about what it means to listen to albums with intention—like Lily Allen’s—and how engaging with music more deeply can shape identity, reflection, and healing.
