Cult Liter with Spencer Henry

How Sad, How Lovely

Episode Summary

This week we’re discussing the life of singer-songwriter Connie Converse who disappeared in August of 1974 never to be seen or heard from again. When Connie’s music began to resurface in the early 2000’s many began to realize that she was a real pioneer for folk music and perhaps one of the earliest female singer-songwriters, so what would cause her to just up and leave?  Join me in donating to EveryTown for gun safety: https://www.everytown.org Write me: spencer@cultliter.com Spencer Henry PO Box 18149 Long Beach CA 90807  Follow along online: instagram.com/cultliterpodcast Join our patreon: Patreon.com/cultliter Check out my new show OBITCHUARY wherever you’re listening now!  Sources:  https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/03/us/gonzalo-lopez-texas-manhunt/index.html https://www.theawl.com/2010/08/the-story-of-connie-converse/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Converse https://connieconverse.bandcamp.com https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/connie-converses-time-has-come https://priceonomics.com/how-a-90-year-old-missing-person-became-a-hit-on/ https://priceonomics.com/how-a-90-year-old-missing-person-became-a-hit-on/
