Reckoning with Mary Gauthier

Reckoning with Mary Gauthier is a nine-episode journey into the stories, songwriting craft, and deeper meaning behind the songs on Mary Gauthier’s new album of the same name. Mary sits down with her co-writer (including Vince Gill, Lori McKenna, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and more) to explore how songs come to life and the deeply personal and universal subjects at its heart. Reckoning with Mary Gauthier offers an intimate look at the songwriting process as well as the people and experiences that shape the songs.

Aaron Lee Tasjan: Consequences, Curiosity, and Co-Writing, EP.2 Oct 16, 2026

Show notes

Today we welcome the powerhouse singer, songwriter, producer, and artist to the core, Aaron Lee Tasjan, to the show. In addition to being a wonderful standalone artist, Aaron has a long history as one of the most sought-after collaborators in music today–working with New York Dolls, Drivin N Cryin, Todd Snider, and most recently, The Wallflowers. In this episode we discuss collaboration, consequences, and discipline. We also step back into the mystery of the trance we both found ourselves in while writing the album’s title track and the namesake of this podcast, "Reckoning." Aaron’s new record, Get Over It, Underdog, is available everywhere now. Thanks to our producers Jaimee Harris and Olivia Management.

Beth Nielsen Chapman: Magic and Heartbox Hits, EP. 1 Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

Today I’m thrilled to welcome one of my dearest friends, Beth Nielsen Chapman. She is the songwriter I’ve co-written the most songs with. Beth is constantly creating; she arrived to our studio with a capo she bedazzled herself. She’s a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, a spectacular teacher, and I think she’s made of magic. In this episode, we discuss how we stay curious, hit money vs. heart money, and how we’ve navigated twenty years of collaboration and friendship. Beth’s latest record, CrazyTown, and my new album, Reckoning, are both available everywhere you enjoy music. The new podcast Reckoning with Mary Gauthier is on The BGS podcast network. We’d love it if you’d give us a review and a follow. Thanks to our producers Jaimee Harris and Olivia Management.
