Episode Description

What happens when a song written decades ago suddenly feels like it was written for today?

In this episode of the Scientista Podcast, Monica Medina and Sweta Chakraborty sit down with singer and interpretive artist Maxine Linehan to talk about music, meaning, and timing. The conversation centers on her stripped-down reinterpretation of Sunday Bloody Sunday—and why its lyrics are resonating in a new way right now.

They explore how songs evolve across time, the role artists play in shaping how we process current events, and how Maxine builds performances that combine music, storytelling, and lived experience.
