  • Basia Bułat, folk musician.
    2025/02/18

    Basia Bulat is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter. Born in Toronto into a family of Polish immigrants, music was always a close presence in the family home: her mother taught piano and guitar. After graduating with a degree in English literature from the University of Western Ontario, she began to pursue music as her own career path. Her debut album, Oh, My Darling was released by Rough Trade in 2007, and blended traditional folk with modern sensibilities.


    The record garnered critical acclaim and set the tone for a career marked by emotional depth and melodic richness. Known for her intimate live performances, my guest has earned a devoted international following and multiple award nominations, cementing her place as a vital voice in contemporary folk music. Her new album, Basia’s Palace, is released later this week, and was produced in between bouts of playing RPGs.

    Adanna Nedd is a narrative designer and writer for video games. Born in the Chesapeake Bay State of Maryland, she studied Information Technology & English at Penn State University as a Millennium Scholar. While at Penn State, she started multiple research projects investigating how players represent themselves in video games through their choice of skins.


    After graduating, she began writing for games, specialising in character-driven stories focused on people of colour. My guest has written for projects including Celestia, the romance game Kiss U, and, most recently, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To, released this month.
