Musician and filmmaker Michael Doshier joins the Night Water podcast to discuss his old life as an aspiring pop star performing under the name Johnny Darlin, how his song "Olly Alexander" fits into his creative arc, and whether or not Olly has ever heard his romantic proposal.

You can follow Michael on Instagram, @michaeldoshier, and check out his new film Throuple, @throuplethemovie. Michael also joined Night Water a few years ago to discuss Throuple before it was made—you can read about that here.
