Soccer Mommy has composed an original score for We Were Three, a new podcast series from The New York Times and Serial Productions. Hosted by This American Life producer Nancy Updike, the three-part series explores the difficulties of family life during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Nancy Updike is a titan of audio storytelling and we are thrilled to work with her on her first podcast series,” Julie Snyder, executive editor of Serial Productions, said in a statement. “Nancy has a winning ability to explore idiosyncratic stories with sensitivity and humor, while also raising questions about the universal themes that affect us all—family, history and grief. We Were Three is an incredible, one-of-a-kind show.”
All three episodes are set to arrive on major podcast platforms on Thursday, October 13. An excerpt from Soccer Mommy’s score appears in the trailer for the series, which is out now.
Soccer Mommy’s latest album, Sometimes, Forever, arrived in June, with production from Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin. She’s currently on the road as part of her ongoing North American tour, which concludes in December with a pair of Texas dates in Austin and Dallas.
