In the debut episode of The Israel Nash Transmission, Israel sits down with longtime collaborator Eric Swanson for an honest conversation about creativity, independence, and the changing landscape of modern music. Israel reflects on his time away, the evolution of the industry, and the renewed vision that’s leading to the release of three new albums in one year. Together, they explore the collapse of old systems, the rise of artist agency, and the power of music to shape our stories.

• Israel’s artistic pause and creative reset
• How technology and COVID reshaped the music industry
• The decline of middlemen and rise of artist independence
