In her podcast, Megan Hack excavates the autobiographical elements to Matchbox 20’s hit “3AM”: Rob Thomas’s mom was fighting cancer at the time the song was written. Listening closely and incorporating her own experiences as a listener into her analysis, Megan asks (and begins to answer): “if a person has not experienced a situation talked about in a song, how are they able to feel emotion from it?” At the end of this podcast, you'll be able to hear an interview with its creator, where she digs deeper into her podcast research, conclusions, and production process.
