  • Summary

  • I’m Natalie Patton and this is The Nth Degree, a storytelling show that’s meant to feel like you’re at the intersection of a literary bar and an intimate conversation. Each season, through stories, I’m going to explore a single topic to the nth degree. By that I mean I’m going to examine the topic to its furthest reaches in hopes that I can understand it better. This season, the topic is death and grief and all the things a person who experiences those might experience and feel and wonder about.

  • Part 3: "The Slippery Nature of Time"

    Part 3: "The Slippery Nature of Time"
    Jul 28 2024

    With words by Natalie Patton and music bed by the band Scale Worms, this story is a meditation on time, memory and loss told across three parts. Here: part 3 of "The Slippery Nature of Time."

    The conclusion to this story digs deeper into the pain of loss and the euphoria of life. While the story isn't tied up neatly with a bow, it does come to some kind of more full understanding.

    Part 2: "The Slippery Nature of Time"
    Jul 28 2024

    With words by Natalie Patton and music by the band Scale Worms, this story is a meditation on time, memory and loss told across three parts. Here: part 2 of "The Slippery Nature of Time."

    In part 2, the time period is leading up to and immediately following the birth of my first child. For most (all?) women, the postpartum period is a particular one. For me, it was accentuated by grief that burst out in ways I wasn't expecting and definitely wasn't prepared for.
