Kiri Oliver of Early Riser

Host Jason Schreurs and Early Riser vocalist/guitarist Kiri Oliver discuss her social anxiety and how it affects her in social situations and finding connections. Punk rock helps, like playing in bands and watching live shows, but the socializing part is where she struggles. Over the years, she's learned some valuable tips for setting boundaries.
