She was left for dead when her next door neighbor stabbed her in the neck, suddenly and without warning. Luckily she had the presence of mind to call 911. That phone call saved her life.
On today’s show singer songwriter Mekole Wells lives to tell her story of her near death and then being confronted with heart problems. After a heart bypass surgery Mekole healed herself through the healing powers of words and music. It is hard to keep a good diva down!
It is our pleasure to welcome back to the show Mekole Wells, whose last appearance happened on the Feast of Fools in August of 2006.
Today Mekole Wells returns to spread the word about her fabulous performance at the Alt Q Music Festival at the Old Town School of Folk Music on May 17th. We hope you can all make it out to this fabulous event filled with top notched musicians.
Are men on the verge of extinction? It seems that one scientists claims that the male chromosome will eventually degrade so much that there won’t be anymore men around. Listen up ladies, although it may take 120,000 years for men to become extinct, it looks like the Earth may someday be called Lesbos.
Listen as we chat with Mekole about finding your passion and creativity through your extraordinary and everyday struggles. We also talk about who will be the future president of the United States. We hope it’s a good one.
Mekole Wells gives us an a cappella taste of her new song “Come Over Me” which she’ll be singing at the Festival on May 17th.
The podcast that is hard to kill- Feast of Fools.

Where is the Chris Crocker interview?!
That’ll be up next week.
What a great show! Mekole is so eloquent and hilarious, a perfect foil for my boys. Fantastic work, once again!
great show guys! Mekole was amazing.
Mekole is a wonderful person.
I love her voice, I love her spirit, I love her thoughts and I not only see a lot of myself in her, but I see a lot of where I want to be in her.
Thank you for having her on the show. Please have her back again soon. I would be happy just to hear her reading through a phone book and sharing the thoughts that came up.
Mekole was amazing! Such a voice, and such a wonderful spirit! I remember her from her first FoF appearance… so glad she joined us again. I definitely need to check out ALT-Q this year. I’ve never been, and it’s high time I actually go.
Lets go together Rick!
It’s a date!
Great podcast. What’s not to love. She’s obviously a great person and I love her voice. I went to Amazon to buy her Full Circle cd but it’s listed at 18.99 and not in stock. ITunes music sales aren’t available in Taiwan. I wish I could buy it directly from her.
Just listened to this show– Mekole, you are an angel. An angel with a beautiful voice, and still doesn’t suffer fools gladly. I hope your students realize how lucky they are to have a straight-talking diva in their midst.
Thanks for bringing Mekole on the show guys. She has a really stunning voice…i enjoyed it so much I went and purchased her album immediately (off your site of course).
