Story

In the wake of a break-up, writer Starlee Kine finds so much comfort in break-up songs that she tries to write one herself, even though she has no musical ability whatsoever.

For some help, she turns to a rather surprising expert on the subject. 

Dr. Phil won the Best Documentary: Gold Award in the 2008 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition. The story was edited by Alex Blumberg.

Producer

Starlee Kine has been a contributor to This American Life, is co-creator of the Post-it Note Reading Series, and is currently working on a book of essays about self-help called It IS Your Fault.
