Renée Elise Goldsberry sat down with Kyle Meredith to dive deep into her vibrant debut album, Who I Really Am. The Tony-winning powerhouse, best known for her role as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, is proving she’s just as compelling behind a mic as she is on stage. Blending pop with the theatrical soul of Broadway, she's crafted a record that defies genre while still feeling timeless. Listen now.Of course, Hamilton remains a cherished chapter. She revisited “Satisfied” for the album and recently reunited with the original cast for the Tony Awards. “We’re ridiculously silly when we’re together,” she admits. “It’s love all over the room.” Meanwhile, her other family, the Girls5eva crew, might still have more stories to tell. “I dream we’ll be back in 10 years, dressing alike, singing harmony, taking over malls that probably won’t exist,” she jokes.Listen to Renée Elise Goldsberry chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube.

Lucy Dacus sits down with Kyle Meredith to discuss her latests solo record, Forever Is a Feeling. The singer-songwriter unpacks the new album’s lush poetry, the angelic iconography behind its cover, and the raw intimacy of performing in churches and museums. Listen now.Touring behind the new record (get tickets here!), Dacus found herself gravitating towards sanctuaries both literal and spiritual. “Places like that always feel super reverent whether or not you’re religious,” she says of the cathedrals and churches she’s played in. “They inspire a quietness and an introspection that I really like.” That same thoughtful hush permeates Forever is a Feeling, an album that glides between dreamlike atmospheres and confessional clarity.Of course, she didn’t go it alone. The record brings together a who’s who of kindred spirits, from Hozier to Madison Cunningham to Bartees Strange, along with her boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker (also her romantic partner), appearances that feel like a tight-knit mixtape of indie rock’s most emotionally articulate voices.Listen to Lucy Dacus chat about all this and more or watch on YouTube.

The conversation also covers the track “Lord Gadiva,” a 27-year-old song that the band never released until now.Listen to The Jesus Lizard’s David Yow chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby dig into the darker second chapter of A Thousand Blows, where the optimism of the first season has been beaten down by reality in 1880s East End London. Knight talks about shooting both seasons back-to-back, building an immersive, walkable version of Victorian London, and grounding the story in real history without sanding off its chaos, while Kirby breaks down Hezekiah’s transformation from hopeful newcomer to a man fueled by pain, rage, and survival instinct. They get into how that massive physical and emotional shift shaped the performances, the toll of a year-long boxing regimen, and why the show’s bleakness is still rooted in resilience and forward motion. It’s a conversation about destiny versus choice, history crashing into personal lives, and how A Thousand Blows uses real people and real places to tell a story that keeps finding new ways to hit harder.Listen to Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Neko Case is back with Neon Grey Midnight Green, her first new album in years, and she’s catching up with Kyle Meredith to talk about why this record feels like a celebration of music itself — the people who make it, the people who listen, and the strange, communal magic that happens when everyone meets in the same room. Case digs into how the album stands apart from her recent autobiography, why trusting herself as a producer matters more than ever, and how recording with real musicians shaped the sound. Along the way, the conversation wanders into dream logic, songwriting perspectives, live performance energy, Indigenous ways of thinking, and her lifelong love of spiders — and how paying attention to the small, overlooked things might just make us better listeners, better humans, and maybe even better roommates to the creatures in our basements.Listen to Neko Case chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Taped back in 2012, as Aimee Mann, Joe Henry, and Over the Rhine’s Karin Bergquist were deep in Louisville filming what would become Pleased to Meet Me, the indie music-film directed by Archie Borders and released in 2013. Talking with Kyle Meredith, the trio breaks down the strange thrill of musicians stepping into acting roles, how the movie’s story about forced collaboration mirrored their real-life creative chaos, and why chasing fame had already lost its appeal. Along the way, they got candid about the fear of embarrassing themselves, the freedom that came after the music industry’s collapse, and why discovery — not commercial validation — is the only thing worth showing up for.Listen to Aimee Mann, Joe Henry & Karin Bergquist chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Walker Scobell sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about jumping back into the role that changed everything as Percy Jackson and the Olympians heads into its bigger, more physical second season on Disney+, opening up about how stepping away between seasons actually made him a better actor, why Season 2 demanded more stunt work and endurance, and how growing up in real time messes with audience perception on a long-gestating effects-heavy show. Along the way he reflects on working opposite Michael Douglas in Looking Through Water, learning on the fly fight choreography scenes that took weeks to shoot only to end up on the cutting room floor, and why improvisation can suddenly become canon. Plus, he teases Season 3 moments with Kate McKinnon that nearly broke him on set, talks about sharing scenes with comedy heavyweights, and explains why sometimes the best prep is just going back to school and being a normal kid for a while.Listen to Walker Scobell chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Filmmaker Morgan Neville sits down with Kyle Meredith to unpack his Netflix documentary Breakdown 1975, a deep dive into a year when America seemed to collectively lose its footing and still made some of its greatest movies in the process. Neville explains why you can’t tell the story of 1975 without the years around it, how post-Watergate anxiety, cultural whiplash, and political exhaustion bled directly into films like Chinatown, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Jaws, and Star Wars, and why that moment eerily mirrors where we find ourselves 50 years later. The conversation also touches on New Hollywood’s last great gasp, the rise of Reagan-era thinking before Reagan ever took office, how movies functioned as a national therapy session, and why the shared theatrical experience itself now feels endangered.Listen to Morgan Neville chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.
