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.

Kyle Meredith dives into the world of Fraggle Rock with both the eternal explorer and the man who brings him to life. First up, Gobo Fraggle stops by to talk about the new holiday special "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock," breaking down his very first real snowfall, the panic of hitting “rock block,” and the unexpected outer-space songwriting session with Lele Pons that helped him find the season’s big song. Gobo also chats about his musical heroes, holiday traditions shared between Fraggles and silly creatures, and what it’s like braving the bright, noisy surface world. Then Kyle talks with John Tartaglia — showrunner, puppeteer, and the voice behind Gobo — about taking on a character with decades of mythology, pulling inspiration from classic specials like "The Bells of Fraggle Rock," and weaving in new characters and subtle callbacks for longtime fans. John gets into the surreal moment of meeting Gobo on camera, the influence of original performer Jerry Nelson, and why Gobo’s stubborn optimism makes him braver than he is in real life. It’s a two-part trip through Fraggle lore, holiday spirit, and childhood-dream territory.Listen to Gobo Fraggle and John Tartaglia chat about all this and more or watch Gobo and John on YouTube.

Sarah shares how discovering Andrea’s work during her own period of grief pulled her toward the project at exactly the right moment, how she and Brandi Carlile turned one of Andrea’s poems into the film’s original song “Salt and Sour and Sweet,” and why collaborating on Andrea’s words was unlike any songwriting she’s done before. She also chats with Kyle about her upcoming album—her first since "Amidst The Chaos"—including how grief shaped the writing and how Andrea’s voice even appears on one of the new tracks.

Felicity digs into learning unexpected frontier skills (including shooting a rifle and skinning a goat), while Kerry talks about bonding with director Clint Bentley over horses and the film’s quiet emotional power. They also touch on Bryce Dessner’s gorgeous score, Nick Cave’s closing song, and why stories like this still matter in the increasingly cutthroat film world.Listen to Felicity Jones and Kerry Condon chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Abe Sylvia joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Season 2 of Palm Royale on AppleTV. The producer and showrunner digs into the show’s evolution from a satire of American exceptionalism to a sharp look at sisterhood, ambition, and feminism in 1969 Palm Beach. Sylvia talks about crafting the bigger, flashier second season without audience influence, building emotional mirroring into every outrageous twist, and how women “committing the crime of having a feeling” inspired the story’s darker undercurrents. He also shares how choreography, scandal, and a few “occasional felonies” make this season the most dazzling yet.Listen to Abe Sylvia chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.
