Musician, artist, and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne (Stop Making Sense, American Utopia) joins Kareem on the subway for a conversation about how technology has reshaped the way we listen to and experience music. From life before the internet to the impact of streaming on artists and audiences, David shares his thoughts on what’s been lost, what’s been gained, and why the way we consume music might need to change. They also dive into creativity, culture, and what keeps David inspired after decades in the spotlight.
SubwayTakes Uncut is like SubwayTakes, but longer, looser, and with more stops, more takes, and more room to go deeper.
