  • Solely for the Converge interview.

    Oooof. That was one for the vault. FYI, sanctimonious and humorless interviewees = torture to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

949. - Kevin Morby
Q: What was it like to perform on Kimmel and have your voice auto-tuned?
It was a surreal experience; it sounded different on the plane and there was a lot of attention from friends and publicists. They eventually addressed it quickly, and Morby and his team pushed to have the auto-tune corrected due to concerns about integrity and artistic identity.
943. - Hrishikesh Hirway
Q: How important are stems in Song Exploder interviews for shaping a musician's story?
Stems serve as a memory-triggering device; they allow guests to reconnect with their creative process, making the interview more insightful and memorable than talking about lyrics alone.
943. - Hrishikesh Hirway
Q: What did AI-generated podcasts like Song Exploder AI sound like, and how did they differ from human-centered podcasts?
The AI podcast attempted to synthesize existing writing into critique, but it lacked the lived, vocal nuance and context that a human host brings; it highlighted both the potential and the limits of AI in music commentary.
934. - Recho Omondi
Q: Law Roach tweeted at Delta about his Delta One experience. Are you familiar with this situation?
Yes, and while some think Law might have misunderstood the product terms, I can see why he spoke up given how jet-setting lifestyles rely on precise seating options.
928. - Pierce Abernathy
Q: What time are you getting up, Pierce?
Pierce explains his schedule, noting a late start around 8:30 and a preference for not waking up too early, followed by a coffee routine.
