  • I’ll be back.

    I don’t listen to many pods, but I’m enjoying this one. Great curation of who she chooses to talk with. I really enjoyed the convos with Luke Temple and Kevin Morby. I’ll be a regular listener.

  • Like talking to your Music Friend

    Dylan feels like I'm talking to a good friend who knows the ins and outs of all the bands.

    Don't get deceived by the the comfortable very personable feel - the interviews are deep, and wonderfully constructed.

    Jenn Wassner was a great interview

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam & Louise Sullivan
Q: How does teaching influence your songwriting?
Sam says teaching literature makes him consider how art reaches people outside specialist circles. He tries to write songs that can win over a listener quickly, rather than creating only for himself or other indie-rock fans.
Sam & Louise Sullivan
Q: What are the go-to modes you shift into when you're recording together?
Sam usually brings in a nearly finished song, then the siblings record a basic performance against a keyboard or vintage drum machine and layer parts on top. They sometimes keep the drum-machine track, and they have become more comfortable leaving out unnecessary additions.
Wild Pink
Q: How has cancer affected your approach to writing and performing?
It forced a shift toward resilience and a focus on storytelling that can carry emotional weight without being bound to confession, leading to a louder, more live-friendly sound.
Wendy Eisenberg
Q: How did your early musical influences shape your approach to craft and art?
Wendy discusses the intense focus on learning guitar and piano, the drive to master difficult material, and how reading philosophy and literature influenced approaching music as a form of emotional expression and self-inquiry.
Wendy Eisenberg
Q: What does your life look like right now?
Wendy describes waking up in Brooklyn with a partner and a dog, balancing everyday routines with ongoing artistic work and relationships.
