Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Getting Away with Art with Blums
Q: How did the band dynamics and collaborations with people like Sasha Berliner and Kirk Palsma shape the sound and process of the album?
She describes bringing in specific collaborators, using their instrumental strengths (like Sasha on vibraphone) and Kirk's production ideas to move from a trip-hop/garage setup to a more pop-focused sound, while maintaining a theatrical and experimental edge.
Getting Away with Art with Blums
Q: You've been in multiple touring bands and you've also worked in jazz clubs. How has such a busy life fed into your creative stream as an artist?
She explains that varied experiences—from acting conservatory training to playing in jazz clubs and touring—have taught her to be adaptable, to let ideas percolate, and to let different influences inform her writing and performance in a way that keeps her work dynamic and true to what excites her.
You, Me & Liz Phair with lucky break
Q: What was the intention behind focusing Made It on a period of 19 to 23, and how does that inform the listener's experience?
Emma explains that period felt pivotal for heartbreak and growth, and aiming to document it honestly helps listeners see how time reshapes emotion and self-perception, reinforcing the album's cathartic, reflective arc.
You, Me & Liz Phair with lucky break
Q: You've cited a lot of writers and lyricists as inspirations. Which writers have shaped how you write today?
Emma says The Magnetic Fields, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, John Prine, and a wide range including poets like Lawrence Ferlinghetti have influenced how she crafts character-driven, observational lyrics.
Grrrl's Just Wanna Be Famous with Meg Smith
Q: How did your background, including your mom's dance career, influence your approach to writing songs like Girls Just Wanna Be Famous?
She describes writing the track as a love letter to her mom and to other girls chasing fame, drawing from her mom's experiences in dance and the broader show business world to celebrate resilience and ambition.
