  • Guests need work

    Billy has emerged as one of the best new interviewers. But… last few episodes; some guy from a terrible LA goth metal band (?) and now a relative/fashion designer?! Zzz

    I stumbled upon this podcast and can’t stop listening. Billy thank you for taking the time to ask your visitors real questions rather than the same old questions. Well done and I can’t wait for the next one.

  • Good Listen

    Billy interviews people that usually don’t hit the interview circuit and lets the interviewee talks with limited interruptions.

  • REO Speedwagon

    Being of similar age to Mr C, I experienced the same REO radio loop and remains a fond memory. When Billy gets in synch with another musician, there’s no better interview.

  • Corgan won’t let their guests talk

    I was excited to listen to this podcast, but it I was disappointed. Corgan won’t stop interrupting his guests, and pushing his own narrative to them (and to us). There are still some good stories, but it’s so frequent and annoying that it’s not even worth it…

Patrik Mata | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
Q: Was your sound influenced by other artists?
Well, I was studying to be a journalist. I wanted to be like Hunter S. Thompson. And I really dug that.
