    Rewind: Desmond Child and David Foster on Writing the Hits, Owning the Catalog, and What Comes After the Charts

    Two of the most influential hitmakers of the last half-century sit down with Kyle Meredith for a wide-ranging conversation about what it means to write songs that outlive their moment. Desmond Child talks about finally stepping center stage with his first live release, Desmond Child Live, revisiting decades of world-dominating songs, and how writing his autobiography, Livin On A Prayer: Big Songs Big Life, pushed him to reflect on legacy, mentorship, and the emotional weight songs like “Livin’ on a Prayer” still carry. Alongside him, David Foster digs into his own retrospective project, breaking down the theatrical instincts behind his biggest productions, the famous studio moments with Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, and how he’s shifted his creative focus toward Broadway and long-form storytelling, including the Betty Boop musical. Together, the two songwriters reflect on adapting to changing eras, choosing when to step back from chasing radio, and why the stories behind the songs may ultimately matter as much as the hits themselves.

    Maynard James Keenan on Normal Isn’t, Puscifer’s Bigger Picture, and Ignoring the Voices

    Maynard James Keenan digs into the fifth Puscifer album Normal Isn't, unpacking how the record functions as a kind of cultural status report—part political frustration, part tech anxiety, part dark humor. Keenan explains why the band feels like it’s finally being “discovered” years after the fact, how this album leans harder and hits sharper than its predecessors, and why observation—not preaching—is the real job here. The conversation also gets into the creation of the new character Bellendia Black, the expanding world of videos and graphic novels, the uneasy usefulness of AI, and why being the underdog still matters. Along the way, there’s talk of Bowie, language as satire, and why Normal Isn’t feels less like rebellion for rebellion’s sake and more like an inevitable reckoning.

    Gill Holland on Indie Film, Louisville, and Making the Impossible Happen

    Film producer Gill Holland joins Kyle Meredith to trace his nearly 30-year career that adds up to around 150 films, from early Sundance breakthroughs like Hurricane Streets to documentaries such as Flow: For Love Of Water and the beloved Big Star doc, plus cult favorites like Greg The Bunny. Holland digs into what a producer actually does, why rejection is basically part of the job description, how the ’90s indie boom cracked Hollywood open, and why that spirit might be poised for a comeback in the age of streaming and AI. Along the way, he explains why Louisville became home, how Kentucky keeps finding its way into his work, and what’s next, including new projects with Sarah Silverman and Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

    The Cast of Shrinking on Season 3, Character Growth, and Balancing Comedy With Grief

    Kyle Meredith sits down with Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Ted McGinley, and Michael Urie to unpack how Shrinking season 3 on Apple TV might be the show’s richest chapter yet. The cast talks about how the series keeps deepening its characters without losing the jokes, from Gabby’s emotionally loaded monologues and Brian realizing he doesn’t have life figured out, to Derek finally stepping out from behind the zen-smile and Liz living at full-throttle anxiety year-round. Miller dives into the show’s carefully chosen needle drops and long-gestating music moments, Urie breaks down that unforgettable Les Misérables singalong watched silently by Harrison Ford, McGinley reflects on playing Derek as an “iceberg,” and Williams explains how she ramps up for scenes that hit hard right out of the gate.

    Rewind: Petula Clark & Don McLean on Songwriting, Legacy, and the Long Life of a Good Idea

    Talking with Kyle Meredith, Petula Clark and Don McLean both reflect on what it means to keep creating decades into a career, each from their own corner of the musical universe. Clark walks through the making of Living For Today, from recording in a tiny garden studio in London to shaping the title track’s light-to-serious turn, reconnecting with Tony Hatch, and navigating the nerves (and respect) that come with reinterpreting classics—from Peggy Lee’s “Fever” to the Beatles’ “Blackbird”—while embracing songs like “Downtown” as lifelong companions rather than burdens. McLean, meanwhile, digs into the long road behind Botanical Gardens, rejecting the idea that he lives solely in the shadow of “American Pie” or “Vincent,” and instead framing the album as a mix of styles, metaphors, and ideas that took years—sometimes decades—to finally surface. From songwriting as a visual, almost cinematic act to letting songs wait until they’re ready, both artists land on the same truth: the work doesn’t give up on you, it just keeps knocking until you let it back in.

    Carnie Wilson on Legacy, Mental Health, and the Lost Classics of Wilson Phillips

    Platinum-selling singer Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips sits down with Kyle Meredith ahead of her 2026 She Rocks Awards honor to talk about the full arc of her career — from the monster success of Wilson Phillips and the harmonies that defined a generation to the overlooked gems like Shadows And Light and the criminally underrated The Wilsons, which reunited her with her father Brian Wilson and let the band rock harder than anyone expected. Wilson opens up about mental health advocacy, sobriety, grief, OCD, motherhood, and why being honest has always mattered more than being polished. There’s also plenty of love for studio life, unreleased vault material, Christmas records, and the idea that history might finally catch up with the albums that slipped through the cracks the first time.

    Sasha Calle & Catalina Sandino Moreno on Trust, Temptation, and Ensemble Tension of The Rip

    In a pair of conversations tied together by one very uneasy stash house, Kyle Meredith talks with Catalina Sandino Moreno and Sasha Calle about Netflix’s The Rip, a crime thriller that’s less about shootouts than the slow psychological squeeze of not knowing who to trust. Moreno reflects on returning to morally complex material after Maria Full of Grace, what it’s like sharing scenes with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and why this run of action-heavy roles marks a surprisingly fun new chapter in her career. Calle digs into playing Desi, the film’s human wildcard, balancing stillness with intensity, delivering a pivotal monologue, and how her soap-opera background prepared her for pressure-cooker moments. Along the way, both talk about Joe Carnahan’s high-energy set, the film’s ensemble chemistry, and why The Rip works best when it slows down and lets the paranoia breathe.

    Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby on A Thousand Blows’ Broken Men, Brutal London, and Cost of Survival

    Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby dig into the darker second chapter of A Thousand Blows, where the optimism of the first season has been beaten down by reality in 1880s East End London. Knight talks about shooting both seasons back-to-back, building an immersive, walkable version of Victorian London, and grounding the story in real history without sanding off its chaos, while Kirby breaks down Hezekiah’s transformation from hopeful newcomer to a man fueled by pain, rage, and survival instinct. They get into how that massive physical and emotional shift shaped the performances, the toll of a year-long boxing regimen, and why the show’s bleakness is still rooted in resilience and forward motion. It’s a conversation about destiny versus choice, history crashing into personal lives, and how A Thousand Blows uses real people and real places to tell a story that keeps finding new ways to hit harder.
