Amber Chardae Robinson on Palm Royale and the Comedic Genius of Kristin Wiig
Amber Chardae Robinson chats with Kyle Meredith about Apple TV+’s new series Palm Royale, which follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she attempts to break into a snooty Palm Beach clique.
Robinson goes deep into the show's late '60s setting, and how her character of color, Virginia, contrasts the well-off, resort-going characters she's frequently at odds with. It's a heavy topic, but one that's made palatable by the comedic stylings of the show.
The actress also explains how hard it is to keep a straight face when acting opposite Kristen Wiig, as well as the Marvin Gaye song that she would pick as her official theme song.

Maya Hawke on Portraying Flannery O’Connor in the Ethan Hawke-directed Wildcat
Maya Hawke links back up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Wildcat, her new film that serves both as a biopic about novelist Flannery O’Connor and as an interpretation of the writer's Southern Gothic prose. Listen to the new episode wherever you get your podcasts.
The Stranger Things star talks about how reading O’Connor in high school left a lasting impression on her, one that directly led to the creation of Wildcat. Hawke had passed along the writer's prayer journal to her father (Ethan Hawke), and after he also fell in love with the work, the two decided to adapt her story for the big screen.
Hawke goes on to reveal how she found the voice and rhythm of O’Connor, how the novelist's style has a connection to songwriting (Hawke's album Chaos Angel comes out May 31st), and whether or not the film industry is on the cusp of a new era for independent cinema.

Shinedown’s Brent Smith on "A Symptom of Being Human," Olivia Rodrigo’s Rock Status & Their Next LP
Shinedown’s Brent Smith joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the continued success of their 2022 album Planet Zero and its single “A Symptom of Being Human,” what to expect from the band's next record, and more. Listen to the new episode wherever you get your podcasts.
The frontman discusses why he thinks the band's music continues to resonate years after its initial release, attributing much of it to their raw authenticity. As he tells it, such authenticity is shown not only through hit singles like "A Symptom of Being Human," but through their fun music videos and overall aesthetic as well.
Rather than genre labels or fan expectations, Smith explains how the band's authentic intuition drives the direction of the band. To make his point, the singer invokes the crossover success of Olivia Rodrigo. It’s with that in mind that Smith previews their plans for Shinedown's next album, which he says will be less concept-driven and more guest-heavy.
