    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.

    Neko Case on Neon Grey Midnight Green, Spiders, and the Joy of Music

    Neko Case is back with Neon Grey Midnight Green, her first new album in years, and she’s catching up with Kyle Meredith to talk about why this record feels like a celebration of music itself — the people who make it, the people who listen, and the strange, communal magic that happens when everyone meets in the same room. Case digs into how the album stands apart from her recent autobiography, why trusting herself as a producer matters more than ever, and how recording with real musicians shaped the sound. Along the way, the conversation wanders into dream logic, songwriting perspectives, live performance energy, Indigenous ways of thinking, and her lifelong love of spiders — and how paying attention to the small, overlooked things might just make us better listeners, better humans, and maybe even better roommates to the creatures in our basements.

    Rewind: Aimee Mann, Joe Henry & Karin Bergquist on Pleased to Meet Me, Chasing Fame, and Commercial Validation

    Taped back in 2012, as Aimee Mann, Joe Henry, and Over the Rhine’s Karin Bergquist were deep in Louisville filming what would become Pleased to Meet Me, the indie music-film directed by Archie Borders and released in 2013. Talking with Kyle Meredith, the trio breaks down the strange thrill of musicians stepping into acting roles, how the movie’s story about forced collaboration mirrored their real-life creative chaos, and why chasing fame had already lost its appeal. Along the way, they got candid about the fear of embarrassing themselves, the freedom that came after the music industry’s collapse, and why discovery — not commercial validation — is the only thing worth showing up for.

    Walker Scobell on Growing Up as Percy Jackson, Season 2’s Physical Turn, and Teasing Kate McKinnon in Season 3

    Walker Scobell sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about jumping back into the role that changed everything as Percy Jackson and the Olympians heads into its bigger, more physical second season on Disney+, opening up about how stepping away between seasons actually made him a better actor, why Season 2 demanded more stunt work and endurance, and how growing up in real time messes with audience perception on a long-gestating effects-heavy show. Along the way he reflects on working opposite Michael Douglas in Looking Through Water, learning on the fly fight choreography scenes that took weeks to shoot only to end up on the cutting room floor, and why improvisation can suddenly become canon. Plus, he teases Season 3 moments with Kate McKinnon that nearly broke him on set, talks about sharing scenes with comedy heavyweights, and explains why sometimes the best prep is just going back to school and being a normal kid for a while.

    Morgan Neville on Why 1975 Still Feels Uncomfortably Familiar

    Filmmaker Morgan Neville sits down with Kyle Meredith to unpack his Netflix documentary Breakdown 1975, a deep dive into a year when America seemed to collectively lose its footing and still made some of its greatest movies in the process. Neville explains why you can’t tell the story of 1975 without the years around it, how post-Watergate anxiety, cultural whiplash, and political exhaustion bled directly into films like Chinatown, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Jaws, and Star Wars, and why that moment eerily mirrors where we find ourselves 50 years later. The conversation also touches on New Hollywood’s last great gasp, the rise of Reagan-era thinking before Reagan ever took office, how movies functioned as a national therapy session, and why the shared theatrical experience itself now feels endangered.
