    Rewind: Marty Stuart & Justin Townes Earle on Cowboy Psychedelia and Surviving the Storm

    Here’s a double feature: Marty Stuart joined Kyle Meredith in 2017 to talk about his album Way Out West, a record that drifts between cowboy songs, desert psychedelia, surf rock, and even flying saucers, all captured with help from Heartbreaker Mike Campbell. Stuart also opened up about his deep ties with Native communities, his lifelong love of California’s mythology, and how Western folklore still fuels his songwriting. And going back to 2012, the late Justin Townes Earle sat down with Kyle to talk about Nothing's Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now. Fresh off Harlem River Blues, he spoke about wearing a reputation like armor, barely surviving his 20s, finding clarity at 30, and writing songs that doubled as studies of American roots music. Two different visions of Americana, both with their eyes on the horizon.

    Ian Astbury on The Cult, Death Cult, and the Fire That Still Burns

    Ian Astbury of The Cult catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about touring both The Cult and their short-lived precursor #DeathCult on the new Paradise Now tour. Astbury digs into the Orwellian echoes of 1983, why revisiting Death Cult feels like a “zero point” reset, and how it recharges his artistic DNA. He also reflects on being an outlier in the mainstream, the contradictions of fame, and his frustrations with the loss of danger in modern rock. Along the way, he touches on performing with Tool, his martial arts discipline, memories of Live Aid, and the enduring mission of “gathering the tribes.” Listen to Ian Astbury chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.

    Rewind: Colin Hay & Bruce Cockburn on Longevity, Loss, and Still Finding the Songs

    Kyle Meredith sat down with Colin Hay at both Bonnaroo 2012 and again in 2017, and with Bruce Cockburn that same year, to talk about the strange gifts of staying power. Hay reflected on turning his between-song stories into a comedy tent set, losing Men at Work bandmate Greg Ham while hitting the 30th anniversary of their debut, and how songs can always be reborn if you bring fresh energy. By 2017, he was releasing a new album alongside the documentary Waiting for My Real Life, talking about “songs from being a certain age,” dodging the idea of retirement, and why his past never really feels like the past. Cockburn, meanwhile, was celebrating his Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and the release of Bone On Bone, sparked back into writing after a tribute to poet Al Purdy. He spoke on spirituality as the foundation of his politics, compassion as the throughline, and how even after 25 albums, he’s still chasing that next inspired idea. Together, the conversations capture two icons who refuse to coast on nostalgia—choosing instead to keep creating, keep touring, and keep searching for the next great song.

    Cassandra Peterson on Elvira’s Cookbook From Hell, Jack White, and Living the Goth Lifestyle

    The one and only Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, drops in to talk with Kyle Meredith about her new book Elvira’s Cookbook From Hell. Cassandra Peterson digs into why it took decades to convince publishers this was more than a Halloween gag, but rather a year-round goth lifestyle guide, complete with stories from her childhood, her time in Italy (where she learned to cook and, oh yeah, got kidnapped), and even recipes tied to the 1988 Elvira: Mistress of the Dark film. She also talks about putting the book fully in Elvira’s voice, her friendship with Jack White (thanks to Pee-wee Herman), the possibility of future music releases, and why Halloween should last 365 days a year.

    Alyvia Alyn Lind Unpacks the Cults, Trauma, and Tunes of Wayward

    Alyvia Alyn Lind joins Kyle Meredith to talk all about the Netflix series Wayward, where she plays a teen trapped in a so-called therapeutic school with cult vibes and a whole lot of buried trauma. The Chucky and Spiderwick Chronicles star digs into the psychological layers of the show, the early-2000s setting (and killer soundtrack featuring Third Eye Blind and Pink Floyd), and what it was like collaborating with creator/co-star Mae Martin. She also touches on her horror fandom, her love of Halloween, her scenes with the legendary Toni Collette, and how the cast went from crying on camera to shooting parody musicals at lunch. Listen to Alyvia Alyn Lind chat about all this and more or watch the interview on YouTube.

    Jeff Tweedy on Twilight Override, Making a Triple Album, and Radical Hope

    Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy joins Kyle Meredith to dive into his ambitious new triple solo album, Twilight Override. Clocking in at 30 songs across three discs, the project explores the past, present, and future—not as a rigid concept record, but as a flowing arc of memory, meaning, and hope. Tweedy shares how the record was inspired by the voices of his touring band, and how writing for their harmonies pushed the songs into new emotional territory. He also reflects on post-pandemic generational trauma, the ongoing challenge of maintaining empathy in a fractured world, and the creative power in resisting doomscroll culture. From the autobiographical storytelling of “parking lots” to the messy guitar solos and meditative closing track “Enough,” it’s a generous and unguarded collection—released, hilariously, on the 30th anniversary of Wilco’s debut. No nostalgia tours here, just a big-hearted flood of new music.

    Michael Chiklis, Mary Stuart Masterson & Rob Corddry on The Senior and Redefining Second Chances

    The cast of The Senior -- Michael Chiklis, Rob Corddry, and Mary Stuart Masterson -- along with the actual former football player the movie is based upon, Mike Flynt, join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film's wild-but-true story. The Senior follows Flynt as he becomes the older player to ever suit up for a college football team -- at the age of 59. Chiklis, who was also 59 when filming, talks about the physical toll of hitting the field, how he approached portraying a living person, and why this became one of the most meaningful projects of his career. Corddry and Masterson, who play Flynt's coach and wife, respectively, discuss finding unexpected emotional depth in their characters, navigating the real people behind the roles (including Eileen Flynt watching on set), and how the film explores masculinity, redemption, faith, and the long game of unfinished business. It’s a sports movie, sure — but one that trades cliché locker room speeches for something a lot more human. Listen to the cast of The Senior discuss the new movie or watch the interviews via YouTube: Michael Chiklis and Mike Flynt here, and Rob Corddry and Mary Stuart Masterson here. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.

    Hannah Stocking, Madison Pettis & Yvonne Orji on The Wrong Paris, Reality TV, and Playing Big Characters

    Hannah Stocking, Madison Pettis, and Yvonne Orji talk with Kyle Meredith about The Wrong Paris on Netflix — where a contestant (played by Miranda Cosgrove) signs up for a Parisian dating show and lands in Paris, Texas instead, plotting an early exit until feelings complicate the plan. We get into audition choices (including a full-throttle Southern accent), improv on set, playing “ambitiously passionate” reality-show personas, and how Yvonne’s hosting on real-life dating shows informed her in-film emcee. It’s backstage chaos, bull-riding bruises, and a surprisingly sweet heart under the satire—all in a fast, funny hang with Kyle Meredith.
