    Maren Morris on the Intermission EP, Women Dominating Pop, and Dolly Parton

    Maren Morris sat down with Kyle Meredith backstage at Bourbon and Beyond to talk about her Intermission EP, a stunning reflection of life in flux. It’s been a whirlwind since Morris released Humble Quest, with the singer-songwriter making bold changes to her career and life. As she told Meredith, “You’re going to have to sacrifice your old life to get to your new one.” Morris describes Intermission as an appetizer of what’s to come, though its emotional weight packs a full-course punch. The standout “I Hope I Never Fall in Love” channels raw heartbreak, with Morris pushing her vocals to a gritty, soul-baring edge. “It needed that desperation and anger,” she said. The EP’s title speaks to the moment: a pause, but hardly a stop. Morris is deep in the creative process, balancing new writing trips with festival performances. “At the end of the day, I’m still an album girl,” she said, clearly inspired by the wave of powerhouse women dominating the charts. But she’s not rushing — this new chapter is unfolding on her terms. Listen to Maren Morris chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

    Susanna Hoffs on The Lost Record, Super-Grouping with The Go-Go’s, and a Forgotten Prince Song

    The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs dives into her personal archive of unreleased gems with The Lost Record, a collection of tracks from the late '90s that are only now seeing the light of day. Chatting with Kyle Meredith, Hoffs recounts how this “lost” album came to be, from its serendipitous origins in her garage to collaborating with the likes of the Tuesday Night Music Club crew, the same musical collective that brought Sheryl Crow's debut album to life. Reflecting on the project’s sound and era, Hoffs talks about her fascination with the ‘90s zeitgeist, Nirvana's influence, and how the garage band feel led to songs like "Under a Cloud," later re-recorded by The Bangles. Among the album's nostalgic gems is a subtle nod to Prince, who famously gifted The Bangles their hit "Manic Monday" in the ‘80s. Recently, Hoffs posted a photo of the original cassette tape from Prince, which bore not only "Manic Monday," but also a second track named "Jealous Girl." Hoffs, who hadn’t heard the song until recently, expressed genuine excitement about finally getting to hear the track that “might have been” in The Bangles' catalog. Hoffs also reveals her ongoing passion for storytelling, both in music and writing. With her debut novel The Bird Has Flown optioned for film, she’s deep in a second draft and working on a follow-up.

Adele also shares her experience covering The Cure's "Lovesong," a choice suggested by producer Rick Rubin, and her deep appreciation for reinterpretations of her music, like Jamie xx's remix of "Rolling in the Deep."

    Hank Azaria on His Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band, Friends, and The Simpsons

    Hank Azaria steps into the spotlight in a new role as the frontman of Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band, channeling his inner Bruce Springsteen for the tribute act that started as a 60th birthday celebration and quickly turned into a regular gig. He's even taking it on the road (get tickets here)! Listen to his conversation with Kyle Meredith, where Azaria delves into his journey from comedic acting to rock 'n' roll, tackling Bruce’s iconic voice, and the emotional thrill of performing Springsteen’s classics on stage. Known for his wide-ranging roles in The Simpsons, Friends, and Brockmire, Azaria reflects on his journey from a being Bruce fan in 1976 to fronting a band that performs regularly. He explains how his fandom grew through bootleg live recordings and endless spins of Springsteen’s first five albums. For Azaria, singing Springsteen’s songs is not only about nailing the impression; it’s an emotional outlet and a way to channel Springsteen's expressive storytelling. Azaria’s new setlist covers Springsteen classics from Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. to Wrecking Ball. Between songs, he uses Springsteen’s classic "talks" style, weaving in personal stories that connect him even further to Bruce’s themes of resilience, creativity, and struggle. Each show also serves as a benefit for his charity, bringing an extra layer of purpose to every performance.

    Matilda De Angelis, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Raj & DK on Citadel’s Diana and Honey Bunny

    In a groundbreaking move to expand the Citadel universe globally, two new series, Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny, take espionage fans from the tech-driven streets of Milan to a retro India filled with unexpected twists. Kyle Meredith sits down with the cast and creatives behind each international adaptation to explore how these stories reinvent the spy genre and connect to the original Prime Video series. For Citadel: Diana, Matilda De Angelis brings a layered portrayal of the title spy, a character with a haunted past navigating the treacherous Manticore syndicate. Set in 2030 Milan but flashing back nearly a decade, Diana’s journey becomes a tale of vengeance and self-discovery. On the other side of the world, Citadel: Honey Bunny rewinds the clock to explore the origin story of Nadia’s parents in India. Directed by Raj and DK and starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Honey Bunny crafts a uniquely Indian twist on the Citadel universe. As Prabhu explains, she had fun playing the dual roles of actress and spy, with Raj and DK joking about the extra challenge of making Samantha act like a “bad actress” at times. The team strived to create a distinct look that reflects the story’s setting in the ‘90s, yet with a modern, high-octane spin. For Raj and DK, the magic of Honey Bunny lies in using localized hacks to achieve Hollywood-caliber stunts, including a high-stakes car fight that pushes creative boundaries. Raj describes the experience as “subverting the system,” aiming to give viewers blockbuster thrills while staying rooted in India’s unique cinematic techniques. Listen to the casts and crews of Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube here and here.

    Suzanne Vega on NYC Rats, Fontaines DC, and Her First LP in Nearly a Decade

    Catching up with Suzanne Vega backstage at Bourbon and Beyond, Kyle Meredith dove into the timeless artist's latest ventures, including her new single “Rats.” Listen now. “Rats" is a gritty homage to New York City's darker corners, inspired by punk mainstays like The Ramones and newer post-punk outfit Fontaines D.C. The timing couldn’t be better: the song dropped alongside the first-ever National Rat Summit in NYC, giving Vega’s track a fitting place among the urban grit it romanticizes. The real news? Vega’s first album since 2016 is set for spring, coincidentally (or not) landing on the 40th anniversary of her iconic self-titled debut. Vega hints that this new record veers between genres; expect everything from folk rock to a Motown-inspired track, and even a song with a California ‘70s vibe. For fans, it’s a return to the kind of thematic storytelling that’s always marked her work, with fresh twists on familiar urban motifs. “Life gets in the way,” she laughs, referring to her longer album hiatus, “but there’s always something in New York to write about.” Listen to Suzanne Vega chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.
