That's How I Remember It

That’s How I Remember It is a podcast that examines the connection between memory and creativity. Each episode will feature a discussion between Craig Finn and one creator — a musician, author, filmmaker, etc. — about the role that memory plays in their art. These conversations will reveal the different ways each creator synthesizes their remembered life experiences to tell stories about themselves and the world we live in. This podcast is not a nostalgia trip, but rather an exciting conversation about storytelling, process, and the desire to create art that reflects the world the artist has experienced. That’s How I Remember It is co-produced and distributed by Talkhouse.

    Jesse Malin

    Jesse Malin is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. A complete legend of NYC rock and roll, Jesse suffered a spinal stroke in 2023 and has been rehabilitating since. His songs are covered in a new tribute album with a star-studded lineup. Many of these artists will be playing the Beacon Theater in December when Malin and his band take the stage for the first time since the stroke. We talked about all of that as well as playing with the Misfits in 1981, seeing the Ramones for the first time, and so much more. Was a thrill to spend this time with Jesse.

    Kathleen Edwards is my guest on this very special episode of That’s How I Remember It. We were on tour together in September in Europe, and this was recorded live in front of an audience in Odense Denmark at the wonderful Nashville Nights festival before Kathleen and I also performed a show where we traded songs back and forth. On this podcast we talked about creating worlds where you’d want to live in songs, Whitney Houston, playing violin, John Mellencamp, clubbing in South Korea, Greggs sausage rolls, whether living in Florida has affected her songwriting, and so much more. I loved touring with Kathleen and loved talking to her here. Enjoy, listen and subscribe!  This episode is brought to you by DistroKid.
