    Shinedown’s Brent Smith on "A Symptom of Being Human," Olivia Rodrigo’s Rock Status & Their Next LP

    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.

    Sarah Dowland on Sue Bird: In the Clutch, WNBA & Caitlin Clark’s Record-Breaking Season

    Sarah Dowland on Sue Bird: In the Clutch, WNBA & Caitlin Clark’s Record-Breaking Season

    Sarah Dowland joins Kyle Meredith to talk about her documentary, Sue Bird: In the Clutch. The documentarian, who is also behind the legendary visual effects for several Harry Potter and Matrix films, tells us why she wanted to tell the story of the basketball legend leading up to Bird’s retirement, why we look up to athletes, and the great coincidence of this doc coming out during Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking season and massive ratings for women’s basketball playoffs. Dowland also talks about the important stories told within the doc about the WNBA’s pay gap and looks back at when the players were encouraged to hide their sexuality, as well as the levity of seeing that Sue Bird and partner Megan Rapinoe keep their Olympic medals in shoeboxes in their closets.

    The Bacon Brothers on Tattoos, Airport Bars & Covering Pat Benatar

    Legendary actor Kevin Bacon and his big brother and film composer Michael Bacon join Kyle Meredith to discuss the new album from their collaborative musical project The Bacon Brothers, Ballad of the Brothers. Listen to the new episode now.
    The duo talk about their upbringings in Philadelphia and how the setting has shaped their sound. While on the topic of foundational influences, the brothers also mention airport bars, tattoos, and their respective careers. Kevin, in particular, explains how his acting career helps him find different voices for each song. "I've always like singers who find a different place depending on the song they happen to be sinning," Kevin explains.
    As Ballad of the Brothers dropped on April 19th, the same day as the new Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam albums, the two also explain their secret weapon for topping the charts: the autoharp. "I think that's gonna knock Taylor Swift off #1," Michael says as Kevin laughs.
