Maggie Rogers

Maggie Rogers and Nile Rodgers first bonded while taking part in a discussion for Apple Music’s “100 Best Albums” in 2024. Since then, they've become firm friends, and in this equally fascinating and hilarious conversation, they reveal the many areas in which their lives deeply connect. Central among these connections is their shared belief that making music "has to be fun!" When they reveal details about their recent songwriting collaboration, Nile admits, "We've been f**king laughing for an hour; we did that s**t in 10 minutes!” And when Maggie cracks up recalling how her song "The Kill" simply doesn't translate well to giant sports stadiums, Nile can't contain his laughter either. It's a frank, honest, and genuinely funny moment in a very special conversation. The episode dives into Maggie Rogers' personal stories and secrets behind some of her most significant songs, beginning with one of her earliest tracks written in high school (“I can really f**k up a sad, melancholy mid-tempo ballad”). They discuss their respective collaborations, including Maggie's experience working with Zach Bryan on "Dawns," and Nile’s partnership with Peter Gabriel, specifically the track that still frustrates Nile for never becoming a big hit. Maggie also reflects on her breakthrough song "Alaska," explaining how its success led her to question everything and why reliving personal emotions through music every night feels "so deeply abnormal." All episodes of Deep Hidden Meaning are available to Apple Music subscribers on Apple Podcasts.

Nile Rodgers on his digital portrait, composer Hannah Peel

Nile Rodgers – guitarist, producer, songwriter, arranger, and co-founder of Chic in the 1970s – is the subject of what claims to be the world’s first voice-interactive digital portrait, In the Room with Nile Rodgers, in association with the National Portrait Gallery. Nile Rodgers and the project's director, Sarah Coward, discuss and explain the ambitious artwork. Hannah Peel’s latest album Fir Wave is inspired by nature, and finds links between patterns in nature and in early electronic music. She explains the inspiration behind her new album, how she’s reinterpreted iconic music by the Radiophonic Workshop, and why Delia Derbyshire is such an important figure for her.

Nile Rodgers: Broken Record Classic

Today we are revisiting one of our favorite early episodes of Broken Record with the legendary producer, Nile Rodgers. Over the course of his five decade-long career, Nile Rodgers has performed on, written, and produced some of the greatest dance songs of all time, including Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out,” Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” and Madonna’s “Like A Virgin.” Back in Fall of 2018, Nile met up with Bruce Headlam at the same New York City recording studio where 35 years earlier, Nile recorded the Let’s Dance album with David Bowie. This time around, Nile brought his famed disco funk band Chic to the interview to perform live renditions of their classic hits including, “Le Freak,” “Good Times,” and “Everybody Dance.” So all the music you will hear in today’s episode was recorded live, just for us. In between performances, Nile shares exhilarating stories from his life, including how he found salvation as a young jazz guitarist whose teenage mom struggled with heroin addiction. Nile also talks about the night he played old James Brown tunes with Prince and Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood at a small club in London. And he explains what it was like going clubbing with Madonna as her star was starting to explode in the mid-’80s. You can listen to a playlist of some of our favorite songs produced by Nile Rodgers HERE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
