    Rewind: John Cleese on Cats, Comedy, Monty Python, and BBC Cowards

    On this archive episode of Kyle Meredith with..., Meredith rewinds to his conversation with John Cleese. The iconic comedian discusses his 2017 tour, various projects, and how he reflects on his life. Listen to the talk from the vault. Speaking about his then-upcoming Louisville appearance, he expressed appreciation for his American fans, who he finds kind and receptive — contrasting that with the treatment he often receives from the British press. Cleese also discussed his love for cats and his comedic journey, attributing his fascination with human psychology as a major influence in his work. The conversation also touched on Hold the Sunset, originally titled "Edith," which marked Cleese’s return to television after a long hiatus. He had some pointed words for BBC executives, lamenting their cautious approach in commissioning the show’s future despite positive feedback. The frustration he shared seemed to reflect his broader views on the evolving landscape of television, where executives, unlike those from his Monty Python days, often lack hands-on creative experience.

    Black Francis on Pixies' The Night the Zombies Came and Teenager of the Year's 30th Anniversary

    Kyle Meredith catches up with Black Francis of Pixies to discuss their latest release, The Night the Zombies Came. The frontman also touches on the current touring landscape (they're on the road with Pearl Jam in Australia and New Zealand, and launch their EU/UK headlining tour next spring; get tickets here) and his 1994 solo album, Teenager of the Year. Listen now. Discussing the creative process behind The Night the Zombies Came, Black Francis dives into how certain themes, like the undead, seem to manifest organically in the studio. Rather than forcing a concept album or rock opera, he believes in allowing themes to arise naturally, creating a mood that’s more impressionistic than narrative-driven. Looking ahead, fans of his solo work have reason to celebrate as Francis is gearing up to tour for the 30th anniversary of Teenager of the Year under his Frank Black moniker. (The trek kicks off in January, and you can get tickets here.) Reflecting on that album, he recalls its chaotic, joyful recording process, marred by natural disasters and relocations but ultimately fueled by creative freedom. Listen to the Pixies' Black Francis chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

    The Cast of Shrinking on Improv, Personal Growth, and the Music That Picks Them Up

    The cast of Shrinking is back on Apple TV+ for Season 2, and Kyle Meredith sat down with several key members to discuss the evolution of their characters and the importance of the show’s themes. The cast, including Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Lukita Maxwell, Ted McGinley and Michael Urie, brings a balance of humor and heart to their performances. Listen to their chat. With Bill Lawrence (creator of Scrubs, Cougar Town, Ted Lasso) leading the charge, Season 2 dives deeper into grief and forgiveness, while still maintaining its sharp comedic edge. Music plays a crucial role in setting the tone for Shrinking, with Christa Miller at the helm of selecting many tracks. Miller cites Angie McMahon’s "Letting Go" and The Strokes’ "Bad Decisions" as highlights that struck an emotional chord throughout pivotal moments. Bill Lawrence also adds, “The music needs to be cerebral and reflect the human condition, especially considering the show’s focus on therapy.” The cast also delves into how music plays a part in their own lives. From Jessica Williams’ love for Rilo Kiley to Tennie's appreciation of Vulfpeck, it’s clear that music helps them connect with the roles they play. Williams, who plays Gabby, talks about the blend of scripted lines and improv that makes the show’s comedic timing so effortless. Similarly, Luke Tennie (Shaun) shares how his character adds weight to the show, often grounding the more comedic moments with emotional intensity.

    Tony Hale on Woman of the Hour, Arrested Development, and Veep

    Rewind: Depeche Mode on Sci-fi Soundscapes, Covers, and a Spirit of Experimentation

    This week’s Rewind looks back at three separate interviews with the members of Depeche Mode. Listen to host Kyle Meredith chat with the new wave legends. In 2021, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore sat down separately to discuss their respective projects, offering a glimpse into Depeche Mode’s sonic evolution during an ever-changing world. Gahan’s collaboration with Soulsavers, Imposter, was an introspective dive into reinterpretation, exploring the deep connection between himself and songs from icons like Bob Dylan, Cat Power, and Elvis Presley. Gore’s solo effort, The Third Chimpanzee, took an entirely different path — an instrumental journey inspired by primal themes, sci-fi soundscapes, and a contemplative pandemic solitude. Then, in a 2017 interview, Andy Fletcher shared his thoughts on Depeche Mode’s album Spirit, a politically charged statement recorded at a moment when the world seemed especially polarized. Speaking candidly, Fletcher acknowledged that Trump’s election and Brexit had provided unexpected relevance to the record’s lyrics, even though the songs were written well before those events fully unfolded. Listen to Depeche Mode chat about all this and more in the new episode.

    Jerry Cantrell on I Want Blood, Working with Duff McKagan, and the Alice in Chains Songs He Doesn’t Play

    To mark the release of his latest solo record, I Want Blood, Jerry Cantrell joins Kyle Meredith for a discussion on the nuances of balancing legacy and innovation within a long, storied career. Listen to their conversation. Cantrell, who’s best known as the driving force behind Alice in Chains, opens up about the creative process behind his newest album and how the pressure to deliver something fresh remains ever-present, even after decades of success. As Cantrell explains, the solo label can be a bit misleading, as he's anything but alone on I Want Blood. With long-time collaborators like Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica) joining him on the record, the spirit of collaboration runs deep: “You might be the captain, but you need a crew to sail the ship.” Then,Cantrell reflects on maintaining creative momentum in the later stages of his career. He points to other veteran bands still going strong, including Pearl Jam. Listen to Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

    Maynard James Keenan & Les Claypool Celebrate 1,000 Episodes of Kyle Meredith With...

    Kyle Meredith With... is celebrating its milestone 1,000th episode (!!) with an incredible two-guest episode. Host Kyle Meredith sits down with two of rock’s most unique minds, Les Claypool of Primus and Maynard James Keenan of Tool/Puscifer, for a conversation that quickly veers off into the kind of absurdity you might expect. The two rockers talk about thwarting crimes, performing in costumes, and sticky note "message boards" from the early Lollapalooza days. Listen now. Les and Maynard don't hold back on their shared history, recounting how their friendship began in the chaos of the '90s alternative rock scene, where bands like Primus, Tool, and Soundgarden rose as the "alternative" to the mainstream hair metal acts that dominated the airwaves. Their latest collaboration, the "Sessanta Tour" (get tickets to 2025's "Sessanta V2.0 Tour" here!), sees Primus, Puscifer, and Keenan's other band A Perfect Circle sharing the stage all at once. The frontmen joke that playing each other's songs sometimes feels like covering another band — one that comes with a steep learning curve. “It’s like we’re playing each other’s cover songs,” Maynard laughs, adding that the challenge of integrating into someone else’s music keeps them on their toes. As for what’s next, both musicians hint at new projects on the horizon. Claypool is still working with Sean Lennon on another Claypool Lennon Delirium album and has a half-finished project with bluegrass phenom Billy Strings. Keenan, ever elusive, mentions that he’s juggling multiple ideas, but as usual, it’s a matter of timing.
