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.

    Ani DiFranco is my guest on this week’s episode of That’s How I Remember It. Ani is a true force of independent music and she’s done so much: over 20 studio albums, her own record label, a memoir, etc. Plus, she just finished a run performing on Broadway in the musical Hadestown. We talked about all of this as well as her new album Unprecedented Shit, working with producer BJ Burton, being proud to call herself a folk singer, and a lot more.

    Arab Strap

    I am a huge fan of Arab Strap and I was so psyched to visit with Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton and talk about their band and their great new record I’m Totally Fine With It Don’t Give A F**k Anymore. We also talked about NYC restaurant Sammy’s Romanian, moving away from autobiographical songwriting, “Jolly Roger” by Adam & The Ants, the word “stotious”, and so much more. A fantastic talk, please listen and subscribe.

    Iron & Wine

    Iron & Wine

    My guest today is Sam Beam, who writes and records music as Iron & Wine. Sam is an incredibly beautiful and vivid songwriter who has just released a great new album called Light Verse. We talked about whether this might be his funniest record, as well as college shows, The Rescuers, Davey Crocket, wisdom vs. experience, and the value of art being in the creation more than the reception. I loved speaking to Sam about all of this, he’s a fascinating artist. Listen and subscribe!

    Matthew Houck from Phosphorescent is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. I’ve loved Matthew’s music for years and was excited to talk to him about his great new record Revelator, what he learns from covering other artist’s songs, whether geographic moves affect his music, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, moon phases, and his most well-known song "Song for Zula". Matthew was a fantastic guest, and I very much enjoyed our talk. Listen and subscribe.

    Eric Burton (Black Pumas)

    We are back with a new episode of That’s How I Remember It, and we celebrate being back with excellent guest Eric Burton of the Black Pumas. The Black Pumas formed in 2018 and their rise can only be called meteoric. The band went from a bar residency to Grammy nominations and worldwide touring. We talked about this, skateboarding to Albert King, external meanings being attached to the BP song “Colors”, the first meeting with his bandmate Adrian Quesada, meditating before shows, and being present and grateful in the music itself. A great talk, huge thanks to Eric for joining me.
