Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig is one of indie’s most thoughtful frontmen, and on TIME CRISIS, he digs into today’s politics and pop culture headlines. Some episodes are serious (he hits the campaign trail with Bernie Sanders, and teaches a masterclass on sampling) and some aren’t (you’ll hear heated debates about Cheetos, Yeezys, and Seinfeld), but each show gets an eclectic soundtrack that spans Drake, David Bowie, Diplo, and Def Leppard. Regular guests include Jonah Hill, Mike D, Alana Haim, and co-host Jake Longstreth, but you never know who could stop by. What you can be sure of: No topic is too high-or-low-brow for Ezra’s hot take.

I feel like this is what goes through a millennials mind on the daily
Great podcast! I like dissecting pop culture! And listening to Ezra and his guests joke around! I don’t know I feel like I am sitting at the cool kids table
There are six flags over Texas. Can I be any clearer?
As proud citizen of New France I could not have picked a better episode to begin my TC listening journey. Loved hearing one of my favorite bands discuss Texas and really enjoyed the song references although there are many more y’all missed! Got some research to do but at least you now know the true origin of Six Flags.
Looking forward to listening to other episodes. Loving the new album.
See y’all in the shiny city of Dallas in June!
Equal parts education and enjoyment
At the heart of it, TC is a chill, conversational vibe from a group of genuine friends. This authentic chemistry allows for long form dives into musical themes (old bands, new bands, production, playing, touring, etc.) but meandering tangents into other aspects of culture and life are never far off.
All that said, the audio production of this show is low-key and high quality at the same time. The hosts are laid back, but keep things moving at a good pace. TC is equally as good being entertaining background noise or a close listen for some worthwhile musical education.
Excellent work from this team!
