Kyle Meredith With...

The Killers’ Brandon Flowers joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band’s upcoming best-of collection. The frontman tells us how their new single, "Your Side of Town," is a nod to the music of his teenage years, and goes on to dish on the vault of unreleased songs that the band has accumulated over the years, as well as how they chose which tracks would make the new compilation. Flowers also discusses what attracts him to writing about the type of characters that populated last year’s Pressure Machine, the role of religion in his lyrics, and how he’s working on a record that might end up being a new solo album. We also hear how his musical North Stars have changed and about talking with Eddie Vedder about Kenny Rogers.

Cooking author and chef Courtney McBroom joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the new Apple TV limited series, Lessons In Chemistry, which stars Brie Larson as a chemist in the 1950s constantly having to prove herself against a male-dominated field, eventually finding an easier route and use for her skills as the host of a cooking show. McBroom tells us about consulting on a show like this, what the food of the 1950s was generally defined by, and how Larson is also a great cook in real life. She also dissects Larson’s character arch from cooking with her scientific mind to eventually learning more about using her heart to connect with the people around her, as well as treating the food as a character and catalyst, and which decade she has the most fun emulating in her own cooking.

Felicia Day joins Kyle Meredith to talk about her new Audible Original series, Third Eye, a comedy love letter to sci-fi and fantasy that tells the story of Laurel, a “Chosen One” wizard still grappling with the fallout of failing a decade earlier in her fight with an ultimate evil villain and also features the voices of Neil Gaiman, Wil Wheaton, Sean Astin, Lily Pichy, Danny Pudi, Alan Tudyk, London Hughes, Christopher Judge, and “Weird” Al Yankovic. The actress/writer tells how she originally envisioned a TV show to follow up her series, The Guild, that reflected parts of her own life where she felt like a failure who didn’t live up to professional expectations, why she prefers darker British-style comedy to self-satisfying American, and making “a grim fantasy.” The two then nerd out on the Easter eggs, inside jokes, and how she chose which language to use for the spells cast by the characters, as well as the music she was listening to while creating the story (Trey Anastasio, Unknown Mortal orchestra, First Aid Kit), and why its so easy to trash the 2000s.

Tedeschi goes on to reveal how Led Zeppelin and grunge music inspired some of her darker songs, the time she once played her own high school prom, how she privately wants to make a punk album, and the fun Tedeschi Trucks Band had made last year’s concept album, I Am The Moon.

Kristin Hersh catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her latest solo album, Clear Pond Road. The Throwing Muses leader tells us about trashing an album she was working on prior to this new set, how the title comes from a sign she found in a junk shop and how it gave her direction, as well as the generally strong sense of place the LP focuses on, especially New Orleans and Southern California. Hersh also discusses how she writes songs to discover something for herself, her love of classic Nick At Nite like Bewitched (which she named a new song after) and Leave It To Beaver, how she once played an Australian show under a big tree that she thought was supposed to be a club, and how the guitar she picks up dictates whether the song will end up as a solo cut or with Throwing Muses of 50 Foot Wave.
