Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien on Depression, Trauma & Finding Light Again


Listen Later

Ed O'Brien is a member of Radiohead and the artist behind his new solo album "Blue Morpho."

This conversation explores the intersection of creativity and mental health, and the ways transformation so often mirrors the artistic process itself. We get into the prolonged depression that birthed the record, the dark night of the soul, childhood trauma, the surrender that comes with embracing uncertainty, the limits of AI, and much more.

As we talk, we realize his album and my book are circling the very same themes. Call it synchronicity.

Ed is lovely. Enjoy!
