Here’s a preview of another music podcast we love, Broken Record. Music and storytelling meet on Broken Record, where artists across genres and generations sit down to explore the joy, chaos, and vulnerability of creating—and what it means to devote a life to music. From legendary icons to groundbreaking new voices, each episode captures artists in conversation sharing the inspirations and experiences that shape their craft. Shirley Manson, frontwoman of 90s rock band Garbage, joined to chat about the one piece of advice that shapes her creative process, the challenges of communicating with bandmates, and the time she met one her musical heroes, Patti Smith. If you like what you hear, find more episodes of Broken Record on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
