Ep. #1076: Morgan Nagler

Morgan Nagler is here to discuss her long-awaited debut solo album, I’ve Got Nothing to Lose, and I’m Losing It, her connection to nature, compiling songs she wrote during a long relationship that she realized predicted the end of that relationship, fuelling up with grassoline, a deep bond she has formed with Kim Deal after Deal suggested they write songs together, her prolific child acting career and the clever way she earned a role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, encountering Michael Jackson during a screen test for the “Smooth Criminal” video, whether she’ll ever act again, the dynamic, multi-genre sound of her new record, future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1065: Brian Raftery on ‘Hannibal Lecter: A Life’

Post author By vish
Post date February 7, 2026

Brian Raftery is here to discuss his excellent new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life, the Burbank Burger King from Back to the Future, what exactly prompted him to explore the origin story and pervasiveness of Hannibal Lecter, his mysterious and seldom-interviewed creator, the best-selling author Thomas Harris, why people love fictitious and apparently also real-life antiheroes, a rundown of the history of Lecter in literature, television, and film beyond The Silence of the Lambs and why Brian Cox was such a compelling Hannibal, how the character is scarier the less we see of him, a great Patton Oswalt bit about prequels, the underrated NBC series Hannibal, why Donald Trump may have started saying, “The late, great Hannibal Lecter” at his political rallies, whether we may ever hear from Harris and Lecter again, Brian’s future plans, and much more!
