Ep. #1116: Robyn Hitchcock

Post author By vish
Post date July 23, 2026

Robyn Hitchcock is here to discuss his new memoir, Stranded in the Future, and his new album, The Confuser, surreal song and prose writing, being haunted by lifelong muses, a fear of being boring, pondering parenting and figuring yourself out, how attending an all-boys school impacts the empathy you have for people of other genders, why aliens gravitate towards other aliens like Bob Dylan and Syd Barrett, depicting one’s own transcendent dreams and trips, celebrating the past, nostalgia, and sentimentality, a nod to Nick Lowe, loving trams and trolley cars, writing books on your phone, upcoming events, other 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!
