Post date March 10, 2026

Bill Frisell is here to discuss his new sextet record, In My Dreams, the different American and European cities he has lived in over the years and how they might inform his musical practice, his 75^th birthday and the March 2026 tour dates that mark the occasion, a dream about music and its possibilities that he had 30 years ago and is still processing, the lessons mistakes teach us, how film noir scores and the work of Alfred Hitchcock film composer Bernard Hermann may have found their way to In My Dreams, the time he saw Bob Dylan and the Hawks in 1966 and why Dylan might be into Bill’s latest record, what inspired him to put together the In My Dreams sextet, future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1072: Ani DiFranco

Ani DiFranco returns to discuss her new book, The Spirit of Ani: Reflections on Spirituality, Feminism, Music & Freedom, her involvement in establishing the Buffalo, New York arts hub known as Babeville, which is where I last saw Shellac play a show, why Buffalo was fertile ground for an aspiring musician, what prompted her to write this book with Lauren Coyle Rosen, the evolution of her position on God as an entity or name for our collective consciousness, striving for communication and connectedness, pondering fearlessness and perceptions of confidence, living in an age of disembodied music, distinguishing between escapism and transcendence, self-reflection borne of parenting, loving The Telepathy Tapes podcast, working on a soundtrack for a documentary, theatrical projects and her recent stint acting on Broadway, upcoming book events and tour dates, other future plans, and much more.

All Things Konsidered: The Beatles Anthology

1 Comment on All Things Konsidered: The Beatles Anthology

During Family Day in Canada, my wife and kids and I gathered around our kitchen table to discuss our shared experience watching all nine episodes of The Beatles Anthology documentary series. Please enjoy two parents and their 14- and 11-year-old children reflecting upon what we learned and liked about the Beatles, including who loves John, Paul, George, and Ringo the most. One correction: contrary to what I stated during this talk, Elvis Presley did in fact perform outside of the United States of America for a run of shows in Canada, sorry.

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
