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. #1101: Gina Gershon

Post author By vish
Post date June 6, 2026

Gina Gershon is here to discuss her new memoir, AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs, creating the perfect breakfast cereal, how this new book came to fruition, similarities shared between cats and men, why some younger artists see a toughness in her they feel they can’t harness themselves, writing a reflective book about being an independent, somewhat unparented child while caring for and then grieving for her mother, boxing with Bob Dylan and their enduring friendship, the gratitude she receives from fans inspired by her strong characters in Bound and Showgirls and rekindling her conflicted relationship with the latter in its thirtieth anniversary year, what’s next for her, and much more.
