D'Arcy Carden on Loot, Accents, & Maya Rudolph Extended Kissing Scenes

D’Arcy Carden talks with Kyle Meredith about dropping into the latest season of Loot on Apple TV+ as Adam Scott’s extremely extra “Italian” girlfriend Lutiana/Ashley-Kate, and how much of that bananas character (and those Italian/Delaware accents) came from the page vs. her own improv. We get into working with director Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney, shooting in Australia with Will Forte, and how she balances all of this with her other work in The Good Place, A League Of Their Own, and Barry. Darcy also digs into her very real music-nerd side — birthday shows at Largo with the Crutchfield sisters’ Snocaps and Waxahatchee band, surprise moments with Lenny Kravitz, Jeff Tweedy, Courtney Barnett, Aidy Bryant, and more — before we wrap it up with who she wants to see in the Rock Hall next.

Juliana Hatfield on Lightning Might Strike, Grief, Moving Out of the City

Juliana Hatfield stops by to talk with Kyle Meredith about her 20th album, Lightning Might Strike, a pop-rock gem born from a rough couple of years that included loss, depression, and uprooting her longtime city life for a house in the woods. She digs into writing through a “long, slow, nervous breakdown,” finding narrative threads in songs like “Falls Apart,” the unexpected heaviness behind “Popsicle,” and how working alone at home slowed the process but sharpened the focus. Hatfield also reflects on her early days with the Blake Babies, why some of that catalog is hard to revisit, her recurring lyric motifs, and the possibility of returning to her acclaimed cover-album series—this time with a full R.E.M. tribute.

Lou Gramm on Foreigner’s Vault Tracks, New Album, and Hitting the Stage Again

Kyle Meredith talks with Lou Gramm — the original voice of Foreigner — about returning to the stage for select 50th-anniversary shows and revisiting the unheard cuts tied to the 40th anniversary of Foreigner 4. Lou digs into finishing those long-lost vault tracks, matching his classic vocal grit decades later, and the surprising emotional spark that came from hearing those old tapes again. He also gets into sobriety, balance, and how touring culture has shifted since the early days. Plus, he tells Kyle about his first new solo album in years — arriving in March — blending newly written material with songs he started decades ago.

Fraggle Rock Holiday Magic with Gobo Fraggle & John Tartaglia

Kyle Meredith dives into the world of Fraggle Rock with both the eternal explorer and the man who brings him to life. First up, Gobo Fraggle stops by to talk about the new holiday special "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock," breaking down his very first real snowfall, the panic of hitting “rock block,” and the unexpected outer-space songwriting session with Lele Pons that helped him find the season’s big song. Gobo also chats about his musical heroes, holiday traditions shared between Fraggles and silly creatures, and what it’s like braving the bright, noisy surface world. Then Kyle talks with John Tartaglia — showrunner, puppeteer, and the voice behind Gobo — about taking on a character with decades of mythology, pulling inspiration from classic specials like "The Bells of Fraggle Rock," and weaving in new characters and subtle callbacks for longtime fans. John gets into the surreal moment of meeting Gobo on camera, the influence of original performer Jerry Nelson, and why Gobo’s stubborn optimism makes him braver than he is in real life. It’s a two-part trip through Fraggle lore, holiday spirit, and childhood-dream territory.

Sarah Bareilles on Come See Me In The Good Light, Andrea Gibson, and Finding Her Way Back to Music

Kyle Meredith talks with Sarah Bareilles about executive-producing the new Apple TV documentary Come See Me In The Good Light, which follows poet laureate Andrea Gibson and their wife Megan Falley as they navigate an incurable cancer diagnosis with humor, honesty, and love. Sarah shares how discovering Andrea’s work during her own period of grief pulled her toward the project at exactly the right moment, how she and Brandi Carlile turned one of Andrea’s poems into the film’s original song “Salt and Sour and Sweet,” and why collaborating on Andrea’s words was unlike any songwriting she’s done before. She also chats with Kyle about her upcoming album—her first since "Amidst The Chaos"—including how grief shaped the writing and how Andrea’s voice even appears on one of the new tracks. Plus, Sarah reflects on the healing power of comedy while revisiting Girls5Eva and hints at hopes for more stories with the group down the road.
