Rewind: Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan and The Dead Milkmen’s Joe Jack Talcum on Turning Political Anxiety Into Punk, Why Reunions Need New Music, and Being Indie Lifers
Sometimes keeping an old band alive means making sure it never turns into an oldies act. On this KMW Rewind, Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan and The Dead Milkmen’s Joe Jack Talcum talk with Kyle Meredith about why new music still matters decades into their careers, with McCaughan looking back at the urgency and anxiety that fueled What a Time to Be Alive and Talcum explaining why The Dead Milkmen only agreed to reunite if they kept writing. They also get into finding creativity inside a longtime band, balancing solo work with the group, and how punk can respond to the world without simply turning songs into newspaper headlines.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

David Dastmalchian on Street Fighter, Building M. Bison’s Cult, and the Tool-Fueled Soundtrack Behind the Role
David Dastmalchian is building M. Bison from the cult leader up. Talking with Kyle Meredith, the actor says the new Street Fighter finds Bison before he’s mastered Psycho Power, which meant digging into dictators, religious movements, and the psychology of getting people to follow you instead of simply playing the big bad boss. He also gets into the Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, Nick Cave, and John Williams-heavy playlist he used to get into character, why director Kitao Sakurai’s practical, anything-goes approach made the set feel like living inside a video game, and becoming friends with co-star Orville Peck. Dastmalchian also talks Grave Conversations, why putting celebrities in coffins gets them opening up fast, and how Good Fiend Films has become a landing spot for the kind of horror, sci-fi, comic book, and genre stories where the weird stuff can still carry some big ideas.Listen to David Dastmalchian chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Rewind: Valerie June and Billy Bragg on Finding Your Voice, Keeping Traditions Alive, and Writing Protest Songs
Songs have lives of their own, and some political ones have an unfortunate habit of becoming relevant all over again. In this KMW Rewind, Valerie June talks with Kyle Meredith across two archival conversations about drawing from spirituals and early blues, teaching herself to play around her voice, and making Pushing Against the Stone and The Order of Time, while Billy Bragg explains why protest writers need to spend as much time on the song as the protest. Along the way, June recalls recording with her family and writing the title track to Mavis Staples’ Livin’ on a High Note, while Bragg reveals how posing as a TV repairman helped launch his career.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jeff Arcuri on Nice to Meet You, Moving Beyond Crowd Work, and Nearly Canceling His Netflix Special
Jeff Arcuri nearly canceled Nice to Meet You before therapy, trusted comic friends, and a month away from the footage helped him see what he had made. The comedian talks with Kyle Meredith about how corporate gigs, cruise ships, and 15 years of stand-up shaped his crowd work, while the Netflix special finally proves there’s much more to his act than improvisation. Arcuri also opens up about finding the right way to address his wife Katie’s cancer diagnosis, the strange sadness that followed the taping, adjusting his delivery overseas, and already having enough material for a new hour that he now needs to start cutting jokes.Listen to Jeff Arcuri chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Rewind: Slowdive on Their Unexpected Second Act, “Star Roving,” and Everything Is Alive
Slowdive’s second act turned out to be much bigger than anyone in the band expected. In this Rewind, bassist Nick Chaplin looks back at the band’s self-titled comeback, the moment “Star Roving” proved they could make new music again, and realizing a younger generation saw them as a current band instead of a legacy act. Neil Halstead then talks with Kyle Meredith about following it with Everything Is Alive, building songs from electronic sketches and happy accidents, and balancing Slowdive’s love of classic pop with their more atmospheric, experimental side.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Brittany Howard on Alabama Shakes’ Surprise Reunion, I Must Be Dreaming, and Finding Hope in an Angry World
Brittany Howard talks with Kyle Meredith about how Alabama Shakes unexpectedly found their way back together after reuniting for a friend’s brewery fundraiser, which led from a few songs to an EP and eventually their first album in more than a decade, I Must Be Dreaming. Howard digs into the record’s psychedelic soul sound, rediscovering old songs like “Hold On” through a new perspective, and how the album found its story where our private fears, doubts, and dreams collide with a pretty uncertain world. She also opens up about having to push herself to write when she wanted to disappear, why the anger she sees right now actually gives her hope, and joining the Power to the People concert alongside one of her heroes, Tom Morello.Listen to Brittany Howard chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Patrick Renna & Danielle Fishel on Dugout Dads, Reuniting The Sandlot Cast, and Why Nostalgia Can’t Be Recreated
Dugout Dads reunites some familiar faces, but Patrick Renna and Danielle Fishel have no interest in trying to recreate The Sandlot or Boy Meets World. The longtime friends talk with Kyle Meredith about Renna turning the insanity of Little League parents into a new comedy series, bringing his Sandlot castmates back as fictionalized versions of themselves, and why Fishel sees the whole thing as “rebooting a cast” instead of rebooting a classic. They also get into Renna independently funding and building the series for YouTube, plans to expand it into a full season with more of a Curb Your Enthusiasm feel, and the cameos already lining up, including Creed Bratton, Michael Peña, and potentially Seth Green.Listen to Patrick Renna and Danielle Fishel chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Grace Cummings on Bloodhorse, Studio Scythes, and Her AI Bro-Country Detour
Grace Cummings made Bloodhorse! like it might be the last thing she ever does, and that meant finally shutting out the voice telling her she was “too much.” Cummings talks with Kyle Meredith about going bigger and stranger with producer Jonathan Wilson, the animals and mythology running through the record, and how its themes only started revealing themselves after she finished it. She also gets into the hilarious AI-generated bro-country song buried in the middle of Bloodhorse!, why it’s deliberately surrounded by very real musicians playing very real instruments, and the joyful release behind “Witch,” including the moment Wilson handed her an actual scythe and sent her back in to sing it again.Listen to Grace Cummings chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.
