  • Podcast Preview: Fela Kuti: Fear No Man
    Subscribe to ⁠Fela Kuti: Fear No Man⁠. In a world that’s on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed? In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world’s biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela’s Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela’s life, music, and legacy.

  • Gus Unger-Hamilton (alt-J) with Tom Vek
    On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast, we’ve got two British gentlemen who made big waves in the past couple of decades and who’ve collided just recently for a celebratory remix: It’s Tom Vek and Gus Unger-Hamilton. Tom Vek released his instant-classic debut We Have Sound back in 2005, putting his own spin on post-punk and dance and riding the wave of so-called “indietronica” with catchy tracks like “Nothing But Green Lights.” He hasn’t exactly been prolific since then, releasing quality albums every few years while also working hard in other areas of the industry: Check out both supercollector.com and his upcoming music player, Sleevenote. But in celebration of We Have Sound’s 20th anniversary, Vek asked a bunch of friends and fellow musicians to remix each of the album’s tracks, including folks like Baths, Glass Animals, and the other half of today’s conversation, Gus Unger-Hamilton of the band alt-J. Check Unger-Hamilton’s remix of Vek’s song “Cover” right here. It’s unsurprising that Unger-Hamilton put his own spin on Vek’s song: alt-J has been scribbling in the bombastic, weirder corners of indie-rock and art-rock for since 2007, though they didn’t release their big debut, An Awesome Wave, until 2012. They’ve since embraced their oddness on a string of records, with the latest being 2022’s The Dream, which was hailed at the time as a return to the power of their debut. New music is likely on the horizon, though as you’ll hear in this chat, alt-J is currently without a label home.  Label homes are one of many things these two chat about in this lively conversation: They’re both into the logos of their favorite record companies, they’re both really into fancy watches, and they’re both back into the lost art of reading a good book. Though Gus admits he hasn’t read a particular novel that his band famously borrowed a title from. Listen and find out which one.

  • Andy Samberg with Asa Taccone (Electric Guest)
    On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast we’ve got two old friends who’ve worked together on such culture-crushing songs as “Dick in a Box”—one of whom is known more for the music, and the other for the funny. It’s Andy Samberg and Asa Taccone. Samberg you surely know for his years on Saturday Night Live and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and tons of big movies. Before all that he was part of the trio The Lonely Island, which blew up on SNL with “Dick in a Box,” among other hilarious jams. The Lonely Island also features Jorma Taccone, and when Samberg and Taccone needed some musical help for their SNL shorts, they would often call Jorma’s brother Asa, who helped them shape “Dick in a Box,” “Motherlover” and plenty of other songs. But Asa’s less inclined toward the funny stuff that his childhood friends are known for; he’s been making his own decidedly less silly music since 2011 in collaboration with Matthew “Cornbread” Compton under the name Electric Guest. The duo just released their first album since 2019, and it’s called 10K—you’ll hear the meaning behind the name in this chat. As you’ll hear, there’s no jokey rap to be found, just a compelling mix of soulful pop: You might not be surprised to learn that in recent years Taccone has also collaborated with the likes of The Weeknd and Carly Rae Jepsen. Check out “Play Your Guitar” from 10K right here. As you’ll hear, Samberg and Taccone are pretty comfortable with each other, because their friendship goes way back. They talk about Samberg’s decision to take a swing at the big time, Lonely Island deep cuts, and the alternate name that Electric Guest briefly considered. Enjoy.

  • Nobody’s Ever Asked Me That: Crispin Hellion Glover
    On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast’s spin-off series, host Nick Dawson sits down with actor turned writer-director Crispin Hellion Glover, who is currently starring in both the Kafka-esque drama Mr. K and his third directorial feature, No! YOU'RE WRONG. or: Spooky Action at a Distance, which also stars his father, Bruce Glover, who passed away earlier this year. In a wide-ranging conversation, Glover talks about the acting job he’s still mad he missed out on at 13, supernatural goings on at the chateau he bought in the Czech Republic, his very imaginative alternative to traveling by car, plus his hopes for the future of AI (which is not what you’d think) and his understandable reservations about self-cloning.

  • Nobody’s Ever Asked Me That: Tim Blake Nelson
    On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast’s spin-off series, host Nick Dawson sits down with actor, writer-director, playwright and novelist Tim Blake Nelson, who can currently be seen in the boxing drama Bang Bang and whose new play And Then We Were No More is now at La MaMa in New York City. In a personal, profound and often surprising conversation, Nelson opens up about everything from his morning routine to his recurring dreams, from his earliest childhood memories – some of which are truly remarkable – to a pivot point in his life that was transformative.
