  • Nobody’s Ever Asked Me That: Lili Taylor
    On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast’s spin-off series, host Nick Dawson sits down with iconic actress Lili Taylor, who just published her first book, Turning to Birds, a series of thoughtful, beautifully written and deeply human essays about her consuming passion for birdwatching. In an engrossing conversation, the two discuss how recovery and birding intersect, her love of naps, how nature has shifted her relationship to death, Nick getting barked at by a coyote in the Bronx, braving the acting version of the bends after finishing a role, her amazing way of releasing resentment, facing the unknown, how she’s finding resilience and playing the long game as this country plunges into crisis, and much more.

  • Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with Evan Weiss (Pet Symmetry, Into It. Over It.)
    On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we’ve got two old friends who’ve contributed more than their fair share to the emo world and beyond and lived to tell the tale: Evan Weiss and Chris Carrabba. Carrabba is of course the main creative force behind Dashboard Confessional, whose early albums—specifically The Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most—basically invented the genre’s confessional acoustic-based era. He could’ve made those records a dozen times over the past 20 years, but instead Carrabba filled out Dashboard’s sound over the years, stretching out where the muse took him. Now an elder statesman, Carrabba returned to that simpler sound but brought years of wisdom with him for 2022’s All the Truth That I Can Tell, which he talks about in this great chat. Dashboard will head out on a long summer tour with Goo Goo Dolls starting July 13, but not before playing a show with Weiss’s band in Vegas the day before. Weiss’s band would be Pet Symmetry, a trio he’s been part of for the past decade or so, and which just released an excellent new album: Big Symmetry is a big, loveable, tuneful set of songs that all start with the word “big.” It’s a joyful blast of pop-punk that feels like a deliberate antidote to tough times. It may also be a bit of a reaction to what fans would consider Weiss’s main band, Into It. Over It., which flies that emo flag a bit higher. But whatever, those tags are pretty silly when we ought to be talking about songs. Speaking of, check out the song “Big Wish” from the album Big Symmetry right here. In this wide-ranging chat, Carrabba and Weiss talk about the holiness of punk community, the accidental origins of Dashboard Confessional plus that band’s long hiatus and rebirth, and how the financial collapse of 2008 had opposite effects on their careers. It’s true! Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:21 – Start of the chat 4:45 – On psychedelics 6:34 – Best venue to play a gig (and watch a gig) 13:27 – Were you ever over your head with Dashboard Confessional? 19:00 – Three pieces of advice for younger bands 25:50 – How has Dashboard Confessional evolved? 34:30 – The '08-'09 music era 39:59 – Does increased music access lower fan excitement? 41:25 – One more piece of advice: Take control 46:33 – One more (last) piece of advice: Honor the people who helped you 50:20 – Carrabba on his superpower Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Chris Carrabba and Evan Weiss for chatting.

  • Nobody’s Ever Asked Me That: Michel Gondry
    On the latest episode of this new Talkhouse Podcast spin-off series, host Nick Dawson sits down with visionary writer-director Michel Gondry, whose delightful new film, Maya, Give Me a Title – a hand-drawn 60-minute feature he originally made just for his young daughter – is currently on the festival circuit. In a wide-ranging conversation, the two talk about childhood, him learning a sense of play from cats, the pivotal moment when he decided to work only on his own terms, taking David Lynch’s advice for his 2015 movie Microbe and Gasoline, watching that same movie alone a plane, why people’s fixation on the Bermuda Triangle is nonsense, and much more.

  • Kurt Vile with Francie Medosch (Florry)
    On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast we’ve got a lively chat between Philly friends Kurt Vile and Francie Medosch. Medosch is the singer and main creative force behind the band Florry, which exists in the same sonic universe as Courtney Barnett and the currently exploding MJ Lenderman—loose, rocking, a little bit jammy, a little bit indie, and frequently catchy as hell. The Lenderman connection makes even more sense when you realize that the upcoming Florry album was recorded with help from Colin Miller, who plays in Lenderman’s band and has recorded music from the band Wednesday. That upcoming Florry album is called Sounds Like… and it’s due out May 23 on Dear Life Records. It’s a corker, kinda rambly and rockin’ in all the right ways. You can pre-save and pre-order at all the usual spots. Check out the song “Hey Baby” right here. The other half of today’s chat is a longtime supporter of Florry’s, fellow Philadelphian Kurt Vile. Vile first came out swinging as part of the War on Drugs way back when, but pretty quickly established himself as a genius of hazy, dazed guitar songs pitched somewhere between the ‘70s squall of Neil Young and more contemporary indie-rock. As you’ll hear in this chat, Vile is working—at his own pace, of course—on the follow-up to 2022’s Watch My Moves. Whenever it’s finished, it’s sure to be intriguing, like all of his work. In this chat, Vile and Medosch talk about their shared hometown as well as the fact that Medosch recently moved to Vermont and is working in both a dispensary and a record store—kind of a perfect combo to describe her music, come to think of it. They also chat about a lot of stuff that they love, including John Prine, the recently departed Michael Hurley, and the deeply lovable Bob Odenkirk, who Vile was very excited to meet recently. Enjoy.
