Carrie Brownstein & Corin Tucker on Sleater-Kinney’s Dark, Emotional Little Rope Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney catch up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Little Rope, a record that was completed in the aftermath of a deadly car accident involving Brownstein's mother and stepfather in Italy in late 2022. The Sleater-Kinney members discuss how the emotionally personal album felt like it had higher stakes, the choice to open with the dark and sinister “Hell,” and being very specific about the sounds they were going for with producer John Congleton. We also hear about Corin’s vocal approaches, especially on a collection that finds her taking the lead more than any other S-K album, having actress J. Smith Cameron star in the video for “Say It Like You Mean It,” and how even the darkest moments lead to a final sliver of hope by the end of the journey.

Peter Capaldi & Tom Moutchi on Crimes Dramas, a Changing London, & New Music Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Peter Capaldi & Tom Moutchi join Kyle Meredith to talk about the new Apple TV+ series, Criminal Record, a powerful, character-driven drama set in the heart of contemporary London which picks up when an anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case – one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy. Capaldi, known for his work in Dr. Who and The Suicide Squad, discusses his fondness for crime dramas, how this series highlights misogyny and racism, and what it was like to play an unlikeable character who represents a London quickly becoming out of step with the times. Moutchi, for his part, tells us about playing someone who spends the majority of his screen time inside of a prison and the pent-up aggression his character bottles inside. Both actors are also musicians, so of course we get an update on their future plans there as well.
