Kyle Meredith With...

Courtney Barnett is back talking with Kyle Meredith about Creature of Habit, digging into those years between records, the move to LA, and why that chapter is more backdrop than the story itself. She gets into second-guessing songs like “Mostly Patient” and “Site Unseen” before pulling them back from the edge, trusting instinct even when it feels like a dead end, and how ideas can sit for years before finally clicking. There’s also talk about subtle callbacks across her catalog, turning old riffs into new songs, and working with Flea and Katie Crutchfield in a loose, live-in-the-room session. And somewhere in there, she’s still figuring out if those songs are actually talking to each other or if that’s just us connecting the dots.

Natalie Alyn Lind got the call, packed her bags in two days, and suddenly she’s at cowboy camp learning to rope for Dutton Ranch, and she tells Kyle Meredith how that whirlwind turned into one of the most immersive roles of her career. She talks about building a “wild and free” character who evolves in ways fans won’t see coming, going toe-to-toe with Annette Bening, and why the show’s messy family dynamics are the real hook. Then it flips completely as she dives into Halloween Store, the slasher she’s starring in, producing, casting, and even editing herself, calling it her love letter to old-school horror and the project that’s got her hooked on filmmaking beyond acting.

Paul Bettany says he believes in genius “the same way I believe in libraries,” and that pretty much sets the tone as he and Will Sharpe talk Amadeus with Kyle Meredith, digging into why this story still hits and what a longer series lets them explore beyond the film. Bettany leans into Salieri’s perspective but says this version finally gives Mozart equal weight, especially the toll genius takes at home and not just in the spotlight. Sharpe, meanwhile, talks about using Mozart’s music as a way into the character, chasing the mix of playfulness, ego, and eventual darkness that builds across the series. And somewhere in there, you get a reminder that genius might be real, even if no one quite understands it.

Jena Malone catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her first album under her own name, Flowers for Men, which pulls together a decade of voice memos, poems, and late-night recordings into something she calls “sci-fi folk.” She gets into how becoming a parent reshaped her creativity, why she’s more interested in building new myths about love and the future than following traditional songwriting rules, and how tracks like “You’ve Been on My Mind” and “F*** Boys” came from flipping perspective and owning projection. There’s also talk of her new Netflix series The Boroughs, the Duffer Brothers’ follow-up to Stranger Things, which trades kid heroes for older characters facing aliens and mortality.

Shawn Colvin tells Kyle Meredith how A Few Small Repairs accidentally became her breakthrough, powered by "Sunny Came Home" and that unforgettable Grammy moment, but also the pressure that hit right after when success finally showed up on album four. She talks about letting go of chasing hits, the weird reality of being labeled a “divorce record,” and how that freedom is exactly what made it connect. Then the conversation shifts into her later work with The Starlighter, pulling from a childhood book of lullabies that stuck with her for decades, which turns into this full-circle moment between her early musical life and raising her daughter. It’s about instinct, timing, and the strange way the songs you don’t aim at radio sometimes end up everywhere.
