Kyle Meredith With...

Ed O’Brien catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about his second solo album, Blue Morpho, a record born out of the isolation and emotional weight of the pandemic. Reflecting on how a “dark night of the soul” led to a daily practice of playing guitar without expectation, O’Brien explains how those raw moments became the foundation of the album’s songs, shaped further through collaboration with producer Paul Epworth. He also discusses the record’s deep connection to nature, the influence of writers like Wendell Berry, and how embracing rather than avoiding darkness led to something unexpectedly beautiful. Along the way, O’Brien looks back at Radiohead’s recent reunion tour, shares a story about the band’s very first gig in 1985, and considers how his solo work now sits alongside the “mothership” of the band, with both worlds continuing to evolve side by side.

Kyle Meredith sits down with Tim Roth, creator Steven Knight, and director Tom Harper to talk about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film that brings Tommy Shelby’s story to its long-planned conclusion. Knight reveals that the idea of ending Peaky Blinders with a movie set during World War II was part of the plan from the very beginning, while Harper discusses translating the series into a more focused cinematic finale—complete with intense practical sequences like the brutal mud fight between Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan and a collapsing tunnel scene filmed largely for real. Roth also talks about joining the universe after a personal invitation from Murphy, reshaping his character into a deceptively calm Nazi sympathizer, and how his own family’s World War II history gave the role emotional weight. Along the way, the conversation touches on real historical inspirations—from the bombing of Birmingham’s BSA factory to wartime spiritualists claiming to speak with the dead—as well as Roth’s friendships with icons like David Bowie and Patti Smith, all while reflecting on the legacy and final chapter of one of television’s most beloved crime stories.

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe talks with Kyle Meredith about the band’s 10th album Into Oblivion, tracing its origins back to election night 2024 and a solitary drive listening to The Cure, which sparked the first lyrics to the song “Sepsis.” Blythe discusses how the record became a reflection on modern collapse—technology’s false promise of connection, the breakdown of social contracts, and the role protest has historically played in shaping change—while also pointing to influences ranging from Nick Cave to writers like Douglas Rushkoff. Along the way, he and Kyle get into the Cold War anxieties that shaped Blythe’s worldview, the challenge of keeping a ferocious vocal style intact after decades in metal, and how songs from Into Oblivion might translate to the stage as Lamb of God pressure-tests them live.

Lily Rabe sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about the third season of Shrinking, where her character Meg — the daughter of Harrison Ford’s Paul — finally steps further into the spotlight and into a complicated dynamic with Jason Segel’s Jimmy. Rabe discusses how the storyline grew organically from the chemistry between characters rather than long-planned “breadcrumbs,” what it’s like bouncing between the show’s emotional therapy-driven world and heavier stage work like Ibsen’s Ghosts at Lincoln Center, and why comedy actually isn’t that far from tragedy in her approach to acting. Along the way, she reflects on working with a stacked cast, going toe-to-toe with Segel’s improvisational instincts, her years in American Horror Story, and other projects including Downtown Owl, and Presumed Innocent — all while explaining why Meg remains one of the easiest characters for her to slip back into each season.

Juno Temple joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the wild, funny, and unexpectedly emotional new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, directed by Gore Verbinski and co-starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, and Zazie Beetz. Known to many as Keeley from Ted Lasso, Temple tells Kyle how the script landed in her inbox while she was shooting Venom: The Last Dance and immediately pulled her in with its bonkers dark-comedy take on AI, social media addiction, and even school tragedy. She talks about filming in Cape Town, balancing Viking helmets with grounded emotion, exploring motherhood in the middle of an apocalypse, and why Rockwell is exactly the guy you’d follow to save the future.
