Finn Cole on Diving into Last Breath, Peaky Blinders, and a John Martyn Biopic

Finn Cole survived the brutal world of Peaky Blinders as Michael Gray, only to take on the ultimate survival story in Last Breath. Playing real-life diver Chris Lemons, he faces being stranded 200 feet underwater with just minutes of oxygen, while Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu race to save him. Turns out filming underwater is just as stressful as it sounds—minus the occasional dance break to Underworld’s “Born Slippy.” As for his Peaky Blinders arc, Cole tells Kyle Meredith that it was tough seeing Michael turn villainous, but ultimately felt grateful for the challenge of playing an antagonist in such an iconic show. It might have broken some fans’ hearts (and probably got him yelled at in public), but Finn’s made his peace with it. Oh, and he’s got his eye on playing singer-songwriter John Martyn one day—if he can manage to master guitar well enough to do the folk legend justice.Listen to Finn Cole chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Michael McDonald on Reuniting with the Doobie Brothers, Yacht Rock and Songwriting

Michael McDonald’s back with the Doobie Brothers, because one reunion tour wasn’t enough. Their new album Walk This Road marks his first studio outing with them since 1980, and they’re even throwing in a little accordion action just to keep us on our toes. Turns out, it’s not easy to pick up a new instrument at 70—who knew? Michael joins Kyle Meredith to dive into the magic of getting the band back together, writing with Tom Johnson and Patrick Simmons, and why the Yacht Rock label just won’t die (even if half the band wishes it would).Listen to Michael McDonald chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Read lessAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sofia Carson, Kyle Allen, & Sebastian de Souza on The Life List, Sonic Youth T-Shirts, and Challenging Patrick Ewing

Who knew that revisiting your childhood dreams could involve bucket lists, awkward basketball lessons with Patrick Ewing, and the accidental outing of a secret novelist? Sofia Carson (Carry-On, The Descendants), Kyle Allen (West Side Story, American Horror Story: Apocalypse), and Sebastian de Souza (The Great, Medici: Masters of Florence) chat about their new Netflix movie The Life List, where Carson’s character, Alex, tackles her mom’s posthumous list of dreams. Spoiler: it’s not all tears and tissues—it’s surprisingly funny, even when Carson’s struggling to shoot hoops with an NBA legend. Oh, and did we mention the mom is played by Connie Britton? Yeah, that Connie Britton. Also, fun fact: de Souza wrote a whole damn novel and is way too humble about it. Plus, Carson rocks some killer Sonic Youth and Wet Leg tees throughout the movie.Listen to Sofia Carson, Kyle Allen, & Sebastian de Souza chat about all this and more. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ben Barnes on His Debut Album, Stephen King's The Institute, and His Villainous Image

From playing a wannabe rock star in Killing Bono to actually becoming one, Ben Barnes has taken the long road to his debut album, Where the Light Gets In. He talks with Kyle Meredith about his first full-blown tour, the soul and storytelling behind his music, and whether he still Googles his own lyrics to make sure he didn’t accidentally steal them. Oh, and he drops a Dickens reference because, of course, he does. Plus, he reflects on playing The Punisher’s villain, stepping into the world of Stephen King’s The Institute, and how Almost Famous totally lied about tour life.Listen to Ben Barnes chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rewind: Talib Kweli & Peaches on the Art of Protest Music, Disrupting, and a Punk Attitude

On this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith with..., listen to throwback interviews with Talib Kweli and Peaches -- two artists who couldn’t be more different on paper, yet both built careers on defying expectations. Kweli, one of hip-hop’s sharpest lyricists, has spent decades balancing conscious rap with undeniable flow, both in Black Star and with his great solo catalog. Meanwhile, Peaches took electroclash, punk attitude, and pure sexual liberation and turned it into a movement, proving that provocation can be just as powerful as poetry along the way. Both are innovators, disruptors, and fiercely independent voices. Kyle Meredith takes us back to his interviews with the pair of legendary artists in this special Rewind episode.Listen to Talib Kweli and Peaches chat about all this and more. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hamilton Leithauser on This Side of the Island, The Walkmen Reunion, and Pop Music’s Influence

Kyle Meredith sat down with Hamilton Leithauser to talk about his first solo album in five years, This Side of the Island, a record that took a full decade to finish. Listen now.The album leans into a more danceable, groove-heavy sound — something Leithauser credits to years of listening to his daughters’ pop playlists, including Chappell Roan and Charlie XCX. “Maybe I just wanted to make something they’d actually listen to," he says.Of course, This Side of the Island comes on the heels of The Walkmen’s reunion tour, which he says was never about a full comeback. “It was supposed to be five shows, then we kept saying yes. But as for a new record? Not happening.” Now, Leithauser is taking his own rock 'n' roll cabaret-style show on the road, including his seventh residency at New York’s Carlyle Hotel (currently ongoing) and a summer tour with Father John Misty and Lucinda Williams.

Rewind: Adrian Belew & Daniel Ash on Odd Sounds, Innovative Writing, and Legendary Collaborations

On this archival episode of Kyle Meredith with..., hear from Adrian Belew and Daniel Ash: two sonic architects who helped redefine the boundaries of rock. Belew -- the guitar wizard behind King Crimson, Talking Heads, and David Bowie -- turned the six-string into a playground of sonic weirdness. He bended, looped, and warped notes into something entirely his own. Meanwhile, Ash helped shape goth, post-punk, and alternative rock with his hypnotic, reverb-drenched riffs in acts like Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, and Love and Rockets.Both are innovators united by an endless curiosity for pushing sound forward. Kyle Meredith takes us back to his 2017 interviews with both Adrian Belew and Daniel Ash in this special Rewind episode.Listen to Adrian Belew and Daniel Ash chat about all this and more. Please also take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kyle Meredith sits down with actor Emily Bett Rickards (Arrow) and director/screenwriter Ash Avildsen (Paradise City, American Satan) to talk about their new movie Queen of the Ring.
