For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

On this archival episode of Kyle Meredith with..., hear from Simple Minds: the Scottish rock giants who went from post-punk outsiders to stadium-filling anthem makers.

With "Don’t You (Forget About Me)," the band became forever tied to the ‘80s, but their catalog runs way deeper — sweeping synths, soaring choruses, and a knack for reinvention that’s kept them going for decades. Whether they’re embracing their new wave roots or pushing into fresh territory, Jim Kerr and company are still proving they’re more than just a John Hughes soundtrack staple. Join us for this retrospective as Jim Kerry talks with Kyle Meredith about the legacy, the music, and the future of Simple Minds.

Rewind: Daryl Hall & John Oates on Solo Albums, Collaborations, and Their Legendary Run of Singles 35:49

35:49

On this pair of archive interviews from Kyle Meredith With… , dive into the world of one of the most successful duos in music history: Daryl Hall and John Oates. One’s a blue-eyed soul pioneer with a voice built to cut through FM static. The other’s a mustachioed master of melodic restraint. Together, they blurred the lines between rock, R&B, and pop — then turned that blur into decades-long chart domination. We look back at a two interviews, one with Oates in 2018 regarding a solo album and the final Hall & Oates single, and another with Hall from 2022 in which he discusses teaming up with Robert Fripp, Todd Rundgren, and Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.

Bon Iver on SABLE, fABLE's "Visual Story," Collaborating with Taylor Swift and Danielle Haim 15:55

15:55

Justin Vernon joins Kyle Meredith With… to dive into SABLE, fABLE , Bon Iver ’s latest and most rootsy record in years. But don’t call it a pivot — Vernon says it’s more about clarity than change. “Less mystery, more humanity,” he explains, crediting the song “Everything Is Peaceful Love” as the emotional and sonic compass for an album that tracks a "Man in black in a cabin, making the choice to change his life.” Listen now. Vernon discusses the cinematic quality and "visual story" of the songs, the subconscious as his favorite collaborator, and how the album helped stitch him back together after a tough chapter. We also hear about the influence of Rickie Lee Jones (“The Horses” is his second favorite song of all time), why the band hasn’t played “Exile” without Taylor Swift (“It’s her song”), and what it was like getting snowed in with Danielle Haim ("She's one of my favorite people ever") during recording . We also dig back into Bon Iver lore to reflect on that cover of The Outfield's "Your Love." Vernon still considers it some of Bon Iver’s best cover work: “It was a big moment for us,” he says.

On this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith with... , hear from Sarah McLachlan and Tracey Thorn: two voices that not only helped define the emotional landscape of the ’90s, but did so on their own terms. McLachlan, with her soaring melodies and introspective songwriting, built a legacy of haunting beauty, activism, and defiance. Thorn, as half of Everything But the Girl and a solo artist in her own right, turned quiet vulnerability into pop brilliance with a voice that could break your heart with one line. Different sounds, same fearless spirit. Kyle Meredith talks with both artists about their music, impact, and what keeps them at the center of the conversation decades later.

Jeff Bridges joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Slow Magic: 1977–1978 , a long-lost batch of recordings from his late '70s jam sessions that’s finally getting its debut on Record Store Day via Light in the Attic. Listen now. Bridges also reflects on working with legends like Burgess Meredith — who contributes a spoken word piece to the album — and how songwriting often intersects with his acting career. He recalls writing music inspired by Crazy Heart , fantasizing about a King Kong sequel, and even jamming with Bob Dylan on the set of Masked and Anonymous . “He knocked on my trailer and said, ‘You wanna pick?’” Bridges grins. “My hands were shaking.” Looking ahead, the Oscar winner teases new projects with Terry Gilliam and the upcoming Tron: Ares , while leaving the door open for future music. “I don’t know what’s next,” he says, guitar next to him. “I just pick it up, see what happens.” Listen to Jeff Bridges t chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube .

Finn Cole catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Last Breath , the true-life deep-sea survival thriller that finds him playing a saturation diver stranded at the bottom of the North Sea. The Peaky Blinders alum gets into the intense training he and Simu Liu underwent to shoot underwater with real gear, how they learned to stay calm in a literal pressure cooker, and how scuba diving actually overlaps with acting when it comes to breathing, focus, and presence. Listen now. Cole also reflects on his Peaky Blinders character arc, saying it was tough to watch Michael Gray shift from fan favorite to divisive villain — but ultimately, a gift as an actor. He adds that working alongside talents like Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory taught him how to be the kind of scene partner who can be relied on completely. Elsewhere, he gets into his blues guitar obsession, his dream of playing John Martyn in a biopic, and that moment on set when the dive crew blasted Underworld’s “Born Slippy” through underwater speakers and turned on the disco lights at 4AM. “There’s a video of me doing full dad dancing,” he laughs.

29:18

Michael McDonald joins Kyle Meredith With… to talk about Walk This Road , the first Doobie Brothers album to feature him as a full member since 1980. What started as a 50th anniversary tour quietly evolved into something more permanent, with McDonald, Tom Johnston, and Pat Simmons writing and singing together again for the first time in decades. He shares stories about rediscovered demos, recording new songs in real time, and finally living out his dream of playing accordion on a New Orleans-inspired track. Listen now. The album is full of surprises — gospel grooves, blues shuffles, and even social commentary — but it’s also a reminder of The Doobies’ musical range and chemistry. McDonald says playing with the band pushes him in ways his solo work never has, like taking on new instruments or singing alongside voices as distinct as Johnston’s and Simmons’s. He also weighs in on the HBO Yacht Rock documentary , how Mavis Staples stole the show on their title track, and how touring in your seventies can still make you feel 20 when you hit the stage.

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 and poetry can be closely related. 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.

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.

From leading Blur through the highs and weirdness of the ‘90s to reinventing the game with Gorillaz, Albarn has never been content sitting still. Whether he’s crafting melancholic ballads, Afrobeat-infused bangers, or experimental operas, Albarn’s genius lies in his ability to shapeshift while still sounding unmistakably like himself.

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.

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 . Listen now. Taking place from the 1930s to the 1950s, the movie tells the story of how professional wrestler Mildred Burke became the first million-dollar female athlete, breaking barriers in a sport where women weren’t even allowed to compete. Filmed in Louisville, the production leaned on Ohio Valley Wrestling for training, making sure the in-ring action looked just as authentic as Burke’s real-life battles. The movie aims to introduce Burke to a new generation while driving home the reality of women’s ongoing fight for equality in sports. For wrestling fans, Queen of the Ring also makes a point about Burke’s legacy: “People always ask if this is about the [prominent early female wrestler] Fabulous Moolah,” Avildsen says. “But Moolah never drew the real moolah — Millie did.” Listen to Emily Bett Rickards and ash Avildsen chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

As for the next James Bond now that AmazonMGM owns the franchise ?
