Rewind: Moby on Insomnia, Apocalypse, and Why Humanity Can’t Stop Screwing Itself Up
In two conversations spanning seven years, Moby tells Kyle Meredith about creating beauty in chaos — first at SXSW 2011, where he previewed Destroyed, an album and photo book born from sleepless nights in hotel rooms, filled with “broken-down electronics” and midnight-highway moods. Flash forward to 2018, he’s promoting Everything Was Beautiful & Nothing Hurt and unpacking the emotional weight of songs like “Motherless Child,” connecting their grief and longing to his own life and the world’s unraveling. From playing bass with OMD on an upside-down guitar to comparing humanity to “scared little monkeys at a watering hole,” Moby weaves the personal and political, the sacred and absurd.lease 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: Broken Social Scene & Speedy Ortiz on Friendship, Frustration, and Finding Purpose
Kyle Meredith talks with Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene about reuniting the sprawling collective for Hug Of Thunder, rediscovering friendship as the heart of creation, and the emotional night they played Manchester just after the attacks—with Johnny Marr joining onstage.Then, Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz joins twice: first in 2015, when she discussed using Foil Deer to push feminism and social awareness into rock’s conversation (“I’d rather be a social justice warrior than a rich kid with a drug problem”), and again in 2018 to unpack Twerp Verse, scrapping an entire album post-election to write songs that mattered, navigating “lyrical mystery,” and how horror films inspired her monster metaphors. Both artists reflect on turning chaos into connection—and the power of art to speak when the world gets too loud.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
