Kyle Meredith With...

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.Listen to Paul Bettany and Will Sharpe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

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.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure 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.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The cast of The Audacity, including Billy Magnuson, Jonathan Glatzer, Paul Adelstein, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek, all sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack a Silicon Valley satire that feels a little too close to reality, from ego-driven CEOs and “wild god” founder worship to the quieter damage done behind the scenes. Across the conversations, they dig into characters who think they’re doing good while chasing power and influence, the irony of building technology meant to connect people while becoming more isolated, and how money and ambition tend to expose rather than create corruption. Adelstein talks about playing emotional disconnection, Helberg leans into the contradiction of a man obsessed with connection who can’t achieve it, and Corddry admits to borrowing from great performances like Succession, while Rath points out that even the most well-meaning players are still playing the same game. Meanwhile, the younger cast frames the show’s real question: whether the next generation can break the cycle or is doomed to repeat it, offering a bit of hope in a world where the adults are mostly lost, all wrapped in a series that balances unsettling truths with absurd moments like karaoke curveballs and perfectly aimed truffles.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure 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.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jason Mewes sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about building a career that’s lasted more than three decades, from his start in Kevin Smith’s Clerks to the ever-expanding Jay And Silent Bob universe, and now into new territory with his YouTube series Five Things. The show, set inside a convenience store, uses everyday items as a jumping-off point for conversations that go way off the usual press-tour script, pulling out stories even longtime collaborators haven’t heard before. Mewes also gets into the evolution of his stand-up "Diary Of A Manchild," how sobriety still shapes the way he approaches the stage, and why he’s shifted away from the heavier material toward something looser and more personal. Along the way, he talks about directing Madness In The Method, revisiting earlier films like Drawing Flies, launching a Murdoch Mysteries podcast, and the reality that staying in the business often means creating your own opportunities. It’s a conversation about longevity, luck, and figuring out how to keep doing what you love, all while still finding time to circle back for another run in the View Askewniverse.Listen to Jason Mewes chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Keeley Karsten joins Kyle Meredith to talk about stepping into the long-awaited Malcolm in the Middle revival, Life’s Still Unfair, playing Leah, Malcolm’s sharp, impulsive daughter who mirrors him without trying. Karsten admits she hadn’t even seen the original series before landing the role, leading to a crash-course binge ahead of filming, which helped her understand the family dynamics she was about to walk into. The Fablemans actress gets into the pressure of joining a cast that already has decades of chemistry, how quickly Bryan Cranston, Frankie Muniz, and the rest made her feel like part of the family, and the challenge of mastering the show’s signature fourth-wall breaks. She also highlights how the reboot balances absurd comedy with heavier ideas like generational baggage, all while keeping things fast and funny across just four episodes that leave the door open for more. And if there’s talk of a Leah-focused future, she’s not confirming anything, but she’s definitely not saying no either.Listen to Keeley Karsten chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Derek Trucks joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the Tedeschi Trucks Band’s new album Future Soul, a record he says captures the group feeling “present and current” while also hitting a new creative stride. He gets into working with producer Mike Elizondo to shape a more aggressive, forward-leaning sound, how songs like “Hero” tap into the band’s punk and grunge instincts, and why the title track demanded a guitar tone that felt like it might fall apart mid-take. Trucks also talks about writing after years back on the road post-pandemic, trimming down from a potential double album, and learning to serve the song even within a 12-piece lineup. Along the way, he reflects on rediscovering the joy of recording, surprising himself in the studio, and the full-circle moment of opening for the Eagles decades after first crossing paths with Joe Walsh.Listen to Derek Trucks chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about turning their real-life father-daughter dynamic—and years spent in the competitive dance world—into the heartfelt indie film She Dances. Drawing from Audrey’s upbringing in dance competitions and layering in a quiet but powerful story of grief, the two discuss how the film became a deeply personal family affair, even featuring cameos from their own relatives. They get into the chaos and camaraderie of dance culture, the decision to avoid broad comedy in favor of something more honest, and how their new production company is helping champion this kind of storytelling. It’s also a look at indie filmmaking finding its footing again, with Kentucky as the backdrop, and how sometimes the most intimate stories hit the hardest.Listen to Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Felicia Day sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about her new graphic novel, The Daughter Of Sparta, a feminist reimagining of Greek mythology inspired by a nearly forgotten figure with just one line in ancient texts. She traces the project back to pandemic-era insomnia, deep dives into mythology, and a desire to tell a story that Hollywood wouldn’t necessarily greenlight—leading her to embrace independence in a big way. Along the way, she opens up about identity, creative control, and the dangers of chasing approval over authenticity, themes that echo from her early work like The Guild to her Audible series Third Eye. Day also teases a Kickstarter-backed The Guild reunion movie for its 20th anniversary, plus new creative habits—from oil painting to learning Polish—that are shaping her next chapter.Listen to Felicia Day chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

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.Listen to Ed O'Brien chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

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.Listen to Randy Blythe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

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.Listen to Juno Temple chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Actor and multi-hyphenate Adam Goldberg sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about his latest album as The Goldberg Sisters, When The Ships Of My Dreams Return, a sweeping, interconnected record that finds him revisiting childhood, fatherhood, and the passage of time. Known for roles in Dazed And Confused, Saving Private Ryan, Fargo, and five seasons of The Equalizer, Goldberg discusses how growing up in a home marked by his parents’ split — and a stained-glass window reading “When the Ships of My Dreams Return” — became the emotional anchor for the new songs. He and Kyle get into the record’s fluid, almost symphonic structure, writing about death on tracks like “Everybody Is Dying,” processing memory from the perspective of a parent, and why this album — made entirely on his own — became both isolating and cathartic. They also touch on leaving Los Angeles, the changing landscape of acting post-pandemic and strikes, and why directing films remains as daunting as ever.Listen to Adam Goldberg chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Mike Patton joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the unexpected collaboration with The Avett Brothers on their 2025 release AVTT/PTTN, a record that started as a remote experiment and quickly became what Patton calls a “third personality” with its own DNA. He dives into learning how to fit his voice into the brothers’ blood-bound harmonies, discovering Scott Avett’s lyrics felt eerily personal, and how most of the writing felt “frighteningly organic.” Patton also teases the 2026 tour kicking off in Louisville, promising a sprawling set that includes the full album, Avett staples, selections from Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, and some unexpected covers, all while reflecting on the idea that none of his projects are “side” gigs—they’re all the main event.Listen to Mike Patton chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.
