Ep 333 Anand Wilder on Music's Broken System, TikTok Clout, and His Wildest Stories | Mango Bae Podcast

About this episode

Anand Wilder discusses music in the TikTok era, societal observations, and shares humorous stories.

Mango Bae is back with indie rock legend Anand Wilder (co-founder of Yeasayer , now flying solo with his new album Psychic Lessons ). In his record-breaking fourth appearance, Anand talks about making music in the TikTok era, why Cracker Barrel logos matter more to America than statues, and a wild Dublin story that proves everyone's racist (yes, even the Irish). He also unveils his absurd 1-800-BOG-PEOPLE hotline , blending surreal humor with sharp truths. It's music, madness, and Mango at its finest—equal parts hilarious, unfiltered, and dangerous.
