"Monogamy" w/ Rostam

About this episode

The episode features an interview with musician Rostam discussing his career and various cultural topics.

Today we interrogate the one and only Rostam about his long and varied career as an acclaimed musician, producer, Haim collaborator, and bicoastal gay guy. Topics include: Nostalgia for 2008 Coachella culture, whether "hipster" is a slur, whether boundary-setting has gone too far, how we can all fight the Mike Pence within, and Rostam's amazing new album American Stories, which is out now!
