Todd Rundgren | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
About this episode
Billy Corgan welcomes Todd Rundgren for a masterclass in songwriting and artistic creativity.
Billy Corgan welcomes Todd Rundgren for a masterclass in songwriting, record production, artistic autonomy, and a lifetime spent chasing creative curiosity. From working with Albert Grossman, Bob Dylan, and The Band, to producing hits for Grand Funk Railroad and pioneering the DIY recording approach decades before “bedroom pop” existed, Rundgren shares stories that only he can tell. Todd reflects on making Something/Anything? , the radical creative leap of A Wizard, A True Star , learning to sing by studying Stevie Wonder, and why great producers serve the artist—not the label. Billy and Todd also explore musical intuition, vocal arranging, artistic risk-taking, and the freedom that comes from creating without worrying about commercial expectations.
