In July, Malcolm Gladwell taped a live episode of Broken Record at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York City.

It was a wonderful night of conversation and music.

Drew Holcomb, a Memphis native, who has spent the past 20 years

performing with his band The Neighbors, joined Malcolm on stage for the recording. On today's

episode, you'll hear how growing up with strict Christian parents shaped his artistic sensibilities

through the handful of secular artists he was allowed to listen to, and how the crisis of

faith he faced after his brother's death led him to leave seminary and pursue a life as a singer-songwriter.

You'll also hear stripped-down performances of his own songs, including a debut,

and you'll get a taste of his favorite Bruce Springsteen track, Highway Patrolman,

with impromptu background vocals from none other than Malcolm Gladwell himself.

This is Broken Record.

Real musicians, real conversations.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.
