Summary

We're very excited about our latest episode of Soundtracking, which sees a welcome return to the podcast for the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and his longtime collaborator Thom Zimny.

The pair joined Edith during lockdown to discuss Bruce's new album, Letter To You, and Thom's gorgeous accompanying film of the same name. Letter To You saw Bruce reunite with the E-Street Band for the first time since 2014, and was recorded over 5 days at his home studio under Thom's watchful eye. Like Western Stars before it, it interweaves music, archive and the meditations of its protagonist to genuinely profound effect.

We highly recommend checking it out on Apple TV now.
