Summary

’Tis the season for a repeat. I chose this interview with musician Andrew Bird from the archive because he always reminds me of the holidays. Before I play my 2019 conversation with Bird, I speak about how an episode he recorded in 2020 with Maron impacted me, including his perspective on ‘molting’. Despite the discomfort I felt revisiting something recorded nearly 4 years ago and judging my past self’s interview style, what Bird shared with me in our conversation feels as relevant today as it did then. Happy Holidays!

We tried to clean it up as much as you could,

but there's some weird jumps because just big chunks of it were unlistenable. And yet, you know,

1:20.0

I went back and listening back to it, I realized that the style of interview I was doing back then. I don't know if it was just that day

or just in general, but it was this really like question, next question, here's the next question.

And I don't normally do that or I don't aim to do that. Maybe it was because we were in this

we talked about, connection and it all feels kind of ominous knowing that, you know, in just
