Talkhouse has launched two more shows, Out Monday, the first episode of Santigold’s Noble Champions. And available now, the first three episodes of Playing With Fire
Noble Champions will include a roundtable talk about art and spirituality with Yasiin Bey and Sanford Biggers. A modern day salon, each installment of the weekly series will see host and creator Santigold sit down with some of today’s leading artists, authors, activists and progressive thinkers who stand up, stick up and speak up for important causes, from Olivia Wilde and Questlove to Angela Yee, Bun B, Dan Kovalik, Idris Elba, Mary Anais Heglar, Rebecca Walker, Resmaa Menakem, **Saul Williams **and Tunde Adebimpe. Inspired by the artist Kandinsky, when he said that periods during which art has no noble champions are ones of retrogression, these intimate no-holds-barred conversations are where Santi and her fellow champions try to make some sense out of our world, to push culture forward. Delivering a boundary-expanding and defiantly vulnerable exchange of ideas and experiences, Noble Champions is a public invitation to an intimate gathering of the minds.
And a vailable now, the first three episodes of Playing With Fire feature Kimbra in conversation with Mitski, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Jedidiah Jenkins. Produced and hosted by Kimbra, Playing With Fire is a podcast devoted to exploring the topic of TRANSCENDENCE and the ways in which it manifests in people’s lives. With new installments released in batches of three throughout this fall and winter, Kimbra will ask a musician, an author, an actress, a priest, and a best friend what transcendence means to them, and how it has changed the way they live and work. For some, it’s found in the ecstatic, grand, and psychedelic moments. For others, it’s hidden in the ordinary, and seemingly mundane. _Playing With Fire _is an exploration into the unknown, the intangible, and the simply intoxicating path of seeking, as Kimbra also explores her own experiences of transcendence, giving the listener further insight into her process as a songwriter and producer.
