Pitchfork Conversations Podcast Launches With Wilco's Jeff Tweedy

Pitchfork is proud to announce the launch of the Pitchfork Conversations podcast. The podcast features recordings of live chats between Pitchfork staff and notable artists.

The first one is a recording of Editor-in-Chief Mark Richardson’s conversation with Wilco‘s Jeff Tweedy, which took place July 16 at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, as part of the InSightOut series presented by MailChimp.

It came at a pivotal moment for Tweedy and Wilco. It’s been 20 years since the group launched their recording career with 1995’s A.M., so the talk provided an opportunity to discuss their formative years and Chicago’s mid-‘90s music scene, as well as the band’s brand new album, Star Wars, which was actually surprise-released as the event was taking place. (The following night, Wilco headlined Pitchfork Music Festival.)

Future installments of the podcast will feature conversations with a variety of artists from various events.
