In this special holiday-themed conversation, Emmylou Harris and Lorrie Morgan sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk Christmas music, lifelong friendships, and the long arcs of their careers. Harris reflects on her quietly beloved album Light of the Stable, singing alongside Dolly Parton, and why songs like “Coat of Many Colors” carry the spirit of Christmas even without the tinsel. She also opens up about her deep commitment to animal rescue through Bonaparte’s Retreat and the push toward no-kill shelters, plus an upcoming expanded reissue of The Ballad of Sally Rose and work on her memoir. Morgan shares stories from Nashville Christmas specials, explains her connection to modern classics like “Grown-Up Christmas List,” and talks about teaming up with Pam Tillis on their album Come See Me and Come Lonely, built from deep-cut country favorites and a friendship that grew later in life.

Aiyana-Lee sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about a truly surreal 2025 — from grinding it out as an independent artist to getting a life-changing DM from Spike Lee that led to her starring role in Highest 2 Lowest. She opens up about how Lee discovered her music, writing and performing the film’s title track and end-credit song, and what it was like working alongside Denzel Washington. The conversation also digs into her songwriting roots, growing up around legendary music history, surviving rough label experiences, reclaiming her voice on singles like “City of Lies,” and figuring out where music and acting go next now that the spotlight’s officially on.

Director Paul Feig talks with Kyle Meredith about adapting The Housemaid from Freda McFadden’s bestseller, shaping its sly tonal shift from “fun unsettling” to full-on psychological thriller, and why he ultimately added entire pieces to the story that aren’t in the book. Feig digs into the dual-POV structure, explains his aversion to lazy voiceover, and breaks down how the film balances an hour of questions with an hour of answers. He also gets into building nuanced female-led stories (from Bridesmaids to Ghostbusters to A Simple Favor), collaborating with a wildly good-looking cast, and letting actors define their characters through wardrobe and posture. And Kyle gets him talking about a perfectly framed martini shot and the hidden gin bottles that have become Feig trademarks.
