<p>My first interview with <a href="https://www.dragcity.com/artists/bill-callahan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bill Callahan</a> took place over the telephone on March 31, 2011, ahead of the April 19 release of his album, <a href="https://www.dragcity.com/products/apocalypse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Apocalypse</em></a>. The interview was conducted for and broadcast on the <em>Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show!</em> on May 4, 2011, and also for a print magazine profile. Bill and I bonded over our shared love of <em>The Larry Sanders Show</em> among other things, which you can hear now. As usual with archival interviews presented here, this is a raw, unedited recording that reflects the actual experience shared between the interview subject and I on the day we spoke. The latest album by Bill Callahan is called <a href="https://www.dragcity.com/products/my-days-of-58" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>My Days of 58</em></a>, and it’s available now via Drag City Records.</p><br><p>To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/kreativekontrol" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Kreative Kontrol</em> on Patreon</a> at the $6 U.S./month tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).</p><br><p>Support&nbsp;<a href="https://yess.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Y.E.S.S.</a>, <a href="https://pridecentreofedmonton.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pride Centre of Edmonton</a>, and <a href="https://www.letterscharity.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Letters Charity</a>. </p><p>Follow&nbsp;<a href="https://linktr.ee/vishkhanna" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vish online</a>.</p><br><p>Related episodes/links:</p><br><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2025/11/27/ep-1044-steve-albini-2008/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #1044: Steve Albini (2008)</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2025/03/06/ep-957-the-burning-hell/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #957: The Burning Hell</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2025/01/28/ep-944-bonnie-prince-billy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #944: Bonnie “Prince” Billy</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2021/10/27/ep-646-they-might-be-giants/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #646: They Might Be Giants</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2020/09/02/ep-562-bill-callahan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #562: Bill Callahan</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2019/06/05/ep-480-bill-callahan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #480: Bill Callahan</a></p><p><a href="http://vishkhanna.com/2016/07/26/ep-273-mary-lynn-rajskub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ep. #273: Mary Lynn Rajskub</a></p><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol">http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
