Jonathan Bernstein is a senior research editor and writer at Rolling Stone. He has written for Oxford American, The Guardian, GQ, and the Village Voice. His book What Do You Do When You're Lonesome - The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle is available now wherever you purchase books. Y'all, this conversation is at the intersection of so many of my interests- music, music journalism, books, mental health- just all the things.

This book is for anyone who is a fan of Justin's music or just real, human stories about complicated people. Everyone, it is my honor to bring you, my conversation with Jonathan Bernstein.

Meghan is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville whose mesmerizing vocals and masterful storytelling have kept me captivated since before our first conversation nearly eight years ago.

Her latest record Latecomer came out in September of 2025 and it is one of my favorites of the year. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Meghan as a friend over the years. This is a huge honor and I am so excited to bring you, for the second time, my conversation with Meghan Hayes.

With a punk rock ethos, Seth melds folk and indie rock into a soothing sauce that feels like comfort food and that feeling comes through in our conversation.
