Felicia Day on The Lost Daughter of Sparta, The Guild Movie Plans, and Finding Power Outside Hollywood

Felicia Day sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about her new graphic novel, The Daughter Of Sparta, a feminist reimagining of Greek mythology inspired by a nearly forgotten figure with just one line in ancient texts. She traces the project back to pandemic-era insomnia, deep dives into mythology, and a desire to tell a story that Hollywood wouldn’t necessarily greenlight—leading her to embrace independence in a big way. Along the way, she opens up about identity, creative control, and the dangers of chasing approval over authenticity, themes that echo from her early work like The Guild to her Audible series Third Eye. Day also teases a Kickstarter-backed The Guild reunion movie for its 20th anniversary, plus new creative habits—from oil painting to learning Polish—that are shaping her next chapter.Listen to Felicia Day chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Outlander Season 8: Cast & Creators Reflect on Growth, Goodbyes, and Sticking the Landing

The cast and creators of Outlander come together to talk with Kyle Meredith about Season 8 as the long-running series heads toward what might be its final chapter, with Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin reflecting on Brianna and Roger’s evolution—her finally coming into her own, him still searching for purpose—while admitting every new script came with that familiar “what are they going to do to us now?” feeling. Meanwhile, John Bell and Izzy Meikle Small discuss Young Ian stepping into fatherhood and Rachel becoming fully part of the Fraser’s Ridge family, along with the emotional weight of filming a season everyone knew could be the end. On the creative side, Matthew B Roberts and Maril Davis break down how to close out a decade-plus story without turning it into a “very special episode,” keeping things true to the show’s roots while still delivering payoff—and even upping the ante with Annie Lennox on the theme. And while there’s talk of closure, time travel rules still apply, meaning in the world of Outlander, the story might never really be finished.Listen to Tim Roth, Steven Knight and Tom Harper chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ed O’Brien on Blue Morpho, Radiohead, and Finding Light in the Dark

Ed O’Brien catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about his second solo album, Blue Morpho, a record born out of the isolation and emotional weight of the pandemic. Reflecting on how a “dark night of the soul” led to a daily practice of playing guitar without expectation, O’Brien explains how those raw moments became the foundation of the album’s songs, shaped further through collaboration with producer Paul Epworth. He also discusses the record’s deep connection to nature, the influence of writers like Wendell Berry, and how embracing rather than avoiding darkness led to something unexpectedly beautiful. Along the way, O’Brien looks back at Radiohead’s recent reunion tour, shares a story about the band’s very first gig in 1985, and considers how his solo work now sits alongside the “mothership” of the band, with both worlds continuing to evolve side by side.Listen to Ed O'Brien chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Tim Roth, Steven Knight & Tom Harper on Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Kyle Meredith sits down with Tim Roth, creator Steven Knight, and director Tom Harper to talk about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film that brings Tommy Shelby’s story to its long-planned conclusion. Knight reveals that the idea of ending Peaky Blinders with a movie set during World War II was part of the plan from the very beginning, while Harper discusses translating the series into a more focused cinematic finale—complete with intense practical sequences like the brutal mud fight between Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan and a collapsing tunnel scene filmed largely for real. Roth also talks about joining the universe after a personal invitation from Murphy, reshaping his character into a deceptively calm Nazi sympathizer, and how his own family’s World War II history gave the role emotional weight. Along the way, the conversation touches on real historical inspirations—from the bombing of Birmingham’s BSA factory to wartime spiritualists claiming to speak with the dead—as well as Roth’s friendships with icons like David Bowie and Patti Smith, all while reflecting on the legacy and final chapter of one of television’s most beloved crime stories.Listen to Tim Roth, Steven Knight and Tom Harper chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lamb of God's Randy Blythe on Into Oblivion, Election Night Inspiration, and the Collapse of the Social Contract

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe talks with Kyle Meredith about the band’s 10th album Into Oblivion, tracing its origins back to election night 2024 and a solitary drive listening to The Cure, which sparked the first lyrics to the song “Sepsis.” Blythe discusses how the record became a reflection on modern collapse—technology’s false promise of connection, the breakdown of social contracts, and the role protest has historically played in shaping change—while also pointing to influences ranging from Nick Cave to writers like Douglas Rushkoff. Along the way, he and Kyle get into the Cold War anxieties that shaped Blythe’s worldview, the challenge of keeping a ferocious vocal style intact after decades in metal, and how songs from Into Oblivion might translate to the stage as Lamb of God pressure-tests them live.Listen to Randy Blythe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
