Tim Heidecker joins host Raina Douris

Do you ever wonder what kind of world we’re leaving for the next generation? That question is woven into the latest album from Tim Heidecker & The Very Good Band, called Slipping Away. On the World Cafe, Tim Heidecker and Very Good Band bassist Eliana Athayde talk about writing songs that explore anxiety, fatherhood, and the post-apocalypse, and about how much fun they have working together.

Listen to the session here.
