T Bone Burnett joins host Stephen Kallao

In his youth, T Bone Burnett remembers being haunted by a recurring nightmare of a dystopian future where technology stripped us of our humanity. Ever since, the renowned musician and producer has sought to unpack those grim visions in his music. His Invisible Light albums were steeped in darkness, but his latest album takes a more optimistic turn.

Listen to the session here.
