Father John Misty joins host Raina Douris

Father John Misty has a brand-new album, Mahashmashana, that may, in fact, be the last Father John Misty album. On the World Cafe, he talks about that, as well as shares how this one got its start – he wrote as he recorded, unlike past albums. Plus, he reflects on fan theories about his lyrics and his own theories about where aliens hide on Earth. It’s a wide-ranging conversation with Father John Misty.
