Conor Oberst joins host Raina Douris

Between Bright Eyes, his other collaborative projects and his own solo work, Conor Oberst has released over 20 studio albums. So, it might surprise you that he says when he finishes one, he’s never sure if he’ll be able to write another. Conor talks about the spark that got him going on Bright Eyes latest album, Five Dice, All Threes, and you’ll hear the band perform live.
