Father John Misty: I Love You, Man (Podcast)

Episode #260 of the Nialler9 Podcast is a long overdue Andrea deep dive into the life and times and music of Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty – Andrea’s Cool Big Guy.

Over nearly TWO HOURS, Andrea takes us through the highlights of his albums: Fear Fun, I Love You, Honeybear; Pure Comedy, God’s Favourite Customer and Chloë and the Next 20th Century, his run of albums from 2012 to 2022.

Our chat takes in topics of masculinity, lyrical explorations, cynicism, playing with character and performer roles, entertainment, ecology, doom-laden rants, societal schisms, online living, political nightmares and psychedelic experiences. You know… the small stuff.

The Nialler9 Podcast presents a Listening Party for Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear (2015) at The Big Romance in Dublin on Wednesday September 25th at 7pm.  

Join Niall and Andrea for a playback of a compelling grandstanding album all about love, romance tempered by the cyncism and internal struggle of a man and songwriter who can’t quite put faith in the idea that love might be the answer. Buy tickets here.
