That’s How I Remember It is a podcast hosted by me, Craig Finn. In each episode I speak with a creative person about their work and how their memory affects the stories they tell others as well as the stories they tell themselves.
Matt Berninger from The National is my guest on this episode of ‘That’s How I Remember It’ from Talkhouse. Matt checked in from a tour bus at the End of the Road festival in the UK and we talked about his great solo record Get Sunk, lyric monitors, Rizzo from Grease, roller skating, hotel bars, reading novels to plot your future, memory as fantasy and collage, writing about childhood, early 2000s NYC, and Nabokov cocktails. He also shared a traumatic Valentine’s Day story. So happy to have Matt on the show, it was a really fun conversation. Listen and subscribe!
This was a good one!
