What you’ll hear

Since early 2022, the show — which serves up “outside-of-the-box thinking and audio trust falls” — features Phoebe at the helm guiding listeners through artist-to-artist conversations and, of course, her favorite songs.

In the debut episode, the GRAMMY nominee shared song recommendations for fans’ questions — from soundtracking a stolen toothbrush with underscores’ “Everybody’s Dead!” to a drive through the Italian countryside set to “Dead End Street” by Blake Mills.

“I wanted to make a playlist based on when music feels the best … and one of the times music feels the best is when I’m miserable,” Bridgers explained. “When I’m down bad, and I want to be more down and more bad, these are the songs that I listen to.”

Special guests of Saddest Factory Radio have included MUNA, Claud, the other members of boygenius, Matt Berninger, and more.
