    Hosted by Editor-in-Chief Lisa Konicki, Off the Record features in-depth conversations with top music artists, exploring their musical journeys, the craft of songwriting, and personal stories behind the music.Off the Record continues its first season with a powerful new episode. In Episode 6, available now, Konicki sits down with Molly Tuttle for a fun and deeply musical conversation—covering her latest Grammy nominations, what it felt like stepping from bluegrass into the wider world of Americana, and why performing on late-night TV still makes her nervous. Molly also looks back on her early years learning guitar by ear with her dad, the work ethic that shaped her, and the inner critic she’s still learning to quiet.A standout moment comes when Molly picks up her guitar and demonstrates the difference between flatpicking, crosspicking, and clawhammer, breaking it down in a way any listener can follow. From there, she opens up about the making of So Long Little Miss Sunshine—how the record evolved, her move beyond the Golden Highway era, and the personal meaning behind the album cover, and the album’s message of reinvention and self-acceptance.

  • Of Monsters and Men: Iceland, Songwriting, and the Stories Behind the Music

    Of Monsters and Men: Iceland, Songwriting, and the Stories Behind the Music
    Jan 7 2026
    Hosted by Editor-in-Chief Lisa Konicki, Off the Record features in-depth conversations with top music artists, exploring their musical journeys, the craft of songwriting, and personal stories behind the music. Off the Record continues its first season with a powerful new episode. In Episode 5, available now, Konicki sits down with Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar þórhallsson of Of Monsters and Men for an in-depth conversation about the band’s new album, All is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade. In this introspective interview with Of Monsters and Men, we take a journey between Icelandic culture and the story behind their new album, All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade. When host, Lisa Konicki, reveals that the band inspired her to book a Nashville-to-Iceland flight, Nanna and Ragnar share must-do local tips—chase south-coast waterfalls, and soak in the local pools and hot tubs where Icelanders famously “talk politics” (even if it’s all in Icelandic). The band unpacks the album title and the push-pull of love and pain that runs through the record. We also learn how the group formed from Nanna’s solo beginnings and how the pandemic break reshaped their lives—kids, cabins, and Nanna’s solo album How to Start a Garden. During the interview we learn the find out the literal origin of “Tuna in a Can,” the raw, live cabin recording of “The End,” Ragnar’s favorite part of performing “Styrofoam Cathedral” (he gets to scream), their blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Game of Thrones balcony cameo, and a final toast with Icelandic Reyka vodka to close it all out.

  • Kix Brooks and Briana Calhoun: Music, Redemption, and Second Chances (Episode 4)

    Kix Brooks and Briana Calhoun: Music, Redemption, and Second Chances (Episode 4)
    Dec 17 2025
    Season 1 Episode: In this episode of Off the Record, host Lisa Konicki sits down with Kix Brooks (Brooks & Dunn) and Briana Calhoun for a conversation about music, redemption, and their shared mission behind Hope on the Inside—a nonprofit dedicated to empowering incarcerated individuals. "We were in a bad situation and experienced a lot of trauma," Calhoun shares. "It was eggshells every second I was awake. And when I was 16 years old, the sheriff's daughter of my very small town of Farmerville, Louisiana—she was 26, I was 16. My mom thought it was perfectly safe to leave my 16-year-old with her, and she got me hooked on meth. And I hadn't even smoked pot yet at the time. And I knew it was bad, but at the time I didn't care because I'd just been so depressed and anxious for so long. The episode also explores the pair’s partnership, including the five years it took to write their song “One More Shot. "She sends me [the line] a six-pack just talked me into whiskey, and she said, 'Do you think that's a song idea?' Brooks says. "I said, 'I think it may be. I kind of like that.' 'Would you write it with me?' she said. I said, 'Let's see if we can make something rhyme.' So I think we finished it two or three months ago. The duo talks about the mission behind Hope on the Inside and what’s next for the organization. It's an honest conversation about redemption, music, and the power of hope.
