Revisited: Joe Pera Talks with David Bazan (Pedro The Lion) on the Talkhouse Podcast

They talk writing processes, the gentle joys of life, and how live performers need to be, um, doms.

Comedian Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You) and singer-songwriter David Bazan (Pedro The Lion) have elevated self-aware open-heartedness and detailed observation of humanity into, well, art. When David discovered Joe’s show, he fell for it hard, and reached out to Talkhouse to see if we could arrange a convo. We loved the idea, and think you’ll really enjoy the result.

Joe and David discuss a lot, including: their granular writing techniques; appreciating the gentle joys of life, like wearing green hats on St. Patrick’s day; how some performers only achieve their maximum authenticity onstage; and why live performers must be doms.
