Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner discuss their most ambitious project yet, I Am Easy to Find; an album AND short film made in collaboration with director Mike Mills, and perform with guest vocalists on the next World Cafe.

Come Away with Me turned Norah Jones from a total unknown to a multi-Grammy Award-winning artist. That early fame has allowed her maximum artistic freedom, like unexpected collaborations with artists from Dolly Parton to Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. Her latest release, Begin Again, is a collection of singles recorded over the past year. Today, we’ll hear about what it’s like to be a touring mom and what she wants from a live audience. That’s coming up, on the World Cafe with host Talia Schlanger.

Josh Ritter has released a new album, called Fever Breaks. He stops by the World Cafe for a special stripped-down performance of his new songs – which is as close as it gets to how the tunes started. The album transformed quite a bit after he got into the studio to record with friend and producer, Jason Isbell, and his band the 400 Unit. We’ll hear about Josh’s experience working with them, his connection to Joan Baez, and what parenthood has done for his music. That’s coming up, on this encore edition of the World Cafe with host Talia Schlanger.
