Steve Selvidge, Mary Philips, & Violette Furton.

One of our favorite podcasts, Let’s Talk About Cats, recently stopped into the studio to record an interview with engineer Violette Furton. Mary Phillips, the host of Let’s Talk About Cats (alongside producer Lizzie Jacobs), sat down with guitarist Steve Selvidge of The Hold Steady for one of the podcast’s trademark freewheeling conversations about feline companions. Violette Furton tracked the episode on the main floor of our facilities, in one of our pairs of linkable sound and control rooms.

Interviews on this show may start out as being all about cats, but inevitably swerve into related (and less related) territory. Let’s Talk About Cats episodes invariably include a lot about the interviewees that you just can’t get on a non-cat show – The A.V. Club featured a recent episode in their weekly best-of podcasts round up, claiming that Mary’s talent with guests has them, “revealing facets of themselves that would not surface in traditional formats”.
