Talkhouse's editorial website and podcast offer an alternative to traditional models of journalism and criticism. Readers and listeners gain unique insight to the creative process as musicians, actors, filmmakers, comedians and leaders in the food world explore and express their opinions on each other's crafts in writing and on the podcast. All content on Talkhouse-written editorial, audio podcasts and video-is created by musicians, filmmakers, actors, chefs and more. Talkhouse has changed the journalistic landscape with landmark contributions from the late Lou Reed, Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, Rose McGowan and hundreds of other creative leaders. On the Talkhouse Podcast, guests have included Kid Cudi talking with Paul Reubens, Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers) in conversation with Talib Kweli, Jenny Slate and Gillian Robespierre sitting down with Nicole Holofcener, and Darren Aronofsky talking with one of his cinematic heroes, Alejandro Jodorowsky.
The fast-rising media company continues to grow its platform in scope with the recent launch of its Food Podcast, with the debut episode featuring a discussion between NYC restaurateurAndrew Carmellini and rapper A$AP Ferg (listen HERE).
