This week, I’m joined by Tim Foreman of Switchfoot to dig into the band’s collaboration with blues legend Buddy Guy on “Last Man Standing” — a meeting of generations that somehow feels both unexpected and completely inevitable.

We also cover a lot of ground: Tim’s new solo project, Bongo Chico — including a preview of two upcoming singles, “When You Walked Away” and “1995”; the 20th anniversary of Nothing Is Sound and why that record still resonates; the moment Switchfoot found themselves caught up in Sony’s infamous XCP copy-protection controversy (right alongside Foo Fighters’ In Your Honor) — and the unusually thoughtful way the band chose to respond. Plus, Tim shares a few updates on Switchfoot’s next studio album, which — spoiler alert — is shaping up to be a return to something more guitar-driven.It’s a wide-ranging conversation that fans of both Switchfoot and Buddy Guy won’t want to miss!
