Remembering Nikki Giovanni

Nikki Giovanni died earlier this month at the age 81. We were fortunate enough to get to talk with her in 2021 and wanted to revisit our conversation with the late poet. She spoke with us about the first poem she remembered writing, overcoming teenage angst and why she was not afraid—excited even—to find life on Mars.

Musician Kim Deal

With a little help from the smash hit Cannonball, The Breeders became one of the biggest names in early '90s alternative rock. In 2018, we chatted with the band's lead guitarist and singer Kim Deal. The band just released their first new record in 10 years. Just this past month, Deal recorded her first ever solo album: Nobody Loves You More. She talked about the music scene in her hometown of Dayton, Ohio, how unintended her success was, and transitioning from the Pixies to The Breeders.

For periods of my life, Bullseye has been the narration that grounds me. The interviews are beyond thoughtful and dive into authentic human experiences in a way that unlocks the invisible strings that connect us all to each other. The love of creating and the craft of living an inquisitive life is universal regardless of medium or aesthetic and Jesse takes the conversation there every time. Looking for a way to bring the listeners into the inner life of the subject. Sometimes it’s the most banal things that unlock insights but Jesse quietly steers the conversation to the fertile spaces that leave an impression. I am from the Bay Area originally and Jesse captures the intangible energy of that place. Whether it’s joy, heartbreak, or a shared passion, it all cooks together in a delicious and generous dish prepared for us all. Whenever I’m home sick, I find myself listening to Bullseye so I’m never too far from that feeling.
almost no women...STOP saying LIKE!
