It was a gift to hear Rebecca Sugar play their song "Hill to Die On" from their recently released album, "Lonely Magic." For the Steven Universe fans, they also played their song "Love Like You" from the end credits of the show: buff.ly/MG5fo51

Jason Mantzoukas was ready to pull out all the stops at Bullseye Live at LAist. He talked to Bullseye about forever being the "improv guy," and why he didn't continue his own college radio show for 25 years - even though he bought $5000 worth of Jazz CD's to make it: buff.ly/MG5fo51

Each episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast began with an extended monologue from the host. It often touched on his personal and home life - and not everyone listening loved it. Marc Maron and his producer Brendan McDonald talk to Bullseye about why they never considered cutting it: buff.ly/wmFwNcR

Despite being one of the most popular podcasts in history, “WTF with Marc Maron” was run by two people: Marc Maron as the host, and Brendan McDonald as his producer. They both talked to Bullseye about their equal partnership in producing the show, and why it ended. Listen now: buff.ly/tL0WFgG

Yaya Bey blends many genres in her work. She talks to Bullseye about how it makes sense to her to combine these genres, because they all connect with her experience of blackness in different parts of the country. Listen to the full conversation now: buff.ly/c9yKB1B

Yaya Bey considers herself a songwriter first, recording artist second, and perhaps least of all, a live performer. Still, if you've seen her Tiny Desk concert, you know she's great live! She’s just most comfortable making music in the studio. Watch her conversation with Bullseye: buff.ly/c9yKB1B

Yaya Bey broke through last year with “Ten Fold” - a 16 track exploration of R&B, hip-hop, house and lo-fi. This past June, she released "do it afraid." Just like in "Ten Fold," it features an effortless blend of genres. Listen to her conversation with Bullseye now: buff.ly/c9yKB1B
