This week's guest on The Magnificent Others is Susan Olsen! "In this wide-ranging conversation, Billy delves into Susan Olsen’s life before, during and after The Brady Bunch. They trace her path from six-year-old Gunsmoke guest to Cindy Brady, unpacking the Brady casting process, on-set dynamics, the short-lived Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and the realities of childhood fame—stage fright, typecasting, and why therapists still use Brady reruns with kids. They swap vintage-TV lore (Pat Boone, Don Ho, “fake Jan”), explore the show’s appeal to Gen X latch-key viewers, and discuss how those lessons inform Olsen’s work running a performing-arts school today"

Billy Corgan welcomes legendary actress and animal advocate Linda Blair for an intimate conversation that goes far beyond The Exorcist. Linda reflects on growing up as a child model who booked 75+ commercials, the surreal whiplash of becoming “the avatar of what’s spooky,” and what it really felt like being a kid inside a Hollywood machine that wouldn’t let her step off. From there, the episode opens into her deeper mission—how animals (and especially horses) became her sanctuary, how veganism and advocacy grew from pain into purpose, and why she’s still fighting for the voiceless. Then the conversation takes a wild holiday turn when Santa crashes the set with a rescued desert puppy—named “Billy."

"In this conversation, I sit down with Elliot Mintz, the man who became John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s closest confidant during their most radical and reclusive years. Elliot shares how a single radio interview turned into hundreds of late-night calls, secret meetings in Ojai, and a front-row seat to Lennon’s life after the Beatles. We talk about government surveillance, artistic risk, and the quiet cost of fame. Elliot reflects on John’s complex relationships with Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan, the making of Some Time in New York City, and the moment John handed him a test pressing and told him to 'break the record.'"

They dive into AI’s existential threat to art, and how the “holy ghost” of a live show can turn a stage into a spiritual event.

Billy Corgan sits down with legendary actor and storyteller Chazz Palminteri to retrace the unbelievable true story behind A Bronx Tale — a mafia murder witnessed at age nine, a Hollywood firing from Swifty Lazar, and the moment poverty and desperation pushed him to take control of his own destiny. Chazz reveals how turning down $1 million to protect his story led to a handshake deal with Robert De Niro that changed his life. Together they dive into the emotional core of the film — fathers and sons, loyalty vs. survival and share deeply human stories about parenting, superstition, faith, teaching their kids strength without the scars — and why “wasted talent” still haunts them.

"Billy Corgan welcomes Micky Dolenz for a conversation that peels back the curtain on a lifetime in show business. Dolenz explains why he always kept “Micky the TV drummer” separate from the real man, explains how the Monkees were a cast before they were a band, surviving the show’s cancelation and watching the Monkees phenomenon roar back when MTV picked up the reruns. Along the way he revisits his Circus Boy childhood, Boyce & Hart songwriting sessions, Mike Nesmith’s push for creative control, and the boundary-breaking film Head that foreshadowed the indie-film revolution. The result is a candid, inside-out look at fame, reinvention, and the craft behind an accidental pop-culture landmark."

Billy Corgan sits down with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company) for a sharp, funny, and revealing dive into 50 years of rock majesty. Simon traces his journey from growing up in poverty to the lightning-bolt moment drums grabbed him, the fateful coin flip that led him to Paul Kossoff and the creation of “All Right Now,” and then to forming Bad Company with Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs. Together, they dive into the grooves of Stax vs. Motown, the genius of Al Jackson Jr., Ringo Starr, and Charlie Watts, and the art of serving the song rather than showing off chops. Along the way, Simon shares stories about Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Steve Marriott, and Queen. It’s a masterclass in rock history and rhythm.

Share time: The process of making something is an art performance spectacle. They can all be so fascinating to observe. The making of a cup of coffee. The slicing of fish for sushi. The stirring and rocking of a wok for fried rice. The cutting, carving and sanding of wood to make a chair. The pencil gliding on paper for hours to create an illusion of volume in an illustration. The mixing of pigments to create the resemblance of a faces or sceneries on canvas. The testing and retesting of an assembly of sound from different instruments to sculpt out a tapestry of music. The weaving of fibres into strands into fabric into clothings. The coming together of ideas to turn the clothings into fashion and style. The setting up of lighting to set up moods for a photoshoot. The disassembly and reassembly of tiny machineries that measures time. Heck, even the cleaning and polishing of a toilet. Etc. What's your process?

Billy Corgan sits down with legendary rock producer Jack Douglas for an intimate, no-frills conversation that runs straight through the heart of classic rock history—from John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Imagine, and Double Fantasy to Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, the New York Dolls, and beyond. Jack tells the wild story of Lennon recognizing him from a Liverpool newspaper, pulling him into the studio to escape Phil Spector. He breaks down the making of Aerosmith’s first three albums, why some iconic solos on Get Your Wings weren’t Joe Perry, and how Cheap Trick at Budokan (actually Osaka) became a power-pop landmark through sheer studio ingenuity. Along the way, you get rare behind-the-glass insight into working with George Harrison, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, and what great producers really do: protect the song, the band, and the vibe.
