Tim Heidecker on World Cafe | Personal Records

We’re rolling out a new feature on World Cafe called Personal Records. We’re inviting folks to share the songs that define them. The concept is simple: If someone were to assemble a mixtape that holds the key to who you are and what you do, what songs would be on it?

Tim Heidecker has been on the show a few times talking about his own music, but he’s also an actor, a director, writer and comedian, known for Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, On Cinema at the Cinema, and his podcast Office Hours.

Today, Tim Heidecker joins World Cafe to gush about Randy Newman, talk about the Joni Mitchell song that reminds him of his childhood, plus more.
