Jonathan Wilson joins host Raina Douris
We’re kicking off Producer Week on World Cafe! A whole week of sessions with the folks who are often behind-the-scenes shaping the sound of the music and bringing the best out of musicians. Some of them, like Jonathan Wilson, make their own music, too. On the World Cafe, Wilson, who has produced artists like Father John Misty, Margo Price and Dawes, talks about production, and his own 2023 album, Eat the Worm.
