World Cafe Playlist for 07/08/2026

Cut Worms joins host Stephen Kallao

When Max Clarke joined Wilco on the road back in 2024, he didn’t realize it would lead to Jeff Tweedy producing his new album, but that’s exactly what happened with Transmitter, the new album from Cut Worms. Coming up, Clarke talks about collaborating with Tweedy, what tool he refuses to use in studio, and he shares a sweet story about meeting one of his musical heroes, Paul McCartney.

Listen to the session here.
