R.E.M. joins host Raina Douris

Michael Stipe fronted R.E.M. until the band’s amicable end in 2011, and since then he’s continued to create on his own, as both a musician AND a photographer. Recently, Stipe had a chance to revisit his work with R.E.M. with the 25th anniversary reissue of their album New Adventures in Hi-Fi. You might be surprised that there are parts of the beloved record he wishes he could re-write – like the lyrics to the song “Leave.” We’ll hear his reflections on that and more in a wide-ranging conversation with host Raina Douris.
