Nick Cave joins host Raina Douris

Wild God, the new album from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, bursts with joy – a contrast to Cave’s last two albums which saw him grappling with the recent death of his son. Nick Cave discusses religion, death, life – and how devastation and grief helped him accept the possibility of a joyful relationship with the world.
