Tim Heidecker joins host Raina Douris

Tim Heidecker is best known as a comedian, with TV and feature film appearances including his cult favorite sketch show, the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Through it all, Tim has also been making music that’s mostly centered around comedy, but his new record is not. Fear of Death still has a sense of humor, but in Tim’s words: it’s a “serious album about serious topics.” Tim joins host Raina Douris today to explain how Randy Newman and Warren Zevon inspired the new music, and he performs live.
