Encore: Tim Heidecker joins host Raina Douris

Tim Heidecker is best known as a comedian, notably for his Tim & Eric TV series’, but he’s also a musician. On the new album, called High School, he looks back on those days in his own young life and all the new and awkward experiences it involved. Of course, the music is funny – But it’s also very tender. We’ll hear a live performance of the new songs on an encore edition of the World Cafe. Plus, Heidecker talks about his recent tour blending the worlds of comedy and music, and he tells some of the stories that inspired the record.
