World Cafe Playlist for 12/01/2025

Neko Case joins host Raina Douris

A force of nature is how you might describe Neko Case. But it’s more than just her voice and performance. On the World Cafe, Neko talks about her deep connection to the natural world, she tells stories from her recent memoir, “The Harder I Fight the More I Love You”, and talks about her new album, Neon Grey Midnight Green, the first of her albums where she credited herself as the sole producer.

Listen to the session here.
