Maher revealed the offers in a brand new interview with Selection, noting how effectively he linked with the 2 musicians after they appeared on his personal present, Membership Random, final 12 months. “I by no means knew Fred or Billy,” he stated. “However one thing good occurs there, and I can really feel like I’m greatest associates for all times with anyone who I simply talked to for an hour and a half. That’s the standard we wish — a nighttime really feel.”
Maher didn’t reveal any exhausting particulars concerning the reveals, resembling after they would possibly premiere or what format they’ll take. Durst’s present will reportedly focus on a topic very close to and pricey to his coronary heart — UFOs and conspiracy theories (severely, the person is sort of a nu-metal Tom DeLonge on this regard). There have been no hints at what sorts of subjects Corgan would cowl on his present, and a rep for the musician didn’t instantly return Rolling Stone‘s request for extra data.
For Durst, the podcast gig comes at a busy time for the musician: He’s gearing up for a hefty summer season tour with Limp Bizkit, and he’s additionally acquired a vital supporting function in I Noticed the TV Glow, the upcoming horror-thriller from filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun.
