Musician and author Roddy Bottum recently joined the show to discuss his critically acclaimed memoir, The Royal We. Rather than following standard celebrity formulas, Bottum crafted the book using his daily morning writing exercises to focus on sophisticated prose and sharp wordplay. He shared insights into his creative process, which notably omits specific dates and years to keep the narrative focused on emotional truth and personal growth rather than rigid timelines. During the conversation, Bottum also opened up about navigating complex themes such as his early experiences in San Francisco, letting go of shame surrounding his sexuality and past struggles with addiction, and the intense vulnerability of recording the audiobook. Fans of his work can look forward to more writing in the future, as he is currently at work on a new novel alongside upcoming tour dates with Imperial Teen and Faith No More.
