Jena Malone on Flowers for Men, Sci-Fi Folk, and The Boroughs

Jena Malone catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her first album under her own name, Flowers for Men, which pulls together a decade of voice memos, poems, and late-night recordings into something she calls “sci-fi folk.” She gets into how becoming a parent reshaped her creativity, why she’s more interested in building new myths about love and the future than following traditional songwriting rules, and how tracks like “You’ve Been on My Mind” and “F*** Boys” came from flipping perspective and owning projection. There’s also talk of her new Netflix series The Boroughs, the Duffer Brothers’ follow-up to Stranger Things, which trades kid heroes for older characters facing aliens and mortality.Listen to Jena Malone chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
