Josh Groban Raises "Naked Lunch" Up!

from Naked Lunch · host Phil Rosenthal, David Wild, and Straw Hut Media

This week, Phil & David revisit one of their most uplifting and entertaining episodes ever. They welcome Josh Groban -- who David will be interviewing at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on July 20th about his latest album "Cinematic" and his upcoming "Stage, Screen & Symphony" tour -- for this funny and fascinating 2025  "Lunch" with the multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actor and arts advocate. Josh joined them at Phil's house in 2025 to tell amazing stories about how he got his first big break singing with Celine Dion at a Grammy rehearsal and about his strong comedic chops that many first discovered when he sang Kanye West's tweets for Jimmy Kimmel. Josh, Phil and David all also discuss their shared love for Stephen Sondheim.

ME READING STUFF Robyn O'Neil This is simply me reading stuff. Poems, essays, letters, recipes, and whatever else feels alive in the moment — mixed with my own rambling thoughts, laughter, and honest reflections on life, art, and everything in between.Think of it as having lunch with a good friend: warm, unfiltered, and admittedly a little bit strange. A space where we can escape together with books, encourage each other, and feel a little less alone.Sincerely,Robyn O’Neil Explicit Art Grind Podcast Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, Sophia Kayafas and Tun Myaing Art Grind is a podcast for and about artists, art lovers and art professionals. It is a social practice of giving back to the art community of which we are a part and explores the process, content, concept and motivation behind art making of both established and emerging artists and the people who bring that art to a wider audience. We are artists ourselves and wear many hats, including curation, art writing and art teaching. We share a passion for authentic and skilled art making, be it trained or self-taught. Whether in the studio, on your lunch hour or chilling out after a long day of hustle, have a listen while we explore, along with our guests, the backstories of what we fondly call “the art grind”.
