Maya Hawke on the Fear of “Missing Out,” and Jen Silverman on “There’s Going to Be Trouble”

Sobre este episodio

<p>At a band rehearsal in Brooklyn, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/rachel-syme">Rachel Syme</a> talks to Maya Hawke about switching gears between acting and music. In “Stranger<i> </i>Things,” Hawke plays Robin Buckley, a band geek who cracks a Russian code in her spare time; she also recently appeared in films including “<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/06/26/asteroid-city-movie-review-maggie-moores">Asteroid City</a>” and “<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/11/27/maestro-movie-review">Maestro</a>.” “When I’m acting, I inhabit the character that I’m playing,” Hawke says, whereas when fronting a band, “I feel like I’m me… But sometimes I have to screw my courage to the sticking place, and that’s a bit of a character. It’s me, [but] willing to stand up onstage.” Hawke discusses the inspiration for her single “Missing Out”: a visit to her brother at college, where she came to terms with some of her own choices. Plus, the playwright and novelist Jen Silverman, whose new book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-Going-Be-Trouble-Novel/dp/0593448359">There’s Going to Be Trouble</a>” deals with the excitement and uncertainty of getting caught up in a protest.  </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
