Episode Description

Billy Corgan sits down with Heart's Ann Wilson to talk about the highs, heartbreaks, and hard-earned lessons behind one of rock's most enduring careers. Ann recalls the exact moment she discovered her powerhouse voice, why Aretha Franklin gave her chills before fame ever did, and how she and sister Nancy built "a parallel universe in rock" when the industry had no place for women. She gets candid about the 1980s "devil's bargain” swallowing outside-written hits that had no soul and the sobriety turning point that came the moment she became a mother.

Along the way, Ann shares stories about Seattle's music explosion, Alice in Chains, sibling dynamics, artists trademarking their own voices, and why she's plotting an ambitious new concept album.
