Playing With Fire is a podcast that explores the topic of TRANSCENDENCE and how it manifests in people's lives. Kimbra will ask a musician, an author, an actress, a priest, and a best friend what transcendence means to them, and how it has changed the way they live and work. For some, it’s found in the ecstatic, grand, and psychedelic moments. For others, it’s hidden in the ordinary, and seemingly mundane. Playing With Fire is an exploration into the unknown, the intangible, and the simply intoxicating path of seeking. Kimbra also explores her own experiences of transcendence, giving us further insight into her process as a songwriter and producer. Playing With Fire is produced by Kimbra and distributed by Talkhouse.

Primal depths

I love this podcast, the conversations are deeply creative. I didn’t know about Jacob Collier or Mitski before I heard about them on this podcast, and now I’m a huge fan of both! I hope Kimbra keeps doing this.
