Matt Nathanson on Sobriety, Martinis, and the Art of Saying Too Much

In this episode of Stories to Tell, Richard Marx sits down with the wildly honest and hilarious singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for a cocktail-fueled conversation that pulls no punches. From his lifelong decision to stay sober, to thoughts on intimacy, control, and his theory on why olives taste like Pompeii.....Matt lays it all out with his trademark charm and wit. The two longtime friends also reflect on their first meeting in the early 2000s, creative processes, and the complicated nature of authenticity. It's deep, absurd, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny.....sometimes all in the same sentence. Whether you're a fan of Matt's music or just here for the martini talk, this one’s packed with raw takes and real friendship. Pour something strong (or don’t) and settle in.
