      Conversations with Cultural Disruptors

      Light Culture Podcast takes listeners on a journey with David Hershkovits as he interviews some of the key creatives and social disruptors of our era. They try to answer the questions: “how is culture changing and why?”

      David Hershkovits has been on the frontlines of the culture wars since 1984 as a founder, editor, and writer at Paper Magazine. As a journalist, he has followed the rise of hip hop, indie film, the crossover of fashion and streetwear, and the new cannabis culture for a range of publications including Vanity Fair, GQ, New York Daily News and the Village Voice.

      Once upon a time the British synth-pop group Tears for Fears sold over 30 million records with anthems like “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “Shout,” peaking in the late 80s before the duo of Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal decided it was time to break up the band. Reuniting in 2000, they’re back with a new album that’s energizing their passionate fan base as well as those who discovered them through samples and covers by The Weeknd, Kanye, Lorde and Nas. We talk with Curt Smith about New York back in the day, on not being a fashionable band, writing from the heart, the cult TV Show “Psych,” staying true to your roots, cannabis and California, getting sampled and dealing with Kanye.
