On this week’s DeadWax, Jack and Ryan sit down with Jonathan Rado — musician, producer, and founding member of Foxygen. Rado discusses the making of Take the Kids Off Broadway and then dives into his acclaimed work as a producer on records for Miley Cyrus, The Lemon Twigs, and The Killers. He also reflects on his ongoing partnership with Shawn Everett, offering insight into their creative process and how their collaboration has shaped some of the most adventurous music of the past decade. From Foxygen’s boundary-pushing beginnings to his production work with some of today’s biggest artists, Rado shares rare stories from both sides of the glass. In the extended Patreon-exclusive edition, Rado opens up about Richard Swift — his artistry, his influence, and the deep impact he left on Rado’s own career.
