The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan talks to KISS’ Gene Simmons, Corey Feldman & more on new podcast

Nearly a year ago, it was reported that Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins was launching a podcast on Bill Maher’s Club Random Studios network. He’s now officially announced “The Magnificent Others,” which will launch on February 5. According to the synopsis, it “will bring listeners face-to-face with world-renowned artists, innovative entrepreneurs, trailblazing scientists, and visionary leaders who have dared to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.” The first episode will feature Gene Simmons of KISS, Corey Feldman, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, and Pat Benatar & Neil Geraldo. Watch a trailer below.

Corgan, who recently evacuated his home with his family during the Los Angeles wildfires, also got his own reality show last year. He has a few European Smashing Pumpkins shows coming up this summer; see all dates below.
