After becoming a dad, comedian Tim Heidecker is now leaning into sincerity
Heidecker leaves irony behind on his new folk album, Slipping Away
Tim Heidecker became known for playing bizarre or surreal characters in his breakout sketch comedy series Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! But now that he's a dad in his late 40s, the comedian has decided to put aside the characters and lean into sincerity instead. His new folk album, Slipping Away, reflects on the grim state of the world, aging, fatherhood and the waning of creativity. Heidecker talks to guest host Saroja Coelho about the record, subverting his fans' expectations, and what inspired him to get so earnest and reflective in his music.
