A sweet and searching conversation between Krista and the man behind Bon Iver at this year’s On Air Fest, full of wisdom and revelation.

He is a person who experiences deeply, who metabolizes creatively, and who just keeps growing. He opens up with Krista about the strangeness of being loved for how he put his broken heart to music. They venture into the mysteries of God and of numbers, the problem of fame, and the deep working of time in a life.

He’s now released a gorgeous fifth album, SABLE, fABLE. This one tells of immense healing and learning.

This was recorded live at the 2025 On Air Fest in Brooklyn, New York.
