“The Magnificent Others is a long-form show where we explore with great artists musicians, anybody I truly admire and take you into their inner story about how they got to be so great,” Corgan said in the trailer of the podcast.

He continued: “Look, we’ve all heard great interviews from great artists, we hear the war stories, we are here to figure out what made them great and what keeps them great. We want to hear fresh stories, we want to hear fresh perspectives, we want to understand the times from their individuated perspectives, join me on The Maginificent Others, a very curious and one-of-a-kind exploration of these great minds.”

Recently, Corgan took to his Instagram account to share footage from the Los Angeles wildfires, saying: “The fires touch every strata of society” and commending first responders who fought the blaze.
