The Podcast Beyond + Back from Oakland, California, recently had the chance to chat with Billie Joe Armstrong during the band's downtime at Otis Studio.

Billie Joe talks in-depth about the creative process of songwriting and pushing past his comfort zone and fears to try something new. It is a really interesting interview and definitely worth a listen.
