In August 2022, I had the great honor of speaking with David Leaf, author of God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys & the California Myth, about a little-discussed aspect of Brian Wilson's life and music: his deep spirituality. This was our conversation.


His book is available for purchase at this link: https://amzn.to/3zNkbbp

David also wrote a marvelous essay on this very important subject. You can read it here: https://medium.com/@davidleaf/god-only-knows-6efa93790549

Many, many thanks to my beloved godmother, Trudi Richter, for her help in producing this interview.


In loving memory of Fr. Stacey Richter.
