Back in 2012, it was an important year for Josh Tillman. That was the year he unleashed his Father John Misty persona on the world, with his debut album Fear Fun. It was also the year he met and fell in love with a photographer and filmmaker; their relationship became the inspiration for the songs on his new album, I Love You, Honeybear.

In this episode of World Cafe, Tillman discusses the relationship and how it's changed him and his art. And, though the two now live in New Orleans, Tillman has much to say about Los Angeles for the Sense Of Place series. This performance comes from the stage of World Cafe Live.
