Time Crisis (referred to as Time Crisis with Ezra Koenig) is a fortnightly internet radio show hosted by Ezra Koenig and Jake Longstreth. The show began airing on July 12, 2015 on Apple Music's radio service, Beats 1 (now known as Apple Music 1).[1] The show covers a variety of topics, such as politics, corporate food history, 1970s rock music, city living, as well as frequently analyzing the latest in contemporary pop music by contrasting it with music released in another era. In addition to Koenig, a variety of guest hosts have appeared over the show's history, including Jonah Hill, Rashida Jones and Jamie Foxx.[2] Since 2017, Koenig is accompanied by co-host Jake Longstreth, who regularly describes his love for the "tasteful palette" of early 1970s classic rock, plus music from the Grateful Dead, Ween and Guided by Voices.[3]
Time Crisis premiered airing every other Sunday at 12pm (PST). In March 2020, it briefly switched to a weekly schedule due to the rise of remote workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bi-weekly schedule resumed in June. On April 16, 2022, the show’s time slot was permanently moved to every other Saturday at 3pm (PST). So far, over 200 episodes have been broadcast, and the show is currently in its tenth season.[4]
