On this episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with DESIRE, the dark, cinematic synth-pop powerhouse behind some of the most hypnotic tracks of the past decade — featuring the signature analog magic of Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Italians Do It Better).
Mike, a longtime fan and obsessive collector of everything Italians Do It Better, dives deep with Desire on how their music in the film Drive changed everything, pulling back the curtain on wild behind-the-scenes stories from that cult classic. They unpack Desire’s fearless songwriting process, her electrifying approach to performance, and the secrets to building and keeping a loyal fanbase in today’s music world.
And because it wouldn’t be In Love with the Process without it, they geek out over the movies that scarred them as kids and wax poetic on the undeniable, life-shaping power of music.
As always, this episode is a sonic journey, blending interview and music from Desire — so buckle up, hit play, and prepare to fall in love.

On today’s episode of Right Place / Right Time, hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams sit down with legendary actor Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher, Boogie Nights) for a wide-ranging and deeply inspiring conversation about art, creativity, and the future of humanity.
Tom gets philosophical about surrounding yourself with art, staying open to inspiration, and imagining a hopeful future where man and machine work together to foster growth and life. He takes us on a historical journey through the ancient roots of storytelling — how the spoken word and early music helped shape the world and even predicted the future.
He also shares a powerful personal story: as a 16-year-old kid from the East Coast, he packed his bags and headed to India to pursue acting — an experience that rocked his worldview and opened his mind in unexpected ways. Lance and Tom go deep on the craft and philosophy of acting, while Mike drops hints about a potential future film collaboration with Tom.
This episode is packed with everything you want — insight, adventure, artistic passion, and a fresh shot of inspiration.

On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with rising screenwriter Steele James, a storyteller who's finally found his rhythm — and the confidence to trust the unique process that sets him apart.
Before ever writing page one, Steele fully immerses himself in his characters’ world: using Google Maps to scout their neighborhoods, imagining where they work, where they live, and what their daily lives look like. It's about living inside the story before ever telling it — and it's a method that's paying off in a big way.
With two feature scripts already racking up awards and accolades on the film festival circuit, Steele is at the perfect crossroads in his career. This conversation is packed with insight and inspiration for any writer or filmmaker trying to carve out their own creative path. If you’re looking for a sign to trust your instincts and dive deeper into your worlds, this is it.

Lance takes us deep into the heart of Puerto Rico this week, solo and unfiltered, as he ventures to the Pearl of the Seas for the wedding of his good buddy J.J. Cotto. In true no-nonsense style, they dive into the messy, beautiful realities of marriage, and peel back the layers between mainland Puerto Ricans—the Nuyoricans—and the islanders whose roots pulse with a fierce, unapologetic passion. It’s not just talk, either. Along the way, you’re treated to the undeniable sounds of the island—a sonic feast that practically demands you break out those noise-cancelling headphones and let the rhythms transport you.

And since we’re cruising through the rum capital of the world, why not honor that with a shot of rum every single time the word flies by? It’s a playful nod to the island’s spirit—a ritual as raw and real as the stories that are shared about the intoxicating warmth that radiates from the people and their surroundings.
