Ziggy Marley stops by Club Random to talk to Bill Maher about his new album, Brightside. The conversation drifts—from music and life in Jamaica to Rastafarian beliefs, sacred herb, and why Ziggy keeps his cannabis use private and spiritual, not commercial. Along the way, they get into food, health, and a shared distrust of what we consume. Ziggy reflects on growing up as Bob Marley’s son, navigating identity, and learning to set boundaries after watching a life that was open to everyone. They touch on cross-cultural relationships, religion, and the idea that most labels don’t hold up under real human connection. Check out Brightside when it drops April 18—and catch him on tour. #billmaher #ziggymarley #bobmarley #music #podcast Subscribe to the Club Random YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/clubrandompodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Watch episodes ad-free – subscribe to Bill Maher’s Substack: https://billmaher.substack.com Subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you listen: ⁠https://bit.ly/ClubRandom Support our Advertisers: -Connect with quality therapists and mental health experts who specialize in you at https://www.rula.com/RANDOM #rulapod #ad -Get 15% off OneSkin with the code RANDOM at https://www.oneskin.co/RANDOM #oneskinpod #ad Buy Club Random Merch: https://clubrandom.com Learn more about your ad choices.
