TODAY IS THE GREATEST DAY -- because Jen sits down with a two-time Grammy award-winning frontman of one of the most influential bands of all time, The Smashing Pumpkins! Despite all his rage, William Patrick Corgan has sold 30 million albums worldwide, and is currently selling out arenas in the U.S. for his “Spirits on Fire” tour.

On this week’s episode of REINVENTED, Jen Eckhart and Billy Corgan discuss the self-made musician's influence in shaping the culture of the ‘90s alternative rock movement, as well as his friendly rivalry with Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain. Jen also asks 'what Billy Corgan today would tell Billy Corgan in his 20s,' including how he paved the way for outliers, misfits and weirdos to be considered “cool.” They also get into his late father’s addiction to heroin, growing up in an abusive household, and how he has managed to stay sober and motivated over the years to keep reinventing himself as an artist.

The dynamic duo also take a deep dive into his brand new podcast “Thirty-Three,” and how he stuck it to the naysayers with the upcoming release of his 3-part rock opera album called “ATUM,” his Christian faith and how he balances being a touring rockstar and a dad to two young children. Jen also puts Billy Corgan on the spot in a hilarious rapid fire round of questioning -- which includes an epic argument over Chicago Deep Dish pizza vs. Jen's beloved New York Pizza!
