Robert Plant: Full Interview | House Of Strombo

Robert Plant is the eternal Golden God. He continues to forge a path as an itinerant troubadour, staggering forth after realizing that at 32-years-old, Led Zeppelin was over. On his latest album, 'Carry Fire' he digs into "new worlds" as he described, “I rejoice in my previous work but must continue the journey to new worlds, after all there are so many songs that are yet to be written." In a conversation at the House Of Strombo, they run the gamut of his storied life and career - from the impact that traveling to Morocco had at 22-years-old to the spark Radiohead shifted in his musical approach to turning down a role in Game Of Thrones and beyond.

The Strombo Show / House of Strombo is the home of the best records played in the best order, from the 1-2-3-4 to the 808's and beyond. For over two decades, George Stroumboulopoulos has been working on behalf of you to find and champion the songs that'll get you through the night. Interviews, intimate sessions and out-of-its-mind full blown house concerts. The Strombo Show reflects the beautiful and the badass of Canada's diverse cultural landscape. There are no boundaries, with the gamut running from Aretha Franklin to Slayer and everything in between.
