SIRIUSXM will broadcast a never-been-released conversation between LEONARD COHEN and host BILL FLANAGAN on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7th, on SIRIUSXM’s VOLUME channel. Recorded at MANHATTAN’s CHELSEA HOTEL in 2006 but never publicly aired, this SIRIUSXM special will air on Written In My Soul, the new series hosted by BILL FLANAGAN featuring interviews with legendary musicians.

In the interview, COHEN talks about his early days at the CHELSEA HOTEL as he grew from poet to singer-songwriter; his first meeting with an unknown LOU REED in 1966; his brief affair with JANIS JOPLIN; and how he sought to impress his hotel neighbor EDIE SEDGWICK. At 70 years old at the time of the interview, COHEN said he was finding himself "in the foothills of old age," and was now in a hurry to complete his work.
