The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
Linda Blair | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
17 Dec 2025
Billy Corgan welcomes legendary actress and animal advocate Linda Blair for an intimate conversation that goes far beyond The Exorcist. Linda reflects on growing up as a child model who booked 75+ commercials, the surreal whiplash of becoming “the avatar of what’s spooky,” and what it really felt like being a kid inside a Hollywood machine that wouldn’t let her step off. From there, the episode opens into her deeper mission—how animals (and especially horses) became her sanctuary, how veganism and advocacy grew from pain into purpose, and why she’s still fighting for the voiceless. Then the conversation takes a wild holiday turn when Santa crashes the set with a rescued desert puppy—named “Billy.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
