Episode 13 - Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., Young Fresh Fellows)

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential 90s musicians and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in the book. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. On this episode, we talk to Scott McCaughey from the Young Fresh Fellows and, in the 90s, a fifth member of R.E.M. He talks about how his friendship with Peter Buck led to his touring and recording with REM and about how a stroke he had while on tour dramatically changed his life.
