We talk about unforgettable moments, infamous mishaps, industry politics, marketing power plays, and why performing the halftime show might be the most high-pressure gig in music.We also dig into why artists don’t get paid to perform, how production teams pull off a full concert in minutes, and what this year’s halftime debate says about music, audiences, and culture today.It’s funny, opinionated, nostalgic, and just a little unhinged—exactly what happens when musicians start talking football without actually talking football.🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts 🍻 New episodes weekly 💥 Support the show on Patreon starting at $3/monthThanks for listening to Riffs n Rhythms.
