"Talking At The Diner" Podcast Ep. 39 ft. Dan Drago

I recently met up with Philly podcast host and longtime musician Dan Drago at the Penrose Diner in south Philly and before we even walked in he kindly hooked me up with a bag of homemade goodies made with stuff from his own garden. I scored jars of homemade tomato sauce, salsa roja, pickled green tomatoes, and even figs. FIGS! I got all that, and all he got was a John Faye Power Trip CD from 1999.. somebody got the short end of the stick there! ;)If you don't know Dan, he is the host of 25 O’ Clock - Philadelphia’s longest running music podcast.. he thinks. I am a devout follower of this pod, not only because it’s named after a great song by XTC’s side project the Dukes of Stratosphere.. but because Dan is a genuinely smart, genial, and curious interviewer.With 330+ episodes and counting, 25 O' Clock is celebrating its tenth year of amplifying Philly musicians and the music scene in general. I am proud to have appeared as the guest on two of these episodes, which you can check out here:20182023In addition to celebrating a decade of his show, Dan is also giving back to the Philly music community with the release of a great compilation called “Want to play a song?.. Live on 25 O’Clock Vol. 1" The album features 10 live musical performances from his past guests and all proceeds go to the Philly Music Fest, which has given over 500K to local music and arts non-profits since its inception in 2017.You can pick up that release at 25oclockpod.bandcamp.comGet all the 25 O' Clock you can handle at the official website:https://www.25oclockpod.comHope you enjoy the show!!~ JKF ❤️
