Episodes

  1. Grace Potter - rock star, songwriter, sequin enthusiast, congressional mascot

    My former boss, bandmate and dear pal talks about AI, poop, and not taking guff from a co-headliner. Plus, how to piss people off just by wearing what the hell you wanna wear.

  2. Rat Scabies (The Damned)

    Rat Scabies, drummer from legendary punk band The Damned, talks about punk's early days, John Bonham and how to get older without trying too hard. Also we call Jesse Malin and he picks up the phone for whatever reason

  3. Colin Hay

    Colin Hay said "we can talk about whatever you wanna talk about", so we talked about reframing his life's trajectory, men's bottoms, and Paul McCartney

  4. Cory Younts - (Old Crow Medicine Show, Jack White)

    Cory is a knucklehead and a brilliant musician and has a lot of stories about poop and country legends.

  5. Bettye Lavette

    Bettye Lavette is one of the last people standing from the golden era of soul. She found success and heartbreak working with some of the era's biggest names and remains unapologetically honest and gritty. Watch as she very slowly learns to love me and my cohost Joe Hudak.

  6. Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick)

    Tom, founding member of Cheap Trick, talks about the band's unusual path to success, playing on bills with ACDC and The Kinks, and why there are no cars in the parking lot at a Kiss show

  7. Tommy Stinson (The Replacements, Guns N' Roses)

    Tommy Stinson talks about his experience in Guns N' Roses, life as a founding member of The Replacements, sobriety, and we call and hassle Jonny Twobags just because.
