This isn’t a podcast made from a couch or behind a desk. It’s recorded on the road, under glowing marquees, inside green rooms, and at the venue itself where the real stories of live music unfold.

It's like the immersive reporting of NPR, fused with the backstage intimacy and stylish storytelling of an HBO rockumentary. You’ll hear stories from iconic venues, DIY warehouses, and analog spaces far off the map. I’ve recorded in snowstorms, on tour buses, at festivals, from the front row of songwriting rounds, and in parking lots with a finger in the air, searching for a miracle ticket.
