The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.

Broadway Will Eat You: Nashville Reality w/ Guthrie Trapp
This one’s for the lifers. Guthrie Trapp drops the polite industry brochure in the shredder and talks about building a real career in music. One you can live with and live on.
We get into session ceilings, artist freedom, and why “be present to win” beats waiting for permission.
Broadway bar marathons? Great for tips, terrible for souls. Social media mirages? Entertaining, not a business plan.
Guthrie walks through how he pivoted from sideman to solo voice, why endurance eats “talent” for breakfast, and how education and entrepreneurship buy you time to make your music.
It’s straight talk, a little spicy, and weirdly hopeful: work hard, tell the truth, and stop pretending the rented Ferrari is yours.
What you’ll learn:
How to spot (and outgrow) the session-player ceiling
The “be present to win” rule: geography, community, and showing up
Saying no as a strategy (and when to disappear for a minute)
Turning skills into income without hating yourself
Why consistency beats virality (and what to build instead)
Health, burnout, and staying useful to your own art
