Hey, I have a new podcast where I made a ton of really cool audio documentaries on how records really get made with Atlantic Records called Inside The Album! Atlantic gave me unprecedented access to talk about how records really get made, the struggles and real thoughts that go into records that change how the music landscape looks. I am so beyond excited for this and if you have loved what I have done in the past with Noise Creators and Off The Record I am sure you are going to love this! New episodes of Noise Creators start airing on Friday as well!

In this episode I am joined by Franz Nicolay a fantastic music and now author. We talk about his book The Humorless Ladies Of Border Control and his thoughts on music and creativity.
