Paul McCartney and Wings entered one of their most adventurous periods with 'London Town', the atmospheric 1978 album featuring “With a Little Luck,” “London Town,” “I'm Carrying,” “Girlfriend,” and “Morse Moose and the Grey Goose.”Author Luca Perasi joins Booked On Rock to reveal how Wings recorded aboard a boat in the Virgin Islands, why Paul McCartney began incorporating synthesizers and electronic textures, and how his creative partnership with Denny Laine shaped the album. Luca also discusses the departures of Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English, the making and phenomenal success of “Mull of Kintyre,” and the unreleased fan favorite “Waterspout.” Was Wings still a genuine band—or had it become a vehicle for McCartney's musical vision? Did contemporary critics underestimate the album? And does London Town deserve a more prominent place in the Wings catalogue?Luca's book, Wings: London Town—The Story of an Adventurous Album, takes readers inside the songs, sessions and unusual circumstances behind one of McCartney's most atmospheric and overlooked records. Purchase a copy of Wings: London Town.

Nineteen Ninety Three.It's a country we've visited on a number of occasions in this particular parish of variously compiled pop. And it's always one that welcomes us back warmly.There's our strident, shiny boybands working up a sweat down at your local nightclub or hanging around the street corners looking menacing.There's the noticeably older relatives who had hits back ion the 80s and are back, Back, BACK with familiar hits that now nestle comfortably on shiny new CD greatest hits tucked under their sensibly dressed arms. Is that a remix I hear?And of course there's the Europop exchange students. Fearless, no pretence, no baggage and a selection of smiles, beats and bleeps that - let's face it - we loved then and love now.And all of these guests - and much more - can be found on the twenty-fourth volume of the nation's favourite compilation album - the one we cleverly call NOW24!And revisiting this fascinating (did we once describe Pop Hinterland, Mr Hodgkinson?) year is songwriter and performer Ray Harris.Join us we head back far too many years to care for all of the above, and Ray cherry picks tracks that trigger those his pop memories including 2 Unlimited, The Bluebells, Lenny Kravitz, World Party, kd. Lang and Ultravox to name a few.Ray shares his stories of growing up which surely involves a Back to NOW first - is that Frédéric Chopin waving at us?We also hear about his adventures supporting (amongst others) Sister Sledge AND James Brown, which member of Genesis he shared a bus journey with (yes, really!) and why he believes (rightly, of course) Paul McCartney is our greatest living musician.And we find out more about Ray's latest album, Prelude and what it means to be touring and performing after a seven year hiatus - from Glasgow to Vietnam!NOW 24 - as Macca said, delivering hope. And let's be honest, we could all welcome that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono's close friend, assistant and artistic collaborator Dan Richter takes us even deeper behind the doors of rock-and-roll history in part two of their conversation, recalling the making of Imagine with Phil Spector, what The Beatles' breakup looked like from inside John and Yoko's world, and John's enduring artistic rivalry with Paul McCartney. He shares how Yoko's relentless devotion to peace helped shape John's creative evolution—and introduces us to a rarely seen side of Lennon, including his secret passion for doing hair. Dan reveals what he believes was the secret ingredient behind John Lennon's musical genius, and at one point during the conversation the ghost of John Lennon interrupts the interview. Get ready for another intimate dose of two of the worlds most revolutionary artists told by someone who wasn't merely there— he was part of the story. SPONSORED BY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.yerbamadre.com⁠Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee? email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation, or visit: ⁠www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship⁠ LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter. SOUND MIX: Chris FallerOPENING SONG: Tripura Sundari by Earthtones Music & Sheela BringiCLOSING SONG: Ocean Of Beauty by Earthtones Music & Sheela BringiTHiS SHOW IS A LABOR of LOVE.

The world is mourning the loss of country music legend, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who has passed away in Nashville at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. In this special tribute episode of The Quicky, we celebrate the extraordinary life, sharp business acumen, and generous spirit of an icon who brought light to generations. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising alternative currency her family used to pay the local doctor on the day she was born, long before she built a multi-million-dollar empire. Why she boldly turned down Elvis Presley over one of her biggest songs—and how that single decision reshaped music history for future generations of artists. The staggering scale of her quiet philanthropic work, from donating millions of books to funding major medical breakthroughs behind the scenes. The secret track locked away at Dollywood that no one is allowed to hear yet, and the massive collection of unreleased music she left behind. We're joined by Cameron Adams, Australia's leading music journalist, who reflects on meeting Dolly at her Nashville compound and breaks down why she was perhaps "the last person on Earth that everyone loved." Also in today's headlines: Why Commissioner Virginia Bell has requested a short delay for the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission's final report, and the solemn anniversary the move aims to respect. The proposed green energy rules for massive new AI data centres, and why key state leaders are already pushing back against Anthony Albanese.

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, leaving behind an extraordinary catalogue of music—and a legacy of kindness, generosity and humanity.In this personal tribute, I reflect on Dolly's connection with my late mum, who introduced me to country music, and how I gradually discovered that country and heavy metal were often singing about the same people, struggles and hopes.Dolly gave us timeless songs including “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.” Yet her legacy reaches far beyond music.Inspired by her father, who was unable to read or write, Dolly created the Imagination Library. It has now provided more than 300 million free books to children around the world. She also funded scholarships, supported families who lost their homes in the 2016 Tennessee wildfires and donated millions of dollars to medical research.I also look at how Dolly built bridges between musical worlds—from singing “Jolene” with Judas Priest's Rob Halford at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to making Rockstar with artists including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Peter Frampton.Dolly Parton showed us that music can cross genres, generations, backgrounds and beliefs. She also demonstrated that kindness is not a weakness. Kindness is a superpower.This video is dedicated to Dolly's family, friends and fans—and to everyone whose life was made a little better by her music or generosity.Please share your memories of Dolly Parton and the songs that have meant the most to you in the comments.Rest in peace, Dolly, and thank you for everything.Phil AstonNow Spinning MagazineMusic is the healer and the doctor.

After a little time away...THE BOYS ARE BACK.And apparently Tyler decided the best way to celebrate our return was to completely blindside Woody with a list of conspiracy theories and force him to rank them on the spot.Welcome to The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking | Volume 1.No prep.No research.No warning.Just Woody, Tyler, a pile of conspiracy theories, and one simple scale:1: Not in a million years.5: Absolutely. I'd bet my life on it.What could possibly go wrong?In this episode of That Would Be Rad, we finally answer a question longtime listeners have probably wondered more than once:What do Woody and Tyler actually believe?Over the years, we've talked about UFOs, simulation theory, strange history, paranormal encounters, hidden agendas, unexplained phenomena, and more rabbit trails than we can count.But this time, Tyler came prepared with a list.Woody did not.And the results get interesting fast.We tackle some of the biggest conspiracy theories of all time, including the Moon landing, Stanley Kubrick, Area 51, Bob Lazar, Paul McCartney, The Simpsons, Princess Diana, the Mandela Effect, and plenty more we're deliberately not spoiling here.Some theories get laughed out of the room.Some receive surprisingly high scores.Some reveal that Woody and Tyler agree far more than either expected.And others may be enough to ruin a perfectly good friendship.But underneath all the ridiculousness, arguments, side trails, and increasingly questionable rankings is a much bigger question:How do you know what to believe anymore?When photographs can be manipulated...Voices can be cloned...Videos can be fabricated...Stories can spread before anyone verifies them...And the line between authentic and manufactured gets blurrier by the day...What does “evidence” even mean anymore?And can you explore a strange idea without automatically believing it?That's where this episode gets very That Would Be Rad.We're not here to tell you every conspiracy is true.And we're definitely not here to tell you every strange theory is nonsense.We're here to look at the weird stuff, argue about it, laugh about it, follow the rabbit trail a little too far...And ask the question that has fueled this show from the beginning:Okay... but what if?And here's the problem:We didn't even make it through Tyler's list. Not even close. So yes...Volume 2 is coming!And things may get even stranger from here.This episode is for anyone who loves conspiracy theories, alternate timelines, paranormal podcasts, unexplained mysteries, high strangeness, fringe theories, internet rabbit holes, and arguing about bizarre ideas with your best friend.So put on the headphones.Keep an open mind.Question everything.And rank along with us.1 through 5.Where do YOU land?Be Rad.RAD WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR SHOW:JOIN OUR PATREON: Exclusive episodes, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes weirdness: patreon.com/thatwouldberadCHECK OUT OUR MERCH: Grab official That Would Be Rad gear: thatwouldberad.myspreadshop.comSHOW INFO:

Zan Rowe joins Ricki and Tim to chat about the new season of Take 5, including what it's like getting huge stars like Sir Paul McCartney and Shania Twain to open up about the five songs that shaped their lives. Then things get competitive when Zan takes on Ricki in a game of Sing!, with songs from artists she's interviewed, including Missy Higgins, Paul McCartney, Lorde and the Spice Girls. Ricki also takes the opportunity to finally apologise to Zan for drunkenly screaming along to Coldplay at a concert, before revealing she later vomited in her husband's hat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Oklahoma was never like this?” Really, Sir Paul? AGAIN with the complaining about the 1999, Hugh Jackman-led revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's first banger? Oh sure, Paul - go ahead and be all Tipper Gore-y about that opening scene where Aunt Eller is churning butter like some barnyard horndog, milking every delicate inch of that up and down churn work. And don't get me started on how Paul handled the edits to the “Farmer & The Cowman” dance break! He (allegedly) threw the London Cast Recording CD at Heather Mills!! That's a $17.99 CD, my guy!   Who the hell knows what Macca was talking about in his 1986 semi-hit, “Press”. But we'll be damned if it isn't one of the best pure pop songs of the mid 80's. Much like the album from which it came, it's never gotten the love it's so obviously due. Until now, as Tony & T.J. freshly (?) assess side two of “Press To Play” with open arms (#Journey) and open eyes (#Incubus). Along the way, they ask (rather intuitively, if we do say so ourselves):  

A sports-adjacent tidbit this Friday morning from KMOX sports anchor Joe Pott. The Beatles played a short concert at a rainy Busch Stadium 60 years ago, today! The Beatles' standard set consisted of 11 songs: ‘Rock And Roll Music', ‘She's A Woman', ‘If I Needed Someone', ‘Day Tripper', ‘Baby's In Black', ‘I Feel Fine', ‘Yesterday', ‘I Wanna Be Your Man', ‘Nowhere Man', ‘Paperback Writer', and ‘Long Tall Sally'.

Forgive us, dear reader, for sounding Jaded. But most real McCartney fans will admit that Aerosmith's 2001 LP “Just Push Play” is better than literally any solo Macca; and perhaps even better than most Beatles albums. (*Does not include “Live At The Star Club Vol. 2”) But, in turn, would there even be an Aerosmith without Macca's 1986 offering, “Press To Play”? We'll leave that to the rock scholars to decide. But one thing is for sure: “Press To Play” is now officially 40 years old, or, in U.S. presidential terms, at least three decades older than the girls a certain orange baboon used to regularly party with. (In fairness, it's tough for real patriots to get too worked up about that, especially when Obama once wore a tan suit.) T.J.'s been in love with this cassette since its release the summer of 1986. Tony's had the opposite reaction since he was contractually obligated to listen to the album twice, in 2020 and 2026; in brave service of arguably America's Favorite Podcast (TM). This week, the Gab Two discuss whether “Press To Play” has aged well and warrants more respect in Macca's catalog. Does it deserve an Archive Collection reissue before or after “Ocean's Kingdom”? Are there more remixes of “Press” than there are takes of “Not Guilty”? And what about the other pertinent Beatles questions you won't hear on woke Newsmax, like:

Like a lot of parents, Eli struggled over the years to get his kids more into reading and away from screens. He wasn't necessarily on the search for a technological solution, but then an interesting device came our way: the Yoto Player, a screen-free audio player for kids. Eli's 10-year old son has been loving to read along to the Harry Potter books (and he often finds him after he falls asleep, and the player is still going). Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/ben-drury The story behind Yoto is from a similar moment of parental struggle. About a decade ago, Ben Drury was shopping for a stroller in a London department store and found one with an iPad mount built in. For a newborn. He remembers the reaction being physical — this is just wrong. But if you're expecting an anti-screen crusade, that's not quite what happened . The line Ben uses is: we don't say screens are bad, we say audio is good. Listening is good for creativity and imagination — and there's research going back to the 1980s to back that up. Ben is the co-founder and CEO of Yoto, makers of a kids' audio player that works by dropping a physical card into a small speaker. Before Yoto Ben spent about a decade building a B2B digital music platform called 7digital which he took public. What he learned from that experience proved helpful as he and his co-founder started Yoto. Ben and his co-founder became parents at roughly the same time, and wanted a way for their kids to connect with music and books like they did in childhood. So they started hacking on Raspberry Pis with no hardware experience whatsoever. How hard could it be, right? The 3rd Gen Yoto Player Turns out, it's pretty hard. They took a restrained approach. Yoto is a cube, because it was the simplest shape they could think of. It uses NFC cards that have a Pokemon card feel. The 16 by 16 pixel display presents pixel art that gives Yoto a fun personality. In this conversation, we get into the design principles that came out of Montessori, their experience working with Pentagram on product design and branding, why Paul McCartney became an early angel investor, and what changes when you go from a Kickstarter that raised fifty thousand dollars to nine-figure revenue. Bio Ben Drury is the co-founder and CEO of Yoto, the screen-free audio player that lets children control their own listening by dropping a physical card into a speaker. Before Yoto, he spent roughly a decade building 7digital, a B2B digital music platform he took public. He and his co-founder started Yoto in 2017 with a Kickstarter campaign and no hardware experience between them; today the company employs about 220 people across six countries, sells in 1,900 Target stores in the US, and counts Paul McCartney among its early angel investors.

What happens when you hear your own hit song playing in public, but never receive the royalty?In this episode of Riding Unicorns, James sits down with Ryan Edwards, Founder & CEO of Audoo, the music technology company rebuilding how public performance royalties are measured and distributed.The idea for Audoo came from Ryan's own experience as a musician. After hearing one of his songs playing in a London department store and discovering there was effectively no reliable way to track the royalty, he started investigating how the system actually worked.What he found was an industry still relying heavily on proxy data, manual surveys and people physically visiting venues with clipboards.Audoo's answer is the Audio Meter, a small connected device that identifies music being played in public venues without recording or storing conversations. The resulting data allows collecting societies to understand what was actually played and distribute royalties more accurately to artists and rights holders.Today, Audoo operates across 16 countries, with its technology deployed in environments ranging from cafés and retailers to gyms and leisure centres.Ryan shares how he built the first prototype on a Raspberry Pi at his kitchen table, validated the idea with the former Chairman of PRS for Music, and launched the first real-world deployment on the other side of the world in Australia during COVID.We also discuss the unusual group of investors Audoo has attracted along the way, including Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Adam Clayton of U2 and Adele, and how those relationships have helped build credibility and open doors across the music industry.Topics Covered• Why the public performance royalty system needed rebuilding• The personal experience that led Ryan to start Audoo• Building the first Audio Meter prototype on a Raspberry Pi• Why privacy had to be designed into the technology from day one• The challenges of combining software, data and physical hardware• Landing Audoo's first major deployment in Australia during COVID• Why venues are willing to install Audio Meters• How better music recognition data changes royalty distributions• Raising capital from some of the biggest names in music• Expanding Audoo across 16 countries and into the Middle East• What Ryan has learned from eight years as a founder• Why founders need to celebrate wins and know when something can wait until MondayThis is a conversation about spotting an antiquated system, using technology to rebuild it from first principles, and creating the data infrastructure that could finally ensure artists are paid accurately when their music is played.

“I just knew that I wanted to be a mega superstar and I didn't know how…I feel like Africa chose me before I even chose Africa, and I feel music chose me before I chose music.”Nkechi Ogbonna speaks to Nigerian singer and songwriter Yemi Alade about becoming one of Africa's biggest music stars and a trailblazer who has helped take Afrobeats to the world.Alade has collaborated with artists including Beyoncé and became the first female African Afrobeats artist to surpass 100 million views on a single music video. She's now touring the continent to promote her latest album. Alade reflects on the challenges women face in Africa's music industry, myths around success and some of the difficulties she's faced touring on a Nigerian passport.Thank you to the Focus on Africa team for its help in making this programme.

On this episode, Marc talks to Ira Robbins, editor of "Zip It Up! Too: More of the Best of Trouser Press Magazine, 1974-1984," published on his own Trouser Press Books. It's a follow up to 2024's "Zip It Up!," the first anthology of pieces from the legendary music magazine which Robbins co-founded and co-edited; I talked to him about that book when it came out, and you can hear our conversation in episode 31 which ran in March 2024. This second volume features more great articles from Trouser Press, as well as the full series of what they called "Autodiscographies," in which bands such as Blondie, John Cale, Iggy Pop, Sparks and more give guided tours through their own discographies as they stood at the time. The book also includes features divided into categories such as The Old Guard, New Wave and Beyond, and Characters, with fascinating pieces on artists from Paul McCartney to the Cure to Can to Duran Duran.As Ira writes, "The story of Trouser Press resembles the story of a band. We met in high school, got things going in college, had fun for a while, met a lot of great people, made no money, broke up - and then got famous. We never had a clear sense of what the magazine meant to anyone until we stopped. Since 1984, I have been amazed by how durable a concept, a memory, an ideal Trouser Press turned out to be."We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Ira Robbins!

What happens when you know exactly how you want your music to sound… while still insisting you don't really know what you're doing?In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath talks to Jorge Wilson about creativity, perfectionism, independence and finding a sound that actually feels like your own.Jorge describes himself as a self-taught musician who often plays by ear, layering instruments according to what sounds right rather than what the rulebook says he should be doing. Yet behind that apparently instinctive approach is someone with a remarkably clear idea of the tones, textures and atmosphere he wants to create. They talk about the influences behind both Jorge's music and his distinctive visual identity from David Bowie, Steve Lacy and Michael Jackson to Richard Ashcroft, Johnny Marr, Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco and why imperfection can sometimes be precisely what makes music interesting. There's also the story behind Life Goes On, a song Jorge describes almost as a message to himself. As a perfectionist and an over-thinker, he wanted to remind himself to let things go rather than allowing everything to keep playing on his mind. His songwriting often works that way: the emotion comes first, and sometimes he doesn't fully understand what he's written about until the song is finished. The conversation gets into the strange trade-off that comes with becoming a solo artist too: complete creative freedom also means being on your own. Jorge talks about needing people around him who will give him an unfiltered opinion, including producer Steven Griffiths, and why he'd rather hear that something isn't good enough than receive comfortable praise. And perhaps most importantly, they discuss learning to accept that not everybody has to like what you make. Jorge's approach is wonderfully straightforward: if somebody doesn't like his song, that's fine. If he still loves what he's created, that's what matters. Plus: the borrowed Höfner bass that made Graham jealous, why having too many instruments can actually make creativity harder, Jorge's first song after seeing Richard Ashcroft, the forthcoming debut of the black suit on stage, and why Paul McCartney and Johnny Marr represent musicianship at its best.Jorge's debut EP JPW is available on streaming platforms.

After more than 800 episodes, I've observed that many of my remarkable guests are connected by one or more common threads. Each episode of Special Collections focuses on a particular thread that ties together some of my guests. In this episode, that common thread is poetry. This episode features five remarkable, world-class poets who have expanded the range of artistic expression featured on this podcast. When I started this podcast just over five years ago, as a musician myself, I focused primarily on great musicians as my guests. But as those guests began introducing me to other artists, a wonderful development occurred: my focus expanded to include other creative disciplines, including poetry. And my first poet guest led me to the second, and so on. I've now built a roster of extraordinary poets — and I look forward to continuing to add to it. What makes poetry especially interesting to me is that I've adapted the SongFest portion of each interview — which I do with my musician guests — into a PoetryFest segment for my poet guests, where they read one of their works live on the air. I love it. So with that in mind, let me reintroduce these five remarkable poets and share a portion of the poem each performed live on the podcast. ⸻ Robert Pinsky is a three-time United States Poet Laureate. He has received numerous awards and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He created the Favorite Poem Project, has performed with Bruce Springsteen, and was featured on The Simpsons.   Paul Muldoon is a Pulitzer Prize–winning Irish poet. He is the editor of Paul McCartney's book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present. He is also the author of 15 collections of poetry and has been a professor at Princeton for more than 35 years.   Rowan Ricardo Phillips is an award-winning poet and writer, with works including Silver, The Ground, and Heaven. He is also a sportswriter and serves as the poetry editor of The New Republic.   Tom Sleigh is an award-winning poet, dramatist, and essayist. He has written 11 books of poetry, including The King's Touch, Army Cats, and Space Walk.   Declan Ryan is an Irish poet now based in London. His first collection is titled Crisis Actor. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Guardian, The Observer, and The Irish Times.   So there it is — five extraordinary poets who have been guests on this podcast. As I mentioned during their interviews, poetry is not always emphasized in American education. My own exposure was limited to classics like “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. But the art of poetry stands alongside all the other arts, and I'm proud to feature these great poets on the podcast — and I look forward to presenting more. Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for another Special Collections episode soon. This is Robert Miller with Follow Your Dream.

Eric Idle and Lorne Michaels teamed up in 1978 to make the greatest Beatles parody you've probably never seen — and it worked so well that Paul McCartney sent back a real letter saying he didn't find it funny, while John Lennon loved it so much he never returned his copy. This week on Cinema Psycho Show, Brian and John dig into The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, the SNL-adjacent mockumentary packed with John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Mick Jagger, and even George Harrison himself. We break down the Beatles history it's spoofing, argue about whether you need to be a Beatles fan to get the jokes, compare it to Spinal Tap and Young Frankenstein, and read your listener reviews.

Bill Maher welcomes Beatles historian Martin Lewis for a lively, opinionated conversation celebrating the music, myths, and enduring legacy of the greatest band in rock history. Together, they unpack how John Lennon and Paul McCartney built one of history's greatest creative partnerships, challenge the stories fans have been repeating for decades, and revisit the moments that changed music forever. Martin shares behind-the-scenes stories from his years working with Paul McCartney, explains why The Beatles continue to captivate each new generation, and gleefully busts some of the band's most persistent myths. Bill and Martin debate Get Back, A Hard Day's Night, Brian Epstein's influence, John Lennon's songwriting, Paul McCartney's genius, the breakup, and why, sixty years later, everyone still thinks they're the Beatles expert.

Listen without ads on patreon - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast SUMMARY This week on the Dopey Total Replay, Dave returns from his summer hiatus and previews the family's Pacific Northwest adventure, the upcoming Patreon Zoom, and the big decision facing DopeyCon: Friday night at the SVA Theatre or Saturday at the old church.   Then we travel back to Dopey Episode 37 for a classic conversation with Dave and Chris. They talk about sponsorship, working the steps, honesty, spirituality, and the strange miracle of one addict helping another. Dave tells the story of Jerry Garcia using a radio interview to summon drugs after the Grateful Dead's package went missing in Philadelphia, plus tales of John Lennon's psychedelic excess and Paul McCartney's alleged plan to smuggle Owsley acid inside camera equipment.   Things get progressively dopier as Dave remembers stealing fried chicken and vodka at a company party, while Chris describes shooting cocaine in Anguilla, hallucinating benevolent Rastas hiding in the bushes, chasing an imaginary car around an abandoned house, and eventually being rescued from Saint Martin by his brother.   Finally, Dave recounts smuggling six bundles of heroin into Jamaica, burning through nearly everything, passing out on Valium during a press trip, and repeatedly sneaking into first class while withdrawing on the flight home. Beneath all the insanity, Dave and Chris reflect on the possession of addiction, the freedom of sobriety, and the strange comfort of no longer needing drugs to feel safe.   Stay strong, Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
