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. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

He enjoyed a spectacular rise in The Beatles, and went on to become a gold-plated member of British music royalty. Hear how Paul McCartney, one of the last century's defining songwriters, became the UK's first billionaire rock star along the way.

Taylor Swift Today with Lyla: the honeymoon is on, the newlyweds have vanished — and the wedding still won't stop making headlines. This week a genuine war broke out over whether the wedding of the century was fabulous or, per some anonymous guests, kind of tacky. The complaints: a buffet instead of a sit-down dinner, an hour-long luxury raffle, and vows that ran twenty minutes each. The pushback came from people willing to attach their names to it. Plus the secret dog nobody knew about, the loveliest story about the man who stood beside Taylor at the altar, and a little more on the dress.
The Strange Brew - artist stories behind the greatest music ever recorded
The Iveys came together in Swansea in the early 1960s, with Ron Griffiths on bass alongside guitarist Pete Ham. Bill Collins took over as manager, and it was during their residency at the Marquee that Beatles aide Mal Evans caught their set and carried a demo tape to Apple. Live tapes, and dozens of demos have since been unearthed from the Golders Green house where they wrote and rehearsed. Ray Davies also took an interest and recorded a handful of their songs. Tony Visconti also produced, including Ron’s ‘Dear Angie.' For Badfinger's ‘Come and Get It' Paul McCartney read an interview where Ron complained the group got nothing from The Beatles, turned up at Golders Green with a demo, and told them to copy it exactly, no changes, this is the hit. At Abbey Road with McCartney producing, it was Ron who broke the rule with a Hendrix style bass run at the end of the take. McCartney kept it in. Not long after, a domestic row over late night noise waking his baby got Ron dropped from the group, right on the cusp of its biggest success. The tapes and demos have kept surfacing, and he’s now back on lead vocals for ‘Take Good Care of My Baby' on the new album Just Look Inside The Cover – Songs of Pete Ham.

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music. Along the way, they might be engineering the recordings, picking the songs, guiding the singers, picking the best takes of songs, balancing egos, fixing the lyrics, booking the studio time, buying lunch, playing instruments, pushing artists further, writing or cowriting the songs, selecting the musicians to use, overseeing the mixes, and many other tasks. Making records is always a combination of many skills and goals, and the producer needs to have what it takes to make the session productive and the music compelling.In this book, interviewees include people who have worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, P!nk, U2, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Wu-Tang Clan, David Bowie, T.Rex, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, the Replacements, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, and Sabrina Carpenter, plus more. And that's just the beginning of the credits these producers―Brian Eno, Finneas, Glyn Johns, Hank Shocklee, Jack Antonoff, Joe Boyd, Jon Brion, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Linda Perry, Mark Ronson, RZA, Sasami, Steve Lillywhite, Susan Rogers, T Bone Burnett, and many others―collectively hold.All of these interviews come from the pages of Tape Op magazine, founded in 1996 by editor Larry Crane. Over the last thirty years, along with publisher John Baccigaluppi, Tape Op has become the world's deepest archive of conversations about the art and science of recording music, and is still an active, print-based magazine with the highest circulation of any recording magazine in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Sixty-plus years in, the Rolling Stones return with Foreign Tongues — fourteen tracks featuring Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and a surprise turn from The Cure's Robert Smith, plus previously unheard drumming from the late Charlie Watts. Janda goes track by track through the record, digging into its riffs, ballads, and covers, and makes the case for why it's the Stones' best album in years.

Stuart Ward grew up on a council estate in Exeter, England, obsessed with pirate radio, chart positions, and — oddly — record labels. That obsession, plus a teenage belief that Sweden had cracked the code on a fairer society, eventually carried him across the North Sea, first as a chartered accountant, then as one of Swedish television and radio's most recognisable voices for decades.Stuart hosted Night Flight Scandinavia and Top Gear Nordic (a name he lifted straight from John Peel's old BBC show, nothing to do with cars), interviewed everyone from Paul McCartney to Barry Humphries to Pelé, ran the Polar Music Prize — often called the Nobel Prize of music — and, in between all of it, tried and failed to build a political career in the UK Labour Party before finding his footing instead in Swedish politics. He also spent over a decade at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok and lived in Thailand for eighteen years.In this episode, Stuart and host Bob Wells talk about chasing a dream with zero self-confidence, what changes when you go from radio to television, the etiquette of never looking starstruck, and why curiosity — not talent — might be the real secret behind a rich life.In This Episode You'll LearnHow a working-class boy from Exeter who could name every record label on the UK charts ended up in the Swedish music businessWhy Stuart moved to Sweden as a chartered accountant in 1973 — and why he stayedThe real story behind the name "Top Gear Nordic" (hint: it's a John Peel tribute, not a car show)What it was like trading a UK parliamentary candidacy for a life with the man he loved, at a time when that wasn't something you talked about openlyThe unglamorous technical side of early live TV versus the freewheeling looseness of radioWhy one veteran cameraman told Stuart he had a rare gift for getting people to open up on cameraStuart's interviews with Paul McCartney (who ended up interviewing him), Barry Humphries/Dame Edna, John Cleese, Pelé, and Björn BorgThe Swedish concept of Jantelagen — a kind of built-in social suspicion of standing out — and how it echoes attitudes Stuart encountered growing up in EnglandHow Stuart came to run the Polar Music Prize, founded by ABBA's co-creator Stig Anderson to bridge classical music's snobbery and popular music's lack of respectWhy the King of Sweden presents the Polar Music Prize the same way he presents the Nobel Prizes — and the historical reason the Nobel Peace Prize alone is awarded in Oslo, not StockholmThe office politics and "dinosaurs" Stuart contended with while running a prestigious international prizeLife after presenting: over a decade working at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok, eighteen years living in Thailand, and returning to Sweden to restart his political career with the Social DemocratsWhy door-to-door canvassing at 77 has led to some surprising language moments — including conversations in fluent Thai that stopped Swedish neighbours in their tracksStuart's take on what actually produces a zest for life: curiosity, self-belief, and refusing to assume the world only exists in whatever room you happen to be standing inResources;The Polar Music Prize Royal Swedish Academy of MusicYouTube: Stuart Ward Top GearQuestion or comment?

This week Baxie talks with Paul Rappaport—the former Vice President of Rock Promotion for Columbia Records! For 33 years Paul built an amazing track record of single handedly getting some of the most legendary recording artists in history on the radio, into the charts, and selling records by the millions. Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Joel, Aerosmith, Journey, Santana, Judas Priest, Alice in Chains, Psychedelic Furs, and countless others owe a great deal of their success to Paul's work at Columbia. The man is a true record industry legend. Paul has just released what is perhaps the single most accurate account of the wild relationship between radio and the record industry in the 1970's, 80's, and early 90's ever written in his new book “Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay, and the Art of Rock Promotion”. As someone who lived through those days, I can tell you with 100% confidence that it EXACTLY how things used to be! If you listen to one episode of BAXIES MUSICAL PODCAST this year…listen to this one too! Just amazing! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Taylor Swift Today, one week later, with Lyla: the newlyweds have vanished into married life, the wild details are still trickling out, and we finally know how we'll see the dress. A Dior spokesperson confirmed that Taylor Swift herself will share the first official wedding photos on her own Instagram — no date yet, exactly the way she's controlled this story from day one. Plus the first sighting of Taylor since the wedding (a low-key Montana getaway with her new in-laws), the city reimbursement that settled the "who paid" debate, and a few late details that'll make you smile. Here's the week-later check-in.

Taylor Swift got married at Madison Square Garden and, somehow, the AMC CEO became our main correspondent for the “wedding of the century.” In this episode, we piece together the night from leaks, fan videos, and unhinged eyewitnesses: the peach-draped entryway and TT logo, the fake “garden” inside an arena, Taylor walking a bridge to a Love Story string arrangement, Adam Sandler officiating and allegedly singing, Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performing, and a thousand-person guest list that feels half fairytale, half corporate retreat. We get into who was there (Simone Biles, Fergie, Selena, Gigi, Eras Tour crew), who conspicuously wasn't (Blake, Phoebe, Lorde, Lana, Ice Spice), and what that says about power, PR, and who actually wants to be folded into the Tayvis storyline. We also talk about those 20-minute vows and the room in tears, the parasocial high of watching Taylor finally get married, and the ethics of a wedding that's also a brand activation—plus the Swifties outside MSG in a heat wave, singing to blank walls and scrambling for leftover pastries like subway RATS!

What happens when you start selling at six years old — not lemonade, but industrial machinery parts? Doug C. Brown figured out the math of leverage before he finished second grade: why work forty hours for ten dollars when you can sell one part in six minutes and make the same? That early wiring never left him. From military service to selling music equipment to Aerosmith and Paul McCartney, from nuclear medicine to telecom where he helped grow a company from $62 million to $368 million in two years as their number one rep, Doug's career is a masterclass in following the leverage.Doug joins Bill to unpack his concept of Win-Win-Win Selling — the idea that every deal should produce three winners: you, your buyer, and someone else who benefits from the transaction. He shares the origin story behind this philosophy, born from watching too many reps stuff commissions by selling clients things they didn't need, simply because they didn't have enough prospects in the pipeline. Doug explains how he built an internal partner channel at his telecom company — connecting telephone hardware vendors with his cost-saving service so that clients saved money, vendors sold more phone systems, and Doug's phone rang sixty-two times a day with inbound leads.The conversation digs into what actually separates top 1% performers from everybody else. Doug breaks it down to four things: always thinking in terms of leverage, systematizing everything, continuously building business skills, and continuously building personal skills. Bill and Doug trade war stories about the car dealership model of win-lose selling, the brutal economics of department store procurement, and the costly lesson Doug learned when he walked into a multi-million dollar meeting totally unprepared while six people on the other side had done their homework. They also explore the power of follow-up — Doug's two-year nurture that landed NASCAR, his mentor Chet Holmes' five-year pursuit of Jay Abraham and even longer play to land Tony Robbins, and why a simple quarterly "just thinking about you" message builds the kind of relationship capital that changes careers.In This EpisodeAbout the GuestDoug C. Brown is the CEO of CEO Sales Strategies and author of Win-Win Selling: Unlocking Your Power for Profitability by Resolving Objections. A military veteran, former musician, and nuclear medicine professional turned sales leader, Doug has helped companies from startups to Fortune 500s build revenue growth systems. He was the #1 sales rep at a telecom company that grew from $62M to $368M, served as President of Training and Sales under Tony Robbins, and has worked with brands like Enterprise, Procter & Gamble, and NASCAR.

Asher remembers when Paul McCartney and John Lennon played “I Want to Hold Your Hand” for him for the first time. “I thought, am I losing my mind, or is this one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life?” McCartney, who was dating Asher's sister at the time, was living with his family. A new documentary, ‘Peter Asher: Everywhere Man,' chronicles Asher's life in the record industry. He spoke with Terry Gross about his own band in the British Invasion (Peter and Gordon), discovering James Taylor and launching Linda Ronstadt.

When Taylor Swift curates a concert, it's legends only. While Swift's July 3 nuptials to Travis Kelce have been pretty successfully kept under wraps -- including any photos of the bride and groom on their wedding day -- a couple of musical details have crept out, including that Stevie Nicks performed at the ceremony and that Paul McCartney played a Beatles song he hasn't done since 1964: “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about the details we've learned from the big day and what (if anything) we might see of photos or videos from inside New York's Madison Square Garden.

Did you survive the Fourth without personal fireworks? Today we recap our parade experience and want to hear how YOU celebrated America's 250th — then we dig into the fires that broke out despite Utah's statewide ban: a brush fire in Provo's Slate Canyon, a "near-total loss" at the original Costa Vida in Layton after a suspected firework fire collapsed the roof and caused over $1M in damage, and a Kaysville brush fire started by young adults shooting bottle rockets at each other. And of course, THE wedding — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot July 3 at Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating, Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performing, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid (who was in Utah this weekend narrating for the Tabernacle Choir's America 250 broadcast) sharing Sandler's best marriage advice: "Keep kissing."

Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge close out the Marc Cox Morning Show with an entertaining mix of celebrity gossip, American pride, sports, and politics. The hour opens with laughs over an imaginary Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding featuring twenty-minute vows, Adam Sandler officiating, and Paul McCartney providing the entertainment before transitioning into a thoughtful discussion about patriotism inspired by JD Vance's Fourth of July message, arguing that America deserves the same honor and gratitude people show their parents despite its imperfections. Ryan then takes listeners on a nostalgic trip through Philadelphia and the Rocky Balboa steps before tackling the growing backlash surrounding Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, contending that Hollywood continues to alienate audiences by reinventing beloved classics instead of respecting the original stories. KMOX Sports Director Tom Ackerman joins to preview Team USA's pivotal World Cup showdown with Belgium, discuss the controversy surrounding a disputed red card, and celebrate the Cardinals' dominant 17-1 rout of the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Wrapping up the hour, Ryan and Kim debate the new Trump Accounts for children, question reports surrounding Paul Pelosi's alleged hit-and-run incident, laugh about the FBI intercepting unauthorized drones over World Cup venues, and close with movie banter and a warm farewell before Marc Cox returns from the holiday break. It's an upbeat final hour blending humor, faith, patriotism, sports, and common-sense conversation that perfectly caps another edition of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Taylor Swift just had the wedding of the century, and naturally, it came with all the drama, spectacle, and controversy you'd expect.Madison Square Garden played host to enough celebrity arrivals to break the internet, and we're unpacking all of it. From Jason Sudeikis's appearance confusing us all to the absolutely unhinged guest list moment that had everyone spiralling, this wedding was basically living in the internet, and we're taking it all in.We're also diving into the Bride and Groom's outfits, the performances that floored everyone, and Lena Dunham's very inappropriate (but very funny) joke about Travis Kelce and his football mates.So whether you're team "I'm happy for her" or team "this is completely unhinged," one thing's clear: nobody's wedding will ever come close to this level of spectacle, chaos, and cultural significance.Take The Spill's monthly pop culture quiz here and test your knowledge!

Johnny Mac delivers a bonus rant about reports that Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating, citing coverage from The New York Times and other outlets. He mocks the celebrity spectacle, noting details like Austin Swift as man of honor, Jason Kelce as best man, and Sandler's purported marriage advice via Andy Reid to “keep kissing,” plus comments attributed to the AMC Theatres CEO, Joseph Kahn, and a critical Slate piece questioning Sandler as the choice. Mac speculates about how guest lists are shaped by Hollywood networking rather than real friendships, naming attendees such as Paul McCartney, Charlie Day, Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Donald Glover, Chris Rock, and Nikki Glaser. He also recounts Dave Chappelle joking on CNN that he wasn't invited, then closes with brief personal updates about losing internet and upcoming episodes. 00:39 Sandler Officiates Shock01:31 Marriage Advice Buzz02:05 Media Reactions Roast03:25 Guest List Confusion04:05 How Celeb Invites Work04:59 Comedians at the Wedding05:51 Chappelle Bachelor Party Bit06:28 Quick Wrap and CongratsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac is a daily podcast covering comedians, stand-up comedy, late night television, and the comedy industry.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with John Cowan, a musician whose voice has been part of my own musical memory since I first heard New Grass Revival as a kid at the Georgia Mountain Fair in Hiawassee, Georgia.John and I talk about his early influences, from Paul McCartney and Duck Dunn to Leon Russell, and how he developed as both a singer and a bass player. We also dig into the specific challenge of singing lead while holding down the low end, especially when the bass part and vocal line are moving in different rhythmic directions.The conversation moves through John's years with New Grass Revival, his deep admiration for Sam Bush's rhythm, and the way bluegrass taught him the power of simplicity. John also reflects on finding his own voice after years of being able to imitate other singers, and how joining New Grass Revival forced him to become himself as a vocalist.We also talk about his work with The Doobie Brothers, his respect for Tiran Porter's bass lines, singing harmony, working with Andrea Zonn, Luke Bulla, and The HercuLeons, and the gratitude that comes from a life spent standing beside remarkable musicians.Key Takeaways • John reflects on the impact of New Grass Revival and how joining the band helped him discover his own voice. • He talks about the challenge of singing lead while playing bass, especially when the bass line is syncopated. • Paul McCartney, Duck Dunn, Leon Russell, Little Feat, Stevie Wonder, and Gregg Allman all shaped John's early musical world. • Playing bluegrass taught John the beauty and power of simplicity. • John describes Sam Bush as one of the greatest rhythmic forces in bluegrass music. • His role with The Doobie Brothers gives him the chance to honor Tiran Porter's melodic and highly musical bass parts. • John speaks openly about recovery, community, discipline, and the work of becoming a better person over time.Music from the Episode Georgia Rhythm - John CowanDevil Woman - John CowanHold to a Dream - New Grass RevivalYou Plant Your Fields - New Grass RevivalTake Me to the Alley - The HerculeonsI'm Just Not Ready - John Cowan About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams.

Reisen Reisen - Der Podcast mit Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz
60.000 Menschen singen im Olympiastadion, Jochen guckt aus dem Fenster auf zwei Pferde in der Wallonie. Diesmal reisen die beiden wegen der Kunst. Michi war bei den Foo Fighters in Berlin, dem größten Konzert der Band auf deutschem Boden, und Jochen erzählt von seinem Treffen mit Dave Grohl und dass Paul McCartney auch irgendwie dabei war. Dann geht's zum angesagtesten Museums-Besuch des Jahres ins Kölner Museum Ludwig zu Yayoi Kusama, der japanischen Künstlerin, die Reisende vielleicht von ihrem weltberühmten Kürbis auf der japanischen Insel Naoshima kennen. Und es wird auch mal unbequem, wenn Michi die Schattenseiten der laufenden Fußball-WM thematisiert - verbunden mit einem Podcast-Tipp. Am Ende bleibt eine Weekender Card und eine Frage, deren Antwort persönlicher wird als gedacht: allein reisen oder zu zweit?—Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.Mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es bei Instagram.Abboniere unseren Newsletter unter https://www.reisenreisen.info/p/newsletterFoto-Credit: Thomas Rabsch Instagram—MUSIKFoo Fighters — US-Rockband um Dave Grohl (früher Schlagzeuger bei Nirvana); ihr Berliner Olympiastadion-Konzert 2026 war ihr bislang größtes Konzert auf deutschem Boden.

Patrick explores the enduring influence of Paul McCartney, reflecting on his Catholic background and the possibility of spiritual renewal as he marks his 84th birthday, then turns sharply to the upheaval sparked by the Society of St. Pius X preparing to ordain bishops against papal authority. Questions of obedience, tradition, and discord within Catholicism surface rapidly, paired with practical advice for those eager to learn apologetics, defend the faith, and understand scripture, Marian beliefs, and the Eucharist. From commentary on cultural icons to heated debate about schism and church unity, Patrick blends concern, encouragement, and a persistent appeal for deeper knowledge. Michele (email) - I hear that there are some Muslims who have converted to Catholicism or at least Christianity. Is it possible to find these converts and have them on your show? (04:25) Ana (email) - Some of us are confused about Pope Leo warning of the ordination of bishops in the Society of Pius X. Why is there a group of bishops doing this? What is the purpose or objective of this society? Why don't these bishops follow the usual, formal route of Catholic bishops? (07:45) Noel - Pope Benedict lifted the Excommunications of SSPX. Liberal Catholic Churches are more in schism than the SSPX. (22:45) Luis (email) - What Catholic apologetics resources and study advice would you recommend for a father and his 13-year-old daughter who is rapidly diving into the Catechism to defend the faith? (38:56) Cheryl (email) - 1. When reading scripture, I almost always want to know what it really means - the context, and so on. Do you have an online commentary to recommend? 2. A dear friend is 60, and was Catholic until about 15 years ago. Now she attends a Covenant church more often than not. There are three things the Church believes that she finds barriers to her being Catholic - and she'd like to more fully understand the Church's stand: 1 Mary being sinless and 2 the Eucharist being not just a symbol, and if it is really Jesus, why is it only through a Catholic priest that that can be achieved. Along with this, she feels like praying to the Blessed Sacrament is a form of idolatry. (46:55) (Originally Aired on 06/18/2026)
This week I'm answering one of the questions I get asked most: how do you actually balance work, motherhood, ambition, and everything in between? The honest answer is... I'm still figuring it out.I share why I've been feeling disconnected lately, my complicated relationship with networking, and the unexpected loneliness that can come with building a career while raising a family. I also open up about taking Carmela to an incredible five-day therapy intensive, the progress we saw, and why it left me feeling more hopeful than I have in a long time.Plus, I finally recap one of the greatest nights of my life: watching Saturday Night Live from inside Studio 8H, seeing Will Ferrell host, Paul McCartney surprise the audience, and witnessing a behind-the-scenes moment I'll never forget.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
