Podcasts about Rock and roll

Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul, and one of the most remarkable singers of the 20th century. At various points in her life she sang gospel, jazz, blues, R&B, pop, rock and roll, folk, Broadway, and even opera classics. She also managed to sustain her career for six decades. It's hard for anyone to compete with that. This episode contains very short clips of two of Aretha's songs. I believe these to be fair use because they are very short and this episode is for education. If that is not the case, the copyright holders may contact me and I will remove them.

What if you woke up one day as a rock star—but couldn't play guitar? Author Charles Harvey joins Booked On Rock to discuss his novel Xylene X Band: A Fictionalized Chapter in the History of X Band, a story that mixes rock and roll, identity, ambition, relationships, and the pressures that come with success. The novel follows brilliant but troubled guitarist Joe Ecks, whose life takes an extraordinary turn when he wakes up believing he is Mike Smith—a Harvard graduate who knows nothing about being a rock star and, most importantly, doesn't know how to play guitar.Charles reveals how a recurring nightmare about being handed a guitar and told to go onstage inspired the original story. We also explore one of the book's central ideas: being good at something doesn't necessarily mean you'll be happy doing it. Along the way, we discuss the psychology of Joe and Mike, the effect the transformation has on Joe's wife Angie and the members of X Band, creativity versus technical talent, the darker side of the music business, ambition, success, and what happens when the career everyone thinks you should want becomes the very thing making you miserable.It's a rock-and-roll story with a Twilight Zone-style premise, but underneath it is a question almost anyone can relate to: Are you living the life that actually makes you happy—or simply the life you're good at?Purchase a copy of Xylene X Band: A Fictionalized Chapter in the History of X BandVisit the Xylene X Band Website----------

Here's a Thought… #2732 with Brooks Jensen Time to Get Off the Stage I'm a baby boomer. My generation invented rock and roll music. I'm vicariously proud of that. I must admit, however, that it is time that some of my favorites need to get of the stage and enjoy their retirement. The fires of creativity still burn, but the remaining embers are a dim glow, and an off-key one at that. I wonder if we photographers need to take an honest look at ourselves, too? There is a time to retire our cameras, but will we recognize it when it's our turn? Become a member of LensWork Online and have access to all 2700+ Here's a Thought… commentaries.

Tommy Stinson is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Tommy is a rock and roll hero of mine, and I was thrilled to have him on the podcast. We talked about Sly & The Family Stone's “It's a Family Affair,” old Minneapolis clubs The Nacirema and Duffy's, loving Minneapolis band The Suburbs, starting on stand-up bass, what he learned from his time in Guns N' Roses and whether he remembers anything from the show at 7th Street Entry where I first saw the Replacements. Was a thrill to have Tommy here, listen and subscribe!

Loudwire September digital cover story interview with Mastodon's core members, diving into all the circumstances around the new album 'Marrow Deep.'

It was Sept. 4, 1964 that the Beatles appeared at the Milwaukee Arena. If you're a Beatles fan, chances are you've read-or at least heard of-one of the finest books ever written about the Fab Four: "The Beatles Forever." Long before the internet and endless documentaries, one author stood out for his meticulous research, engaging storytelling, and deep appreciation of the music that changed the world. That author was Nicholas Schaffner. Nick wasn't just a writer, he was a passionate music historian whose work also explored Pink Floyd, the British Invasion and the remarkable artists who reshaped popular music. "The Beatles Forever" is still regarded as one of the definitive books on the Beatles. Today, we'll celebrate the Beatles visit to Milwaukee and explore why this book continues to influence fans, writers, and historians decades later. So, whether you've collected Beatles records for years, or just beginning your journey into the greatest story in rock and roll, you're in for an interesting conversation.

 Dolly Parton was last on the show back in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and we talked on the phone about her Christmas traditions, her childhood in East Tennessee, and her incredible work getting millions of kids to read through the Imagination Library. This time I got to sit down with her in person at her studio outside of Nashville, and she hasn't slowed down one bit. She told me all about her latest album, Rockstar, which features 30 rock and roll classics, from covers like Prince's “Purple Rain” and Bob Seger's “Night Moves,” to some powerful new Dolly Parton originals. She's also just released a new book called Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, which documents more than six decades of outfits, costumes, and iconic looks from a career in the spotlight.

Tai Anderson is the bassist of the iconic Grammy Award winning Christian rock band Third Day.He is also an entrepreneur, a speaker, and the author of a brand new book called Market Like a Rockstar.This conversation was one of my favorites we have done on this show.Tai's music journey began with a youth pastor who could have pushed him away from rock and roll but instead said come play in the youth group. That one invitation changed everything.We talked about the early days of Third Day, the pressure they felt to cross over into the mainstream and why they said no, and the story behind Offerings, the album the label did not want to release that ended up being their best seller.We also got into Tai's ROCKSTAR marketing framework and what it looks like for independent artists and worship leaders who are trying to build something real without a massive platform behind them.This one is for anyone who feels called to more than one thing in music.Get the Market Like a Rockstar for FREE Purchase Market Like a RockstarLeave an Amazon reviewTake the Whats Your Lane?

Billboard Magazine -. Frm Tokyo Bureau Chief, At the 16, Elise Krentzel became a Journalist & at 19, she was the youngest journalist on the KISS  Japan Tour.Rest in Power Ace!!Her Book "Under My Skin Trauma, Drama, and Rock n Roll" is the FIRST in a Trilogy.We're Ready to Really ROCK n Roll!!."Elise Says""It takes courage to step out and write your truth, own it and forgive it. Neglect and abandonment, physical, emotional, and verbal abuse, narcissistic parents and a host of malcontents to add flavor and color to the toxic mix that was my childhood.Yet light always shines through, right? I channeled my talents, hopes and ambition into writing about music and became a rock journalist as a teenager. I toured with Kiss on a press junket at 19 in Japan. That was just the beginning!Please CELEBRATE with me today! My book is now available and I'm dancing around my apartment with a bottle of bubbly. Get your rock ‘n' roll on!"Elise Krentzel's fast paced memoir, Under My Skin has earned #1 new release in these categories: Biographies of Rock Bands, Music Business, Rock, Composers & Musicians, and Jewish life. She shares how she took charge of the tumultuous 1970s by making a name for herself as a rock journalist when still a teenager. As a kid, she was encouraged by her parents to sing, play music, and write, but she wasn't allowed to be “herself.” Alienated, she hid her heart and learned to become a stranger in her own skin as the torment of early childhood taught her to mistrust everyone, especially herself.She's a multiglot: author, ghostwriter, mentor, public speaker, and communications entrepreneur who has lived in five countries for over twenty-five years. Starting in Japan from 1977 to 1984, she owned a talent and booking agency, introduced punk rock, was a DJ and, music journalist. As Tokyo Bureau Chief for Billboard Magazine, Elise introduced the Sony Walkman and Laserdisc technology to a western audience during her stint.© 2026  All Rights Reserved© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Todd Kerns joins RadioBypass for an in-depth conversation covering Triumph, Toque, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Minefield, Heroes & Monsters, Black Sonic Pearls, and an incredible Rock and Roll life!This conversation has been a couple of years in the making. Mutual friend Mitch Perry first introduced Todd and RadioBypass host Ralph Rasmussen, and Todd and Ralph talked then about getting together for a RadioBypass interview. It took a little longer than planned—but considering everything happening in Todd's musical world right now, the timing couldn't have been much better.One of the biggest topics is Triumph.Todd takes us inside his experience joining Rik Emmett and Gil Moore for the Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded Tour, something he describes as among the most surreal experiences of his career. Growing up in Canada with Triumph's music in his DNA makes being part of the band's return especially meaningful.Todd talks about stepping into the role originally held by Mike Levine while still bringing his own personality to the stage, working alongside Phil X and Brent Fitz, recreating those classic Triumph songs live, and the unforgettable moment when Rik Emmett asked him to sing “Fight the Good Fight.”With a second leg of the Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded Tour announced, Todd also discusses what might change when the band heads back out and some of the Triumph music he'd love to tackle. We also dive into Toque, Todd's celebration of Canadian Rock and Roll with longtime musical partner Brent Fitz. Todd tells us how the band began, what Canadian rock means to him, and the story behind “Fighters,” which RadioBypass named one of our Top 11 Singles of 2025.Todd shares the meaning behind “Fighters,” the unexpected hockey story that inspired one of its lyrics, and what's happening now with Toque—including their brand-new single “This Isn't Over.”The conversation also takes us through Minefield, Heroes & Monsters, Blackbird Angels, Todd's collaborations with Black Sonic Pearls, the changing music business, why being a frontman has helped him become a better sideman, and why saying “yes” has played such an important role throughout his career.And before we wrap up, Todd gives us some exciting news about Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators:The next SMKC album is coming in 2027Todd says a new single should arrive before the end of 2026And the band plans to embark on a world tour in 2027Then we do what RadioBypass does best—turn up the music!Toque – FightersOne of the RadioBypass Top 11 Singles of 2025Toque – This Isn't OverThe brand-new Toque single, personally selected by Todd Kerns for RadioBypass.There was still plenty left to talk about when we reached the end—and Todd himself suggested a “Part Two.”We think that's a pretty good idea!Turn it up and enjoy our conversation with Todd Kerns!RadioBypass – celebrating rock past, present and future... delivering Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard!

Welcome to Episode 434 of RadioBypass!This week we're bringing you another hour of Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard, with brand-new music from Lee Richards and Friends, Wildfire, Flotsam and Jetsam, Phil Soussan, Night Ranger, Cactus, Angel Down, Wicked, and Christian Love!We kick things off with Triumph's "Ordinary Man" before turning things over to Todd Kerns on lead vocals and bass with Heroes And Monsters and "Locked and Loaded." There's a reason we're starting there — tomorrow on RadioBypass, we'll be releasing our brand-new interview with Todd Kerns! Todd joins us for a great conversation about his career, the music he's making today, and his connection to Triumph and the Rock & Roll Machine tour.We also take some time to remember the legendary Dolly Parton. Although the world knew Dolly primarily as a country music icon, her music, personality, songwriting, and influence transcended genres. When she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly famously questioned whether she belonged there — and then decided to make a Rock and Roll album!We'll hear Dolly talk about that journey before cranking up "Bygones" from her 2023 album Rockstar, an original Dolly composition featuring Nikki Sixx and John 5 of Mötley Crüe along with Rob Halford of Judas Priest.From there, we get right back to the mission of RadioBypass with new Rock and Roll music from Lee Richards and Friends, Wildfire, Flotsam and Jetsam, Phil Soussan, Night Ranger, Cactus, Angel Down, Wicked, and Christian Love, plus King Kobra!Turn it up and discover some Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard!RadioBypass Episode 434 Song ListTriumph – Ordinary ManHeroes And Monsters – Locked and LoadedDolly Parton – BygonesLee Richards and Friends – FaithlessWildfire – Sweet SensationFlotsam and Jetsam – The Edge Of NowherePhil Soussan – Fading OutNight Ranger – Wasted TimeCactus – Tail DraggerKing Kobra – Turn Up The Good TimesAngel Down – HookedWicked – BonesChristian Love – Hold Me Again

What does it actually mean to lead with extreme commitment—and to follow through on your word, every single time? In this episode, Will sits down with Steve Farber, founder and CEO of The Extreme Leadership Institute, bestselling author, and one of the most respected voices in leadership development today.Steve's team has helped more than 25 companies earn spots on Best Places to Work lists, and his ideas have shaped leadership conversations far beyond the boardroom. He's the author of six acclaimed leadership books, starting with The Radical Leap, which won Fast Company's Readers' Choice Award and was named one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. His book Greater Than Yourself debuted as a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller, and Love Is Just Damn Good Business has been featured everywhere from Wharton Radio to the World Economic Forum. He even teamed up with Twisted Sister's Jay Jay French to write Twisted Business, pulling leadership lessons straight from a career in rock and roll.This conversation comes at a perfect moment—Steve's newest book, The Radical Promise: Mastering the Art of Doing What You Say You Will Do, co-written with leadership legends Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, launches the very day this episode is being recorded. Will and Rick dig into what it takes to build a culture of real accountability, why "doing what you say" is harder—and more radical—than it sounds, and how love and leadership intersect in ways most business books never touch.You can get Steve's book the Radical Promise here: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Promise-Mastering-Doing-What-ebook/dp/B0HF4T8DPS/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_author_smart_catalog_unrecognized_0?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=MtBjT&content-id=amzn1.sym.47218010-ccda-4098-a91e-bc39e6d446f4&pf_rd_p=47218010-ccda-4098-a91e-bc39e6d446f4&pf_rd_r=133-2963950-0619343&pd_rd_wg=7Tc5H&pd_rd_r=a368e788-2454-4548-ad09-d063b282ef87Get your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog

On this episode, Bec has been hard at work compiling information, sources and versions of songs in order to tell the history behind one of her all-time favorite Elvis songs: "What Now My Love." Originally written by French musician Gilbert Bécaud and lyricist Pierre Delanoë, "Et Maintenant" became beloved around the world both in its original language, and with its localized English lyrics by Carl Sigman. With research assistance from friend of the show Helene de Roux, Bec explores what nuances are lost in translation and what strengths are found in Elvis' interpretation to match the power and passion of Bécaud's original performance, as well as numerous other versions by artists across a multitude of genres and backgrounds. But before that incredible story, Justin and Bec also discuss the latest Elvis news hot off Elvis Week, with EPE's announced hologram show in Vegas, rock critic Dave Marsh's passing, and upcoming FTDs. Sadly, this episode was recorded JUST before the news broke about Shelley Fabares' passing, as well as Dolly Parton, so those will be addressed in the next episode. Plus, in his Song of the Week, Justin makes the case that 1970's "Cindy, Cindy," once relegated to the 1971 "Love Letters from Elvis" album has been overlooked as one of the finest, purest rock and roll recordings of Elvis' 70s era, with that song's history easily showcasing the interplay between black gospel and hillbilly folk music in the South that provided the musical blueprint for rock and roll. If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast. Your support allows us to continue to provide thoughtful, provocative, challenging and well-researched perspectives on Elvis's career, his peers and influences, and his cultural impact and legacy.

Episode #597: Victor Chan's life began not with a spiritual calling but with motion. Born in Hong Kong and trained in physics, he left without a fixed destination and spent the early 1970s moving across Europe and Asia along the hippie trail. “I was into sex, rock and roll and hedonism,” he says. Yet through a chance encounter in Kabul, he was introduced within a single year to three figures who would stay with him: the Dalai Lama in India, Mahasi Sayadaw in Rangoon, and Chögyam Trungpa in Colorado. Of the three, Mahasi Sayadaw left the deepest mark. Chan found formal meditation nearly unbearable, but Mahasi's presence stayed with him for decades. The Dalai Lama made a very different first impression: when Chan arrived in Dharamsala in 1972, road-worn, unwashed, and dressed like a wandering hippie, the future Nobel laureate could barely suppress his laughter. Later, Tibet itself became Chan's great field of movement. Entering during a brief window of looser restrictions in the early 1980s, he walked far beyond the usual routes, reaching monasteries, pilgrimage circuits, and remote artistic sites that had survived the Cultural Revolution. What drove him was not money or institutional backing, but compulsion, curiosity, and a nomadic instinct he still cannot fully explain. That work led to the Tibet Handbook, a vast guide documenting places, histories, and routes that were almost unknown to outsiders. It also brought him into the orbit of scholars like Michael Aris and, through those circles, into early contact with Aung San Suu Kyi, long before her political emergence. In later years, Chan's attention shifted toward another kind of movement: conversation. Through public events and intimate dinners, he came to value not instruction or mastery, but the exchange itself—an active, searching encounter between people, ideas, and worlds, forged in travel, risk, attention, and lifelong restlessness.

Good Morning, Vietnam is entertaining. But art, in this case, is a thin imitation of real life. For six months in 1967, John Bagwell was an Armed Forces Vietnam Network disc jockey, playing rock and roll to the First Cavalry Division out of a bunker in An Khe. He'll tell you it was the best job in Vietnam — until it wasn't. This 104-pound deejay came home with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with a V for valor.

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.

“Those moments are teachable, not only for others but for ourselves.” Sex. Drugs. Rock and roll. Yep, we're going there. Well, sort of. In this episode of A Couple Takes on MS, we're talking about three recent experiences that reminded us how living with Multiple Sclerosis can turn everyday moments into opportunities to advocate, adapt, learn, and sometimes laugh. Join us as we take on: Sex, disability, and assumptions — Why the way healthcare providers ask personal questions matters, and how one appointment became an unexpected teachable moment. The power of language — Why “wheelchair bound” doesn't describe Jennifer's reality and how her wheelchair represents mobility, freedom, and independence. Drugs, insurance, and self-advocacy — Dan's experience finding another way to access a medication his insurance wouldn't cover and why it pays to ask about your options. Staying informed about your care — How conversations with healthcare providers and the MS community can help us continue learning about medications, treatments, and their long-term effects. When accessibility doesn't go according to plan — How our concert seating mistake, some wonderful Pine Knob staff, and a little patience helped turn potential frustration into an unforgettable night of rock and roll. Yes, sex, drugs, and rock and roll sparked this conversation, but the real lesson is something we continue learning again and again while living with MS: keep asking questions, keep advocating for yourself, and leave a little room for grace along the way. From the ACTOMS blog Want the full story behind the “rock and roll” part of this episode? Jennifer shares how a ticketing mistake, some incredible people, and a little patience turned an accessibility challenge at Pine Knob Music Theatre into one of our favorite concert experiences.

On Tuesday, August 25th, American country musician, philanthropist, and icon Dolly Parton died at the age of 80 in Nashville, Tennessee.  Years before her death, she asked her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, to make a video announcing her passing. In the video posted to social media yesterday, he shared this exchange with his aunt:  “Dolly called me and said she wants to rest on a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life of wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable, and have some rest.”  In 2023, we celebrated the queen of rhinestone's achievements and music here on 1A. Please enjoy this replay of that show in honor of Dolly Parton's legacy. Here's what we wrote about that conversation at the time.– Dolly Parton's resume is as big as her hair. And at age 77 she's adding another title to it: “Rockstar.”Her new album was released on Nov. 17. It's a mix of covers of classic rock songs, featuring collaborations with a whopping list of who's who in Rock-n-Roll. And there are almost 30 tracks – give or take a few – depending on the version of the album that you buy. With 9 new singles, “Rockstar” is Dolly's most significant foray into Rock and Roll music.While Dolly has fully embraced a new “Rockstar” persona – down to the black studded outfits – glimmers of rockstar have existed in Dolly's previous eras. And over the past fifty years, Dolly has won plenty of awards and accolades for her songwriting, becoming one of music's most prolific songwriters.Sit back and grab yourself a cup of ambition. For this edition of the 1A Record Club – Dolly Parton's new album “Rockstar” and what her latest musical evolution represents.Find more of our programs online.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!SHOW SUMMARY:Date: August 26th, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS11: E5: Max Rios (Max Rios & The Waysiders) - Los Vatos Del Barrio)SHOW SUMMARY:A lot of artists talk about “being real,” but Max Rios has actually built his whole musical life around it, even when the easier move was to chase someone else's plan. We sit down face-to-face in the studio and follow the trail back to South Houston, Wayside Drive, and those formative years where rock and roll, Spanish-language records, and country radio all quietly wired themselves into his sound.Max breaks down how his Tex Americana style is really a lived blend of roots rock, Americana songwriting, country DNA, and Mexican-American influence, not a genre trend. We dig into the lost art of deep listening, why vinyl records and liner notes trained a generation to hear details, and how that kind of attention shows up in songs like “Record Store Days.” If you've ever missed the feeling of getting lost in an album, this conversation will hit hard in the best way.We also get practical about craft and career: how Max writes when inspiration strikes instead of on a schedule, how he knows when a song is “done,” and why space in an arrangement can say more than another overdub. He performs “Angelina” and shares the story behind it, connecting grief, memory, and songwriting in a way that changes how you hear the track. Plus, we talk band realities, solo gigs, redefining success with age, and what to expect from his upcoming full-length release, Two Sides to a Story.If you enjoy songwriter interviews, Americana and Tex-Mex textures, and honest talk about making music in today's industry, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

Before stadium tours, platinum albums and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognition, John Kay was simply a young refugee searching for a better life. Music became his escape, his identity and ultimately the vehicle that carried him from the hardships of post-war Europe to the front of one of the most influential rock bands of all time.In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, host Sandy Kaye welcomes the legendary singer, songwriter and founding member of Steppenwolf for a deeply personal conversation about the remarkable life behind one of rock's most recognisable voices.Born in East Prussia during the closing months of World War II, John spent his earliest years amid conflict and uncertainty. His family fled advancing Soviet forces before eventually escaping communist East Germany and building a new life in Canada. Those formative experiences shaped his resilience, independence and determination long before music entered the picture.John recalls discovering rock and roll as a teenager and finding inspiration in the blues, folk and early rock artists who would influence his own distinctive style. He shares how those early musical ambitions led to the formation of Steppenwolf in Los Angeles, where the band quickly became one of the defining acts of the late 1960s with its raw sound, powerful songwriting and unforgettable performances.The conversation explores the creation of timeless classics including "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me," "The Pusher" and "Monster," songs that helped shape the soundtrack of a generation. John reflects on how "Born to Be Wild" became forever linked with the landmark film Easy Rider, transforming it into a global anthem of freedom, adventure and rebellion. He also explains how the famous lyric "heavy metal thunder" unexpectedly became part of rock music history, helping to popularise a phrase that would define an entire genre.Beyond the music, John offers thoughtful insights into songwriting, creativity and the realities of life in one of the world's biggest rock bands. He discusses the pressures of fame, the changing music industry and why staying true to his artistic principles has always been more important than chasing commercial success.John also speaks passionately about his lifelong commitment to wildlife conservation and environmental causes, revealing another side of the man behind the music. His dedication to protecting the natural world has remained just as important as his musical legacy, demonstrating that his influence extends well beyond the recording studio and concert stage.This conversation is more than a look back at Steppenwolf's extraordinary career. It's the story of perseverance, reinvention and the enduring power of music to transcend borders, generations and cultures. Whether you've been a fan since the 1960s or you're discovering Steppenwolf for the first time, John's remarkable journey is every bit as compelling as the songs that made him famous.If you enjoy hearing the stories behind the artists who created the soundtrack of our lives, subscribe to A Breath of Fresh Air for more in-depth conversations with the legendary musicians who continue to inspire audiences around the world.

The Damned were at the forefront of British punk - a party band providing dark comedic relief to a scene often fueled by inner rage. But two years in and they were done - burned out and looking to do something else. So The Damned broke up - for like a minute. With names like 'Rat Scabies' and 'Captain Sensible' what else could they do but rock and roll? Nothing. The re-energized band reformed in 1979, dropped Machine Gun Etiquette and never stopped knockin' socks off. Absolute classic.

This week: nostalgia for Moviefone and Rob Brezny's Dial-a-Horoscope, the Jungian idea that your unconscious is trying to help you, and the one Timothy Leary quote Ben has actually carried with him his whole life — "the goal of life is calm and compassionate gameplay."We saw Greg Araki's new film with Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman (co-written by Slutever's Karly Scortino) — a genuinely sexy movie that also makes you think, which is rarer than it should be. Plus: bumping into Peking Duk outside the Ritz in Randwick on the night their album went to #1 in Australia, ARIA plaques and all. (Randwick: possibly the least rock and roll suburb in Sydney.)A full Australian Traitors deep dive — how secretly Machiavellian Australians are, Dicko's voting block strategy, and the question the show keeps raising: is emotional gameplay still manipulation if the emotion is real?We saw the Bondi Boys at Hollywood Hotel (neon mic stand, expanded set, Gen X energy), Ben smells beer and thinks about his entire touring life, Ione smells Carmex and thinks about Paris 1987, and we're making a fanzine with Kate Dunn (@moonfurhat on Instagram) as merch for the Australia and Japan tour.We end with a challenge: Ione proves she's a better liar than Ben by closing the podcast with a lie. We'll let you decide if she pulled it off.

The discussion opens with a humorous introduction about a ‘Rock and Roll Butler’ and quickly transitions into the setting of the recording on a Monday evening. The host shares personal experiences, including a late arrival after a tiring event, and the casual atmosphere of enjoying beers with friends. Plans for lobster hunting kick off the adventure, leading to a successful day on the water, despite a minor mishap on a sandbar. The beautiful weather adds to the charm of the trip. music  by Anthrax TV Thanks to Joe Pawlak for the $250 Penske Truck Donation! Thanks to Tim Schall for the $100 Dog Days Donation!

Jeff Lynne = Electric Light Orchestra, right?  That's his legacy.  That's what is front and center.  I argue that his career as an album producer for other rock and roll artists is equally important and enduring. And I think ELO is great and a lot more groundbreaking in making a unique kind of rock music, overshadowed by the sheer heft and sweetness of a big bag of hits. So in this episode, we rewind to the rockers he produced; the albums that had just enough - or sometimes tad too much -  of his sound and vibe to become key moments for the careers for the singers and bands he worked with. Petty. Orbison. A few surprises.  Plus, Lynne's own solo records - he made those too, after ELO had slowed down. A couple are forgotten little gems.   Listened to as a whole, it's a producer and artist catalog filled with a bunch of rock and roll that is airy, thumping, and hooky.  And we have some thoughts. Turn these up and hear the acoustic guitar drive, the orchestration, and snapping drums that, in contrast to the Phil Collins/Mutt Lange reverb-drenched, gated snares of the decade, are nearly always recorded really dry.   Back to 1971 and all the way through the 2010s, Lynne made some great and some just OK albums. A bunch of the records in which we hear echoes of both his influences and the albums he made himself.

I ended last week’s new release episode with a good dozen or so songs I did not find time to air. How could I handle that? That’s not enough new tunes for a third show of new tunes? Should I just keep them in storage for the September series? But then I remembered that today (8/21/26) was a momentous day for rock and roll. It’s the day that Gravest Graves by The Cramps was coming out. For those living under a rock, here’s the short story. After Lux Interior died in 2009, his partner Poison Ivy became a complete recluse. Reportedly, she didn’t even open the mail containing the royalties from the inclusion of “Goo Goo Muck” in the Netflix show Wednesday. At some point, In the Red Records head honcho Larry Hardy was visiting Ivy, and was stunned to find boxes and boxes of studio reels in her garage. He contacted Henry Rollins, who dropped everything to head across the country to bring them back to proper storage in Nashville. There they discovered reels and reels of recordings from the 1977 sessions with Alex Chilton that resulted in their first couple of singles. Now this material has been released, […]

We're getting dangerously sincere on today's funny podcast, because former Rizzuto Show intern Courtney Diamond — better known around these parts as Eight Ball — is back in the studio before closing one enormous chapter of her life.Courtney's TaylorMade tribute to Taylor Swift is performing its final show at Delmar Hall, ending a run that grew far beyond where it started. Over the course of TaylorMade, Courtney and the band performed 45 shows across 28 cities, taking the production from its first nervous night at The Wildey Theatre to venues and audiences around the country.Courtney explains that there wasn't one giant dramatic reason. Sometimes you just know when it's time. More importantly, she wanted TaylorMade to end while everyone involved still loved doing it. Apparently “leave while you still enjoy each other” is an option. Somebody should tell every band that has announced a fourth farewell tour.She remembers the pressure surrounding TaylorMade's first performance and the moment she heard the crowd erupt before she even walked onstage. What started with nerves turned into something much bigger, especially for the young Taylor Swift fans who came dressed for the occasion—and the dads sitting off to the side pretending they absolutely weren't getting into it.Naturally, Rizz and Rafe immediately improve Courtney's carefully planned final show by pitching an ending involving Rafe dressed as Travis Kelce carrying her offstage.Things then get suspiciously heartfelt when Rizz asks Courtney how working at The Rizzuto Show affected her life. She credits her time in radio with making her tougher and talks about learning from Moon, Jeff and Lern before revealing something that nearly destroys the entire sarcastic ecosystem of the program: Rizz taught her something genuinely meaningful.Courtney remembers Rizz thanking her for her work at the end of the day when she was an intern and says the experience taught her that no matter how successful you become, you should still treat people well.Everybody quickly makes jokes before Rizz experiences a recognizable human emotion.Thank God.Then we get into the contradiction that makes Courtney's Taylor Swift obsession even better: she's a die-hard '80s hair-metal fan with a Def Leppard tattoo who generally doesn't care for modern pop music.Courtney explains why Swift's songwriting broke through her rock-and-roll defenses, particularly the storytelling and honesty in her lyrics. That inevitably launches the crew into another debate surrounding the business empire attached to Taylor Swift.Variants. Exclusives. Merch drops. Swifties monitoring website changes like NORAD watching the sky.Courtney understands the criticism surrounding the relentless merchandising while also making a fairly important point: nobody is physically forcing you to buy the fifteenth version of an album. Being a Swiftie apparently requires both emotional stamina and a functioning household budget.The funny podcast then dives headfirst into parasocial fandom following the massive attention surrounding Taylor Swift's wedding. Courtney gives her perspective as an actual hardcore fan, including her surprise over aspects of the guest list and the sheer spectacle surrounding the event.Rizz, meanwhile, remains fascinated by fans who drove enormous distances just to stand outside.One mother drove 12 hours from Indianapolis with her daughter to be near the celebration despite having no actual access to the wedding. In extreme heat. After getting the kid out of bed at 2:00 in the morning.Rizz has some thoughts.Courtney admits she understands a little bit of celebrity tourism. Her own honeymoon included visiting Def Leppard-related locations around Sheffield and convincing her extremely patient husband to drive around a village on the off chance they happened to spot bassist Rick Savage.Finally, the conversation returns to the reason Courtney is there—the final TaylorMade show. She explains why knowing the ending was coming gave her time to appreciate the last year, how bittersweet the final performance feels, and why she's both excited and devastated to say goodbye.It's an episode about knowing when to close a chapter, appreciating what you built, fandom getting completely out of control and discovering that underneath all the sarcasm, The Rizzuto Show might actually care about each other.Disgusting.Just the kind of emotional damage you expect from your favorite funny podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apparently Gen X isn't going to enough concerts, so today we're solving the live music industry one folding chair and bottle of ibuprofen at a time.Episode 112 kicks off with a concert promoter asking what it would take to get Gen X back out to shows. The answers? Bring back physical tickets. Give us cleaner bathrooms. Stop making everything cost approximately one kidney. Fine bands for showing up late. And while we're making demands, how about concerts that start at 3 p.m. and wrap by 6 so everybody can be home, showered and questioning their life choices before the evening news?Welcome to the future of rock and roll: chairs.The crew gets into the bigger problem facing live music right now, from third-party ticket sellers and ridiculous resale prices to mid-level artists trying to survive while fans blow their entire entertainment budget on one or two giant shows. Rafe even pitches a concert subscription model where fans could pick shows from different tiers. Honestly, this comedy podcast may have accidentally stumbled into a legitimate business idea, which is deeply concerning.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with enough music news to make everyone forget we were complaining about concerts five minutes earlier. Foo Fighters are stepping in to open for AC/DC in St. Louis, which leads to the very important question of how long the Foo Fighters actually get to play when they're technically the opener. There's also an update on Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and his continued battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.From there, we enter one of our favorite genres of entertainment: successful musicians arguing with each other on the Internet.The Jack White and Charley Crockett drama continues after Twin Temple was removed from dates on Crockett's tour. Jack White defended the band, Crockett fired back, White responded with a bizarre musical troll, and suddenly everybody is keeping track of who released more albums. Rafe likes Crockett's music but would also like everyone involved to calm down and simply make songs again.Naturally, the crew decides celebrity boxing may be the only mature solution.Then Demon Hunter enters the chat. The Christian metal band is suing over the KPop Demon Hunters name, arguing that the massive Netflix property and its live-event expansion could create confusion with their long-established band. Moon actually has history with that music scene, which means for approximately four minutes this show accidentally becomes informative.Don't worry. We recover.There's also new testimony surrounding the Tupac Shakur murder case, a conversation about Sons of Anarchy stars reuniting for a bizarre meta-series, and a trailer for Whale Fall that sends everyone directly into claustrophobic nightmare territory. The movie involves a scuba diver getting swallowed by an 80-foot sperm whale and trying to escape before his oxygen runs out.Lern's reaction to this horrifying premise? Maybe watching it will help her prepare in case she ever gets swallowed by a whale.That's preparedness you simply won't get from other podcasts.We wrap things up with Jason Statham's latest movie accidentally appearing online early, John Stamos apparently deciding clothes are optional, and a Robert Plant birthday celebration that turns into Zeppelin, solo Plant, giant '80s hair and the invention of the word “plantiness.”So yes, this comedy podcast begins with concert economics and ends with Robert Plant's plantiness. That feels about right.It's another morning of St. Louis comedy, music news, entertainment gossip, pop culture commentary and sarcastic humor from Rizzuto and the gang — the comedy podcast where no topic survives contact with the studio.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
