Excellent podcast, on many levels, with original music and a great place for great stories
Do you remember hearing of a guy promoting a band that had the same name as a popular band but when fans came it was just him and his guitar and he wasn’t that good? I can’t seem to remember anything else but I believe it was in the uk? Possibly?!
I was excited to listen to this bc it’s on Exactly Right, the same network as MFM. But I cannot handle the “cool guy” cringy delivery of the stories. I wanted to love it, I really did. It’s trying too hard.
This is a really great show for any music obsessive. Jake is a great storyteller and brings so much flair and panache to the proceedings.
Listen now! You will be addicted I promise! Keep on rocking and keep the stories coming! Do recommend, will never stop listening!

A highly theatrical, narrative-driven show that blends music history with true-crime storytelling. Episodes are fully scripted and sound-designed, presenting deep dives into artists, eras, and mythologies while blending archival detail with dramatic reenactment.
