  • Enjoyable Conversation

    Enjoying this podcast. I was fortunate enough to see Vince Gill at a small Venue in my hometown a few years ago. The venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! What an honor it was to see him. It left a lasting memory for my husband and I. Thank you Vince!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Danny Meyer, Restaurateur & Best Selling Author of "What Could Possibly Go Right?"
Q: What is the 80-20 rule?
Meyer says 80 percent of a Shake Shack's design and menu remains consistent, while 20 percent can be customized to reflect its location and community.
Danny Meyer, Restaurateur & Best Selling Author of "What Could Possibly Go Right?"
Q: How long did it take for Shake Shack to become a very good news story?
Meyer says it became popular almost immediately, despite the frozen custard machine breaking on opening day. The idea began as a hot dog stand tied to a park art installation and developed into a permanent kiosk after people asked for it to return.
Bernie Taupin, Part 2! Plus Kate Hudson asks Cameron Crowe an "Almost Famous" Question!
Q: What is the hardest song to get for one of your films and how did you manage to secure it?
Crowe explains the arduous process of licensing, recounting the pushing and pleading required to obtain rights for songs like The Wind and My Shariah Moore, with the realization that persistence, personal outreach, and official endorsements (e.g., Spielberg) played pivotal roles in unlocking access for Almost Famous.
Bernie Taupin! Part 1: Hello Yellow Brick Road!
Q: What role did collaboration with Elton John play in shaping your music?
Taupin discusses their complementary dynamic, the balance between lyrics and melody, and how the partnership allowed him to tell stories that resonated across genres, rather than simply producing hits.
Bernie Taupin! Part 1: Hello Yellow Brick Road!
Q: How did you come to pursue lyric writing and what motivated you to write the way you do?
Taupin explains his early inspiration from narrative country and blues storytelling, and how he gravitated toward writing stories with lyrics to accompany melodies, rather than pursuing traditional pop hooks.
