Brian n Murdoch have a special chemistry and their enthusiasm, research and talent make for a fantastic podcast about TELLING ROCK N ROLL STORIES!

Two hosts explore the lore, legends, and behind-the-scenes drama of rock history with rigorous research and playful banter. Each episode stitches together biographies, key moments, and cultural context around famous bands, songs, and scenes, often weaving in archival anecdotes, business tensions, and the human personalities behind the music.
