    John has a great voice for radio. Trying to listen to Jerry gets hard at times but great topics and guests and stories. A good podcast about the industry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Guest - Don Felder
Q: Do you think music is kind of losing its soul or losing its personality with all the new AI technology coming in?
I think it loses its soul when you do that too much. It doesn't sound human. It doesn't sound emotional. It sounds perfect, but it just doesn't have the emotion to me.
Special Guest - Don Felder
Q: Did you learn anything different about yourself? Is there anything different about your music from this hard charging, young rock and roll star to now still the rock and roll star, but the iconic legend?
I just have loved writing music, recording music, so I have a studio. I love walking in. No idea what I'm going to do. Just turn out in the studio, pick up a guitar, push record, and play and see what comes out.
Special Guest - Wang Chung Legendary Musician Jack Hues
Q: Do you still enjoy performing as much as in the 80s?
Definitely, it's still a thrill and now there's a sense of gratitude in the performances.
Special Guest - Wang Chung Legendary Musician Jack Hues
Q: Jack, can you tell us about your album?
The album encompasses a retrospective look at my career, showcasing hits and rare tracks.
Special Guest - Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner
Q: Did you feel that you had an obligation as a public figure to address this, or did you feel like you had an obligation just to be an entertainer?
Mark felt a responsibility to be careful with what he says, reflecting on the influence of public figures like The Beatles.
