Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dawg Jam: Randy Jackson
Q: How did you realize that you had the bandwidth and the overall sensibility to become a label executive and a manager or producer?
I never really thought I ever wanted to do that. In fact, I hated most A&R people.
Dawg Jam: Randy Jackson
Q: Tell me, how long was that run?
That was the culmination of a tour that I did with Billy.
Dawg Jam: Randy Jackson
Q: Was bass your first instrument? At what point were you inspired?
I first started playing drums, then I had a bass player in the band that could make it one day. I thought, if I could really learn to play the bass, we could join my brother.
Dawg Jam: Randy Jackson
Q: How did you come up with the word The Jam?
We wanted to cut it back to the studs and just really talk about some of these untold stories and really just dig in the minds and find some of these anecdotes.
Fusion Jam: Billy Cobham
Q: What do you want people to remember about Billy Cobham?
