  • Relatable!

    I knew I would love hearing all the crazy behind the scenes stories from my favorite bands. What I didn’t know was that the stories would also entail such thoughtfulness about how perseverance, drive, happenstance and creativity helped them get from one place to the next. I love hanging out with all of them! Listen to one episode and you’ll be hooked, and even if you’re not familiar with the guests I guarantee you will be soon.

  • Exclusive insight and loads of fun!!!!! I ♥️ TMEP

    “We were being original when that wasn’t a sin”

    Keller and Hoffman’s podcast is a space for geeks to geek, and truths to truth. With DEVO’s very own Jerry Casale, they discuss the paradigm shift from substance to style in the 1980s music world, the value of collaboration, and commercialization in art. Getting these sentimental and hilarious spinal tap stories & musings from the horse’s mouth is so special, and so worth the listen.

  • Loving this.

    So… I’ve been a professional musician for 30 years. About the only thing I’ve learned, is that regardless of your level of fame, we all have the same great stories. I’m loving the smart, honest, witty tack these two are taking. The musician’s life is certainly not for the faint of heart, but you’ll find a lot of heart in this series!
