Thirty years later, we can still hear it: the roar of Atlanta’s 1996 Summer Olympics, the crowd noise bouncing off concrete, and the way the city felt like the center of the world. We kick things off with the fun parts p
Athens, Georgia can humble you fast: one minute you’re chasing a band you’ve never heard of, the next you’re packed into a legendary room watching the kind of guest appearance people talk about for years. We’re back from
Fireworks are loud, but the real Fourth of July time machine is a song you haven’t heard in years. We kick off our holiday special by talking Atlanta traditions like the Peachtree Road Race, then dive straight into the U
We bounce from a killer Cracker and Drivin N Cryin concert to a surreal moment where Heart’s “Barracuda” follows us through LaGuardia. The mailbag sparks stories about meeting listeners, debating concerts, and how the so
“Losing My Religion” has one of the most recognizable feels in modern rock, and a big part of that atmosphere lives in the strings. We’re joined by former Atlanta Symphony Orchestra violinist David Arenz, who played on R
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off hits 40 years, and somehow it still feels like the kind of perfect stolen day you can step into whenever you need it. We rewatch it with fresh ears, from Cameron’s quiet sadness to Jeanie’s rage
Paul McCartney got dragged for writing “silly love songs” and then turned the criticism into a No. 1 anthem. We start with that 1976 chart run, the irony baked into the lyrics, and the way one summertime hit can glue its
A band that lives in a hearse sounds like a gimmick until you hear the reasons it happened and the work it takes to keep it going. We’re joined in the studio by Shaun and Rachel from The Stifftones, a DIY touring duo tha
The fastest way to time-travel is to press play on a song you haven’t heard in years, then realize you still know every word. We pull up the Billboard Hot 100 from May 23, 1981 and take it for a spin, bouncing between cl
Top Gun turns 40, and we can’t talk about it without talking about the soundtrack that still punches through your speakers. From the first seconds of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” on the aircraft carrier, we trace how 80s
What happens when musicians stop trying to look cool and start trying to tell the truth? We continue our sit down with Slightly Famous Somebodies for a freewheeling ride through creativity, aging, and the weird influence
We’re joined in the studio by Jonathan Spencer, Laura Slade Wiggins, and Vaylor Trucks from Slightly Famous Somebodies, and the story starts with a simple ask: record one Kevn Kinney song as part of a living tribute. Tha
A record can be simple and still change the world, and the Ramones proved it in 1976. We’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Ramones’ self-titled debut album and pulling apart why those tight, fast songs still mat
A two-season black-and-white sitcom leaves a 60-year shadow, a band logo becomes more famous than the band name, and a random music reference boomerangs back into your week at the perfect moment. That’s the lane we love:
Athens, GA didn’t just produce great bands; it produced a whole value system. When Trent Allen from Dreams So Real joins us, we get into why Athens carried “artsy credibility,” why Atlanta bands sometimes got brushed off
One TV host with a stiff posture and a sharp instinct helped rewrite the map of American pop culture. We’re talking about The Ed Sullivan Show, the variety powerhouse that ran from 1948 to March 28, 1971 and acted like a
We’re coming to you from Cracker’s Campout, where the music is loud, the stories are better than any liner notes, and the distance between the crowd and the artists basically disappears. From the song-swap to the final-n
We hang with Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin and Johnny Hickman of Cracker in Athens, GA and trace how songs and scenes shape a life, from new releases to punk rock beginnings. Kevn opens up about writing “Mirror Mirror,”
The room lifted before the first chord. Athens came alive with a storyteller’s spark, a stripped-down trio threading classics and new cuts, and two supercharged nights honoring R.E.M.’s Life’s Rich Pageant that turned a
We sit down with May Pang to unpack John Lennon’s misnamed “Lost Weekend” and reveal a season of creative fire, repaired friendships, and family reconnection. May shares what really happened across those 18 months: the s
