About this podcast

The Long Drive Home is a Podcast about the many ways in which a gig can go wrong, presented by Alpha Male Tea Party (Greg, Tom and Ben). Being in a band is really cool and fun, right? Well, yeah, it is. But it's also absolutely crushing some times and we want to explore that because through tears and horror, there is laughter.
