The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we have Jerry Casale on the show, a founding member of the legendary band DEVO. Devo were one of the foundations of the post-punk/new wave era with songs like "Uncontrollable Urge," “Girl U Want,” “Beautiful World,” and their biggest hit and early MTV staple, 1980’s “Whip It.” The formation of the band, however, was born from the tragic events of the shootings of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard in 1970, which Gerald witnessed first hand. Here, he tells us about that day and how that led to the formation of one of the biggest bands of the 80s.  Musical credits: "Dany PKL" by Blue Dot Sessions More about Gerald and his art and records can be found here.

This week, we’re shifting gears a bit with our guest Jane Savidge. Yes, there was a time when she was in a band called Kill Devil Hills, but ultimately she started a PR company called Savage & Best which promoted a slew of the biggest British bands of the 90s, including Suede, Pulp, Elastica, and so many others. There’s even a legend that Jane coined the phrase “Britpop.” Her first book, Lunch With The Wild Frontiers: A History Of Britpop And Excess in 13 and a 1/2 Chapters, was a fantastic read. Her second book, Here They Come With Their Make Up On: Suede, Coming Up And More Adventures Beyond The Wild Frontiers, was released in 2022 and her third book on Pulp’s “This is Hardcore” will be released March 7th. It’s part of the brilliant 33 1/3 series from Bloomsbury Press.   You can order her new book, "Pulp's This Is Hardcore" here.

We're back with a new season and we’re kicking off with a story from the legendary Gary Numan. He’s a pioneer in electronic music producing such early hits as “Are Friends Electric?” and “Cars” and is an inspiration to artists as varied as Nine Inch Nails, Damon Albarn from Blur, and the Foo Fighters. After a series of shows at Wembly in 1981, Numan decided to “retire” for a spell. Music got in the way of Numan’s other love, flying planes and, in 1982 he decided to take his plane and circumnavigate the globe. Today, Gary tells us about the highs and lows of that experience. It’s quite a tale so buckle your seat belts and strap in for the ride!
