Every Playlist Tells A Story

Todd’s back this week for the #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory podcast, Jimmy suffers technical issues, Emily lands on a cover band page, and we have Matt Potter of 3 O’Clock Charlie joins us to talk band history, where he can truly be himself and voice a complaint about a comment from a previous episode and much more.     #PapacitaTodd #TioJimmy #PrimaEmily #MattPotter #GoodDude #3OClockCharlie #AutismA...

Wrapping up the trilogy of concert accounts with the man that witnessed them in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Great stories of David Bowie, Kiss on their first tour, Tommy Bolin, Johnny Winter, Mountain, Damn Yankees and so many more.

We continue stories from the middle of the rock concert. This time Jack talks about seeing REO Speedwagon in 2 different cities on the same day AND helped them change a tire on their limo. We talk live shows with Ozzy Black Sabbath, Dio Black Sabbath, Ozzy solo with Randy Rhoads and solo Dio in a Country Western bar in Indianapolis.

Back before Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Facility Fees and Fan Club Presale Codes; there was the concert experience in its purest form and with the help of Jack Perry we go back in time to the real That 70s Show and talk about what the concert experience used to be. Today with talk live shows at the Evansville Indiana venues with the bands Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, Kiss, Aerosmith, th...

Lora joins us this week as we explore the remarkable career of Blue Eyed Soul king Mr. Michael McDonald. Lora answers "Jimmy's Get To Know You Questions", tells us about her hatred of red onions and her love of 90s music. We talk about our 4th of July events. And, of course, Jimmy does his ridiculous Mike McDonald impersonations.

As Todd continues his live event production tour of duty across the United States; Emily, Susie and Jimmy continue to not deliver on the now long promised Michael McDonald episode by distracting themselves with Emily's fun music trivia, Jimmy's Bigfoot adventures and Susie's recent trip to New Orleans. We also have this week's Top 5 Songs dedicated to Todd's current airport ter...

Todd is on assignment this week, so Emily & Jimmy bring in Yacht Rock/Little River Band enthusiast Susie to do a round of get to know Q&As plus a Top 5 of the week and a "Deep Thoughts with Emily" segment. The big questions this week is: If a documentary of your life was done, who would you hire to narrate and what song is playing during its opening credits?

As Kenny Loggins says (but didn’t advance in the bracket), This Is It.  #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory knocks out the remaining challengers to end up naming the #1 Yacht Rock Song of all time.  Place your bets and see if you agree with where we land.  And we also visit on the best movies and sequel and movies that don’t turn out to be what you thought they’d be and our Top 10 Summer Songs.  Don’t give...

Only the power of “Yacht Rock” can get season 3 of #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory back started right.

The EPTAS Gang weren't able to get together this week for a new episode so we thought we'd go all the way back to where it all started and re-visit Episode 1.
