Irish Bobby Cassidy: The Unfiltered Story of a Boxer and Father E142
A lot of people love boxing stories because they’re clean: a tough kid fights his way out, the crowd roars, the credits roll. Irish Bobby Cassidy’s life is not clean, and that’s exactly why this conversation matters. I’m joined by Bobby Cassidy Jr. (longtime journalist and author of Requiem for a Middleweight: The Irish Bobby Cassidy Story) to tell the full story of a Levittown legend who kept moving forward, even when the punches came from outside the ring. We go deep in boxing histor...

1996 Olympics Music Connections and The Rolling Stones Foreign Tongues E141
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 people love to remember, from landing tickets the old-school way to watching basketball in the Georgia Dome and soaking up the larger-than-life spectacle of the Centennial Olympic Games. Then we go behind the curtain. Jimmy shares what it was like working on Olympic-related au...

Anne Harris: A Fiddler and Her Love of Music E140
A rock band is only as good as its ability to surprise you, and Anne Harris is built for surprise. She’s the fiddle player you hear with Cracker, and we talk about the first night it clicked that turned into an open invitation to sit in and stretch out. Along the way, Anne explains what makes musical chemistry real: shared taste, trust, and the kind of listening that turns solos into a back-and-forth conversation. We get deep into the art of live improvisation and why it keeps a show from ge...

Athfest 2026, A Proposal, and A Life of Illusion E139
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 Athfest with a full set of field notes, from the festival’s free outdoor stages to the wristband club crawl that turns Athens into a choose-your-own-adventure for live music fans. Along the way we run into familiar friends, swap stories about who lit up the night, and dig int...

Billboard Hits of July 4, 1976: Skyrockets in Flight, Afternoon Delight E138
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 United States Bicentennial vibe that made 1976 feel bigger than life. Along the way, we share the tiny details that still stick: Bicentennial quarters, the two-dollar bill comeback and Operation Sail in New York. From there, we rebuild the day through music by revisiting the B...

Paperback Writer, Carole King "Tapestry", and Somebody Put Something in My Drink E137
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 songs we love can turn into life lessons we don’t forget. • Cracker plays loose and confident • Drivin N Cryin opening run and why “Scarred But Smarter” still hits • “Barracuda” in the airport and walking to the beat • listener messages and meeting people...

Behind the Strings of R.E.M.'s Out of Time: Violinist David Arenz E136
“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.E.M.’s Out of Time, to unpack what it’s like to walk into a studio, open the sheet music, listen to the track, and deliver takes that end up etched into music history. We get practical about the process: how pop string sections are recorded, why overdubbing matters, how a sm...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 40th Anniversary, Van Halen "Fair Warning", and The Smiths "The Queen is Dead" E135
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 at always being overlooked, plus the running joke of Rooney trying way too hard to catch a kid skipping school. And yes, we keep coming back to the line that never stopped being true: life moves pretty fast. We also dig into why the soundtrack is more than background noise. T...
