Curator

Why did you choose this theme?

I love listening to podcasts. There are a number of interview-based shows that I enjoy, but the podcasts I really love are those that are more story-oriented.In this list, you'll find shows that shine a light on some of my favorite artists’ lives.

The Ballad of Billy BallsBilly Balls and His Babygirl

This podcast might not be about a famous musician you’ve heard of – but it’s definitely a story you should hear. It’s part mystery, part historical documentary of New York City in the early 80s, a huge dash of family trauma, and a bit of a coming-out story. It plays like a fascinating piece of fiction….except it’s all true.

About a GirlMary Austin & Freddie Mercury — Love Of My LifeThis podcast definitely features musicians you’ve heard of, but shows the artists through the lens of the women in their lives. It’s fascinating, eye-opening, and guaranteed you’ll learn something about these people that you didn’t know before.

Waiting for Impact

I've Been Thinking About YouDave Holmes’ quest to find a boy band from the 90s that only deep pop culture aficionados would have known about is surprisingly twisting and turning and full of heart.

Fresh Off the SpaceshipYou Are Now Entering the Black ConstellationYou know Seattle for its grunge history, but the city also holds a wealth of other musical gems. This show goes into a deep dive of the “Black Constellation” – a loose collective of Seattle artists including Shabazz Palaces, Thee Satisfaction, and so much more. 

Lived Through ThatEpisode 1 - Rob Zabrecky from Possum DixonThis is our curator, Mike's podcast. He strives for it to be kind of a “rock and roll This American Life.” It’s the companion podcast to Mike's book of the same name. Each episode focuses on one artist from the 80s or 90s. They tell a tale of a pivotal moment in their lives. Guests range from Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic to 80s legend Nick Heyward to Speech from Arrested Development.
