    Tonechaser – The Genius of Edward Van Halen

    Writer/journalist Steve Rosen’s new book, Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-year Journey with Edward Van Halen is filled with personal stories from the many conversations that Steve had with his friend, Edward. He recounts meeting Edward for the first time at The Whiskey on the Sunset Strip months before Van Halen’s eponymous debut album dropped!

He details the parties they went to, the time Edward drove them to Guitar Center to buy guitar strings… in his Lamborghini, and what he thinks may have severed their close friendship in 2003, and the sadness he feels about that to this day.

    AND NOW there’s a Tonechaser audio book available where you can HEAR the actual conversations between Steve & Edward Van Halen! 30 hours! Purchase: https://mysoundwise.com/soundcasts/1717024962822s

    The Legendary Career of Beverly D’Angelo

    The Legendary Career of Beverly D’Angelo

    Beverly D’Angelo may be best known as Ellen Griswold in the Vacation movie franchise, but she actually got her showbiz start as a singer! She was a rock n roller long before she ever graced the silver screen or Broadway stage! In fact, it was her incredible singing that landed her the award-winning role of Patsy Cline in Coal Miner’s Daughter alongside Sissy Spacek, and an in-person audition for the part in front of the legendary Loretta Lynn herself. Beverly recounts her days on the road with Rompin’ Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks, and explains how that led to Coal Miner’s Daughter which in turn led to Vacation. She remembers getting a call from Doug Ellin to make a one-off cameo appearance on HBO’s Entourage, and how that quickly turned into a recurring character. Plus, Beverly reveals her upcoming plans to make a music docu-series!

    We Believe In Joe Hendry!

    We Believe In Joe Hendry!

    Say his name and he appears! So we did, and now Joe Hendry makes his TIJ debut! He shares the story (and pitch to Jimmy Jacobs) behind his initial vignettes and gimmick, and explains how a short-lived telesales job, a few words from Eric Young, and a lesson in songwriting from Queen solidified his act. He talks about the text exchange with TNA that changed his life, how a couple of very well-placed billboards outside the Hydro in Glasgow may have led to his recent NXT appearance, and why being forced to sit home for 2 years during the pandemic ultimately saved his wrestling career. Joe has tales about wrestling Kurt Angle, cutting promos with Shawn Michaels, having a hit song on the charts thanks to Matt Cardona, how he’s come to main event the TNA Slammiversary PPV with Moose, and why he is convinced that he will find himself in the ring with John Cena next year.

    Dani Mo Elevates Pro Wrestling In Nepal

    Dani Mo Elevates Pro Wrestling In Nepal

    Dani Mo recently set the world record for the highest elevation women’s pro wrestling match after journeying to Nepal to wrestle on Kala Patthar in the Mt Everest region. Dani wrestled Nepal’s first-ever women’s professional wrestler, Baghawait Unika at 5,600 meters in a homemade wrestling ring carried up the mountain on a helicopter! That’s roughly 18,300 feet or 3.4 miles ABOVE sea level! It’s higher than Mt. Everest base camp which is why they chose that location. Dani details the entire story from her initial invitation from Unika to her 22-hour journey to Kathmandu, Nepal to her harrowing flights in and out of the world’s most dangerous airport in the mountain town of Lukla! She explains what it was like to wrestle on uneven, rocky ground with very little oxygen, how she overcame the language barrier with her opponent, and the unbelievable reason why she had to overdub her promo once she got back to the States.

Jericho always has had range!

Love how Jericho has a variety of guests on his podcasts from all walks of life. His interview style is great, never over talks his guests, asks great questions, and is a fantastic host overall.

Borismavin ,

Loving the podcast since day 1

Hey Chris or whomever looks at/ reads this, love the podcast. I miss the cowbell though. It needs more cowbell. At least for certain guests. I miss the song intros too but every now and then it's cool sprinkles in. Also, and I love the interviews with musical guests I've never listened to I usually end up checking them out and liking their stuff (like with stuck mojo)
