  1. Two Stories, One Band — The Quiet Riot Origin Mystery [Highlight From Episode 358]

    Two Stories, One Band — The Quiet Riot Origin Mystery [Highlight From Episode 358]

    Before the platinum records… before Metal Health changed heavy metal forever… there was a beginning — and not everyone remembers it the same way. In this episode, original bassist Kelly Garni tells his firsthand account of how Quiet Riot actually formed in early-70s Los Angeles. But the story longtime frontman Kevin DuBrow shared publicly over the years paints a very different picture. So which version is true? We dig into the conflicting origin stories, the friendships, the ambitions, and the mythology that formed one of the most important bands of the Sunset Strip era. Memory, ego, media narratives — and the passage of time — all collide as we try to separate rock history from rock legend. If you think you know how Quiet Riot started… you might not.

    Yoko Ono at 93: Art, Sound, and the Legacy Revisited [Episode 359]

    As Yoko Ono approaches her 93rd birthday, the conversation around her is changing. With new exhibitions and Beatles films putting her back into the cultural spotlight, we take a deeper look at the artist behind the headlines. Often reduced to myth and controversy, Yoko Ono has spent decades shaping avant-garde art, experimental music, and the language of performance itself. This episode features an interview with Madeline Bocaro, author of In Your Mind: The Infinite Universe Of Yoko Ono. A new expanded e-book has just been released. We explore Yoko’s life, influence, and groundbreaking sound — from conceptual art and boundary-pushing recordings to the cultural impact she continues to have today. Plus, a preview of Bocaro's upcoming new book examining how Yoko's fearless approach to sound helped redefine what music could be.

    Geezer Butler’s Secret Session with Plant, Jones & Iommi [Highlight From Episode 357]

    Imagine Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin colliding in one room — and someone actually hit record. In this episode highlight clip, Denny Somach, author of Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin Became the Biggest Band in the World, shares the incredible story of the jam session where Geezer Butler played with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Tony Iommi — a moment fans would consider impossible… except it happened. The musicians even jokingly dubbed it “Black Zeppelin.” Here’s the twist: the session was recorded, but Geezer doesn’t have the tape. Somebody does. And after all these years, it could still surface. Was it heavy? Was it bluesy? And could rock’s ultimate lost collaboration someday leak out? This is the story of one of the most fascinating missing recordings in rock history — the album that exists, but nobody can hear.

    He Could’ve Joined Led Zeppelin — But Said No [Highlight From Episode 357]

    In this audio highlight, the spotlight turns to one of rock’s greatest unsung heroes: Nicky Hopkins — the legendary session pianist who played on iconic recordings by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, and countless others. But here’s the twist: Hopkins once had the opportunity to become a member of Led Zeppelin — and turned it down.  In this clip, Denny Somach, author of Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin Became the Biggest Band in the World, shares the fascinating story behind that decision and what it could have meant for rock history. A true “what if” moment — told by someone who knows the Zeppelin story inside and out.

    Did CIA Experiments Shape Charles Manson? [Highlight From Episode 356]

    This episode highlight explores the competing theories behind Charles Manson’s motives — from psychological explanations and the cultural chaos of the late 1960s to the controversial claim that he may have been an unwitting subject of CIA mind-control experiments. Featuring insights from Nicholas Tochka, author of 'The Musical Lives of Charles Manson: The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Invention of the Sixties ―or, No Sense Makes Sense', the clip examines what’s documented, what remains speculation, and why the Manson story continues to fascinate decades later.
