    Episode 17: Lonnie Park on Multiple Grammys, Eclectic Producing, Faith, Stewart Copeland, and Doing the Work for the Right Reasons

    In this episode of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey welcomes multi-Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, and performer Lonnie Park for a candid and inspiring conversation about a career built on eclecticism, faith, hard work, and a refusal to be boxed in by genre or geography. Lonnie's origin story is one of the most memorable in the podcast's run. He grew up in a deeply conservative Baptist home where rock and roll, in fact, virtually any contemporary music with a drumbeat, was forbidden. His first real encounter with rock music came when a friend handed him a copy of the Police's Synchronicity and dared him to explain what was so evil about it. Lonnie dutifully filled a notebook with objections. He was wrong about all of them. Years later, his path would come full circle in the most unexpected way: he ended up producing an album with Stewart Copeland of the Police, which went on to win a Grammy. He told Copeland the story. Copeland laughed his ass off. Based in Freeville, New York, a one-square town in the middle of nowhere, Lonnie built a career by taking every client in every genre who came through the door, accumulating expertise across jazz, gospel, new age, children's music, world, country, folk, and progressive metal. He holds three Grammy Awards and eight Grammy nominations, as well as a United Nations Action Award, and his work has repeatedly placed him on the Billboard charts. The conversation explores what it means to produce with genuine personal investment. Lonnie describes getting so immersed in a project that he sometimes has to remind himself that the music is not his, and that it is the level of care that separates a good record from a great one. Joey and Lonnie close with an honest exchange about the economics and mental health realities of life as an independent artist and producer, the promises and perils of AI in creative work, and the advice Lonnie gives anyone who asks how to make it: forget about making it, and remember why you started. Almost every meaningful break in his career, he notes, came not from strategy but from showing up fully and letting the work speak.

    Episode 16: Tim Duffy on Music Maker, Roots Music, Juke Joints, and Preserving America’s Hidden Musical Treasures

    In Episode 16 of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey reconnects with Tim Duffy, co-founder of the Music Maker Foundation, for a soulful conversation about roots music, cultural preservation, dignity, and the artists whose voices deserve to be heard. Tim reflects on meeting Joey years ago at Adam’s Lounge in Georgia, one of those real musical places where history, community, and raw talent all collide. From there, he shares the mission behind Music Maker: supporting traditional American musicians not only by recording and presenting their work, but by helping meet real day-to-day needs so they can continue creating. The episode explores Tim’s decades of field recording, artist relationships, juke joints, gospel traditions, blues culture, and the hidden musical depth of places like Georgia, North Carolina, and the rural South. He discusses Music Maker’s work with hundreds of artists, thousands of performances, museum exhibitions, international tours, and a catalog built around preserving voices that might otherwise never reach the wider world. Joey and Tim also dig into the modern challenges facing musicians, from the collapse of old record-business models to social media pressure, AI music, sync disruption, and the difficulty of building sustainable careers in an attention economy. But the heart of the conversation is hope: music as healing, purpose, rehabilitation, and a way of restoring dignity. The result is a moving episode about friendship, service, preservation, and the belief that America’s deepest musical treasures are often found far from the spotlight.

    Episode 15: Jonathan Wyner on Mastering, AI in Music, Berklee, and Five Thousand Records Worth of Perspective

    In this episode of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey welcomes Jonathan Wyner, mastering engineer, Berklee professor, past president of the Audio Engineering Society, chief engineer at M Works Studios, and head of artistic technology initiatives at Berklee's Emerging Artistic Technology Lab (BEATL), for a deeply thoughtful conversation about what it means to spend a life in service of other people's music and ideas. Jonathan traces his path from a childhood home full of music and technology, where a substitute teacher running an ARP 2600 through a microphone drilled into a trombone mouthpiece ignited a lifelong obsession, through a French horn performance degree, a six-week recording workshop in Ohio, and eventually a career that has taken him into sessions with James Taylor, David Bowie, Aerosmith, Miles Davis, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, and dozens more over the course of more than five thousand recordings. He talks candidly about what drew him to the engineer's chair rather than the microphone, a combination of musical passion, shyness, and the realization that working with great artists could be just as fulfilling as being one. The conversation digs into the practical realities of getting started in recording, what gear actually matters at the beginning, why headphones can be a legitimate starting point, and how training your ears on honest monitoring shapes every decision you will ever make in the studio. Jonathan offers clear, grounded advice for anyone working with limited resources, grounded in decades of teaching at Berklee and Berklee Online. Joey and Jonathan also explore the central question of Jonathan's current work at BEATL: how artists, educators, and the music industry at large should engage with AI and emerging technology in ways that are honest, musically grounded, and attentive to questions of authorship and identity. Jonathan brings a nuanced perspective; he is neither a pure skeptic nor an uncritical enthusiast, and his sense of responsibility to represent working musicians in conversations with developers and policymakers gives the discussion real weight. The episode is a masterclass in how to think carefully about the tools we use and why.

    Episode 14: Michael Beinhorn on Soundgarden's Superunknown, Creative Friction, Remote Production, AI, and the Producer’s Role

    In Episode 14 of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with acclaimed producer, musician, author, and creative strategist Michael Beinhorn for a wide-ranging conversation about records, risk, taste, technology, and what a producer is really there to do. Michael reflects on his early years co-founding the New York musical collective Material with Bill Laswell, his work on Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit,” and the path that led him into producing era-defining records for artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Hole, Marilyn Manson, Soul Asylum, Korn, and others. Joey opens with a personal story about discovering, after meeting Michael, that he had produced one of Joey’s favorite albums of all time: Soundgarden’s Superunknown. From there, the conversation explores the deeper craft of record-making: how to recognize the emotional center of a song, why great records often require discomfort, and how a producer must sometimes serve as captain, translator, psychologist, and truth-teller. Michael talks candidly about band dynamics, the pressure of high-stakes sessions, the danger of mediocrity, and the importance of helping artists push beyond their first or easiest ideas. Joey and Michael also discuss the evolution of recording from live band performance to modern editing, the creative value of limitations, and the difference between using technology as a tool versus allowing it to flatten human expression. Michael offers a nuanced take on AI, arguing that the real issue is not simply the tool itself, but the way it is being marketed, deployed, and used to replace rather than deepen human creativity. The episode closes with Michael’s current work in remote production and artist development, showing that the producer’s core job has not changed: listen deeply, respond honestly, and help artists make the strongest work they are capable of making.

    Episode 13: Ross Hogarth on Van Halen, Multiple Grammys, Musicianship in the Studio, and the Human Heart of Record-Making

    In this episode of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey welcomes multiple Grammy Award-winning producer, engineer, and mixer Ross Hogarth for a rich conversation about a four-decade career spent in the company of some of the greatest artists in rock, blues, reggae, and beyond. From the downtown New York punk scene to the California studios where legends are made, Ross's story is one of relentless curiosity, hard-won instincts, and an unshakable belief that music is chosen — not pursued. Ross traces his beginnings as a drummer in New York, where the couch took a beating from soup spoons before he ever touched a real kit, through his years as a guitarist in bands, a student of folk music in the company of Pete Seeger's circle, and eventually a roadie and guitar tech for David Lindley, Jackson Browne, Mick Fleetwood, and Jim Keltner in Santa Cruz and Southern California. He shares how showing up — on time, prepared, and willing — opened doors that no resume ever could, and how the discipline of the drummer's relationship with time would become the secret weapon of his production and engineering career. The conversation moves through some of the most celebrated sessions of Ross's career, including his Grammy wins with Quincy Jones and Keb' Mo', the making of Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth — the band's first record with David Lee Roth in twenty-eight years — and his Grammy-winning work with Ziggy Marley, TajMo, and Edgar Winter. Ross speaks candidly about the craft of analog recording, the near-surgical precision required to punch in and out on tape, and why his background as a musician gave him an irreplaceable edge in communicating with artists on either side of the glass. Joey and Ross close with a conversation about the value of imperfection in recorded music — the grinding and clanking of the B3 organ, the tempo that breathes between the verse and the chorus, the odd bar that gives a lyric room to land. Ross makes a heartfelt case that the soul of a great record lives in those human moments, and that the goal of any producer worth the title is not perfection, but presence.

    Episode 12: Richard Blade on KROQ, SiriusXM, New Wave, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a Life Lived in Music

    In this episode of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with the legendary Richard Blade. He's an Oxford-educated DJ, bestselling author, actor, and one of the most beloved voices in American radio. The episode features a wide-ranging conversation about music, adventure, identity, and the power of saying yes even when the odds are stacked against you. Richard traces his journey from Torquay, England, where a transistor radio and a love of music captured his imagination, through his years DJing at Oxford University colleges, touring Europe with a battered MG Midget packed full of gear, and eventually landing in Los Angeles just as the post-punk and new wave scene was exploding on the Sunset Strip. Joey and Richard dive deep into the storied history of KROQ, the station Richard would help define throughout the 1980s — including the remarkable story of how he got his foot in the door by agreeing to work for free and quit his paying job at the same time. Richard also shares the behind-the-scenes origin of his iconic name, which he stumbled into almost by accident from a billboard for Blade Runner moments before going live on air. The conversation turns to Richard's decades-long tenure hosting his daily show on SiriusXM's 1st Wave, his passion for the artists and music that shaped a generation, and the deep connection he maintains with listeners who grew up on the sounds he championed. Joey and Richard also discuss Richard's busy life as a writer, including his autobiography World in My Eyes, five novels, and two non-fiction music books featuring conversations with some of music's biggest names, all of which debuted at number one on Amazon's bestseller lists. Richard reflects on receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June 2024, with Billy Idol and Jimmy Kimmel at his side, and the humbling sense of gratitude that comes from a lifetime spent doing exactly what you love. The episode closes on a deeply personal note, with a discussion about small acts of human kindness and the importance of giving back, a philosophy that informs both Richard's public work and his private life.

    Episode 11: Lachi on Disability Culture, RAMPD, I Identify as Blind, and Building Community in the Music Industry

    In this episode of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with his dear friend Lachi, recording artist, music executive, Disability Culture champion, Recording Academy National Trustee, and author, for a conversation that is by turns hilarious, moving, and genuinely revelatory. Born legally blind, Lachi has spent her career using music, advocacy, and storytelling to bring Disability Culture into the mainstream, and this episode captures her doing all three at once. Joey and Lachi open with an enthusiastic discussion of her book I Identify as Blind, published by Penguin Random House, which uses humor, candor, and celebrity interviews to celebrate and amplify disability identity and pride. The two compare notes on growing up blind in a world that rarely made space for them, navigating schools, social circles, and industries that were not designed with them in mind, and Lachi describes how it was only after finding success in the music business that she realized she could not be the only one, and that finding community was both urgent and transformative. From there, Lachi tells the origin story of RAMPD (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities), which grew out of a 2021 Recording Academy panel that went viral during COVID and sparked a flood of messages from music professionals who had been masking their disabilities for years. She explains how RAMPD now works with Netflix, Live Nation, the GRAMMYs, and others to build disability-inclusive programming across the industry, and how it has become a vital network for hundreds of creative professionals who previously had nowhere to turn. The episode includes a powerful history lesson on the disability rights movement, as Lachi shares the story of Judy Heumann, Brad Lomax, and the 28-day sit-in that ultimately led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a story made possible in part by the Black Panthers, whose crucial contribution Lachi is committed to making sure is never forgotten. The conversation is a reminder that music and advocacy are not separate vocations but two expressions of the same impulse: to be fully heard.

    Episode 10: Ariel Hyatt on Marketing, Publicity, Artist Identity, and Building a Sustainable Music Career

    In Episode 10 of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with music marketing strategist, author, educator, and Cyber PR founder Ariel Hyatt for a practical and deeply human conversation about what it really takes to build a lasting music career in the digital age. Ariel traces her path from a childhood shaped by theater, art, dyslexia, and music to the early days of independent music marketing, where she cut her teeth in scrappy grassroots scenes before launching her own publicity company at age 23. That journey eventually became Cyber PR, where Ariel has spent decades helping artists make sense of a music business that never stops changing. Joey and Ariel dig into some of the most urgent questions facing artists today: how to understand your artistic identity, how to find the right fans, why fake numbers and playlist-driven “buzz marketing” can leave artists with no real audience, and why 200 genuine fans can matter more than thousands of empty streams. Ariel makes the case for moving from shallow visibility to meaningful connection, what she calls shifting from buzz to bond. The conversation also explores the overwhelming pace of modern content, the loss of music as a focused listening experience, the value of physical releases and fan experiences, and why artists need a plan, a team, and a clear sense of what they are actually building. Later, Joey and Ariel discuss AI in the music space, where Ariel offers a balanced view: useful as a tool for marketing, organization, and efficiency, but dangerous when it floods platforms with more low-value content and makes it even harder for human artists to be heard. The result is an essential episode for independent artists who want to stop chasing vanity metrics and start building a more intentional, sustainable, fan-centered career.
