Jackalope Tales pulls back the curtain on the strange, spooky, and sometimes shocking urban legends that lurk within the music industry. Hosts, and founding members of the platinum selling band Toadies, Charles Mooney and Lisa Umbarger explore the weird and wacky stories behind music's biggest names. Some legends are too bizarre to be true, while others may have a kernel of truth buried beneath the hype. You'll never listen to your favorite songs the same way again after you hear the outlandish myths behind them on Jackalope Tales.

Customer Reviews
Binge Worthy!
Loving this show from two founders of the greatest band to hail from TX!! I’m digging the personal stories intermixed with the jackalope tales. But really you hooked me on Hank’s workout seshes behind Trees. Hilarious!
Always gets me super excited!
I get super excited everytime I see a new podcast drop. It’s like Charles and Lisa are two good friends you have over for dinner who always have a new story to share. I
am thoroughly entertained every single week. My one recommendation. Let the kazoo play longer before doing the Lone Star Review segment. That Kazoo deserves its moment to shine! (Thanks Courtney Mooney for showcasing your kazoo skills.)
Once a rockstar, always one. Super witty and entertaining.
I have enjoyed the podcast so much and the episodes are witty, interesting, and very funny. I would love to see this podcast as a channel on YouTube. Rockstars Lisa and Charles are complementing each other. The show has so much character and you can tell that they two rockstars have a good relationship and have fun with it, also. I hope it stays around. Thank you.
