Grandpa & John

In the early days of the pandemic, I found a record poking out of a bookshelf. I must've walked past that shelf a million times, how had I never noticed it? Turns out: the record was written for my grandfather by future Broadway titan: John Kander. The story doesn't stop there and only gets better. I invite you to listen and enjoy and share. This story began as a twitter thread that went super viral, amassing tens of millions of views.

Houston Astros Manager Dusty Baker

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker is probably one of the coolest people to ever set foot on Planet Earth. The man literally invented the high five in 1977 (seriously, look it up, I'm not lying) and yet somehow that isn't the coolest thing about him. His love and passion for music runs very deep, you'll hear that in the stories he tells. PS shoutout to Sydney Colson.

When Jay-Z Turned Noel Gallagher Into A Sham Pain Supernova

Once upon a time, Jay-Z was announced to be the first rapper to headline Glastonbury. Noel Gallager from Oasis didn't like that very much, he told the press, "I'm not havin' hip-hop at Glastonbury. Fookin no way." The way Jay-Z responded was equal parts class and ether.

When I Interviewed Bill Withers

One fateful day, I found myself holding a camera and staring into Bill Withers' eyes. Or, I should say, he was staring into mine. No, he was gazing into my soul. He could see all the highlights of my life, he could see every mistake I ever made. And he was smiling. Here's that story + at the end a chance for you to reflect on pieces of people you care about that you carry with you. This story was first published on the Elis Audio app in two parts, find the story here: https://spaces.elis.io/spaces/nostalgiatapes/posts/5fe9ed09-5f30-4e23-87ec-70b7b63ebd98 And part two here: https://spaces.elis.io/spaces/nostalgiatapes/posts/6469d199-dfce-43ee-82f3-6242192f4e1f

I love listening to this at night. It makes me feel warm, like I’m part of an intimate conversation between friends. Sama’an asks great questions and through it we get a little window into people’s (and not just any people, dope ass musicians just to keep it 2 Virgils) lives.

This is probably one of the best original ideas for a podcast, and he executes it so well. The music cues are perfectly placed, and his guests sound so comfortable. I don’t think I’ve had as much fun listening to a podcast as I do listening to this.
