    The Heartwood Soundstage Crew (Live from Gainesville with Pete Nester)

    Pete Nester is down in Gainesville at the Tom Petty Weekend, subbing in for me as I can't be there. He's been doing a fantastic job of connecting me with the weekend via messages, video clips, and photos and he's even gone the extra mile and interviewed a few folks down there! As well as some of the artists, he caught up with some of the amazing crew that make this weekend one of the best festival experiences of the year; Lynne Ellison, Dan Spiess, and Brandon Leavitt. Sit back, relax and enjoy Pete Nester's conversation with Lynne, Dan, and Brandon!

  7. Season 11 Intro - Songs and Music from the Motion Picture "She's The One"

    OCT 16

    Season 11 Intro - Songs and Music from the Motion Picture "She's The One"

    I enjoyed previewing season ten and talking about Wildflowers before we started digging into the songs and figured, “you know what, let’s do that for each season moving forward!” So I’m going to split this episode into two halves. The first half is a little bit of an intro to this album, in case you’re not familiar or you’re less familiar with it. The second half will be my comments on the movie, which I’ve never seen and am watching for the first time so that I can give you my thoughts for the podcast! Hopefully this will be interesting for all of us!

    The Petty 8ight with Ian Winick

    This week's episode is the fourth installment The Petty 8ight! I love talking to Pettyheads, musicians, and other people who have been influenced by Tom or his music in myriad ways, but I thought it would be neat to see what non-fans, or non-hardcore fans think of Tom's music if I threw deeper cuts at them. My latest #Petty8ight guest is the wonderful Ian Winick, who has been an incredibly supportive and engaged listener of one of my other podcasts, Seaside Pod Review. We share a love of Queen, Marillion, and a lot of the same comedy, as well as a love of words and of the art and craft of songwriting. It was an absolute joy to spend a couple and a half hours in Ian's company and I know you're going to love his first-listen insights into these eight deeper cuts from Tom's catalogue. If you want to listen to Ian's fantastic album that he released with John Loves Julie, you can find that here: https://soundcloud.com/johnlovesjulie and you can find the song "Lucky You" here: https://soundcloud.com/johnlovesjulie/lucky-you If you want to find his equally brilliant, and very very funny, podcast "Lord of Adders Black" which he co-hosts with the marvelous Michael Smith, you can find that here!
