I Bombed The Interview... And Got The Job

This is the story of how a disastrous job interview somehow became the best thing that ever happened to my career. I walked into an interview feeling wildly underqualified… and accidentally started a career in rock radio. A very chaotic reminder that sometimes if it’s meant to be… it’ll be.

I Married The Band, Pt. 2

If you’re married to a touring musician, I have a question for you: How do you do it?! Because based on one particular night while my husband was out on tour… I’m not entirely convinced I’m cut out for this lifestyle. I’m sharing the story of the night my alarm system started going off while I was home alone and I was absolutely convinced someone was breaking into the house. What I thought was happening and what was actually happening were two very different things. Let’s just say my cat played a very dramatic role in the chaos.

Amy Lee & The Softest Interview Ever

A Zoom interview with Amy Lee... but make it cozy. We’re talking a hiking injury in Nashville, a boot, stuffed animals, and a conversation that felt way more like FaceTime than a formal interview. It was soft. It was wholesome. It was not what I expected… and I loved every second of it.

Free Stuff Has Consequences?

Free stuff sounds great… until you’re offered a dragon tattoo, paid in chicken wings you didn’t ask for, and accidentally taken out by a THC cookie. In this episode, I talk about the weird, random, and sometimes questionable “perks” that come with my job... including things I’m very glad I said no to. Consider this a reminder that just because something’s free doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

Alex Weeden & The Room Full of Legends

This week’s guest: Alex Weeden Alex is one of those musicians who makes you realize just how small (and wild) the music world really is. We go way back decades, from his early days playing for Miranda Lambert to now touring massive arenas with Parker McCollum. We swap memories, embarrassing nicknames, and stories that casually include Dave Grohl being cool, an awkward moment in front of Reese Witherspoon, and an unreal Paul McCartney encounter. This episode is a full-circle moment.
