With the announcement of the lineup for Bonnaroo 2024, Season 7 of The What Podcast is officially underway. Last time, the crew gave their first impressions of the bill, which features Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone, and more. This week, they’re going even deeper, as Barry and Lord Taco sit down with Brad Parker and Cory Smith from C3 Presents, the folks behind the fest.

The group talks all things Roo, discussing what makes the festival special and how it has evolved over the years. They had so much to say on these topics, in fact, that we had to split the episode in two! Check out part two of our conversation with Brad and Cory from C3 here!

Listen to the full chat on The What Podcast here and you can also watch it on YouTube. While you’re at it, go ahead and like, review, and subscribe to The What Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
