Ohio bred singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi joins the show to introduce us to his 8 year old Great Pyrenees Captain whose ears are the first to hear his songs before they go on to get streamed hundreds of millions of times across the globe. Great talk with a well-informed artist who was raised by a mother who worked at an animal shelter.

Michael's new song Flyover State was just released on February 28th and is available now on your preferred streaming platform. Catch Michael live on his headlining tour through March 22nd. For dates and tickets visit michaelmarcagimusic.com/tour

It should come as no surprise that Michael gave his local shelter, Save The Animals Foundation (STAF), a shout out. STAF is a volunteer-driven, no-kill shelter in Cincinnati providing rescue and rehabilitation to alleviate the suffering of dogs and cats, while helping each animal find a loving home.
