In this episode, I talk to Darragh Mason about his book Song of the Dark Man: Father of Witches, Lord of the Crossroads. We dive deep into the complex definition of this elusive figure. Darragh does a great job explaining the folklore and blending it with stories he’s been told through his own podcast. He then takes us through his own experience of encountering the Dark Man. He has a fascinating story, and I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I talk to Alan Paul — 3x New York Times bestselling author and musician — as he gives us a really cool insight on the legends of The Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Alan shares stories from his books Brothers and Sisters and Texas Flood, weaving personal insights, rare interview audio, and behind-the-scenes tales that shaped the sound and soul of the '70s.

From Dickey Betts’ twin guitar harmonies to the emotional impact of Duanes and SRV’s untimely deaths, and even the rumored tensions between the Allmans and the Dead, this is a rare look at the intersections of music, legacy, and loss — told by someone who's sat with the giants.
