This is an encore episode featuring our conversation with 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Peter Frampton. Peter came on the show back in February of this year when he was merely a Hall of Fame nominee and gave us his first in-depth interview about his service dog Bigsby, a 3 year old black golden doodle who was trained to assist him as he navigates the effects of Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) which Peter was diagnosed with in 2015.

We are happy to welcome Erin Barth-Dwyer of the band Overheard to the show.

We also pay our respects to his Cairn terrier Marty which led us to a helpful discussion around end of life care. Great talk with a good-hearted dog dad.
