Special Episode – Interview with John DeBella on Peter Gabriel (and Many Other Things)

In this special episode we here at the Palaver are deeply honored to speak with Philadelphia radio legend John DeBella. The conversation was originally set up to question John on his unique and close relationship with Peter Gabriel. The interview covers how John and Peter’s friendship began, insights John has had over Peter’s career and John’s central role in making So the commercial monster it became in the US.

But one does not talk with the likes of John DeBella and stick to a single topic. The influence of Philly radio, the origins of the prog love in Philadelphia, paying a visit to Roger Waters house. The list goes on. Most importantly, John shared with us his three major passions beyond music; dogs, hunger and veterans. These causes are very close to John and he goes to great lengths to support them including the Veterans Radiothon.

Strap in, hold on and enjoy the ride for this most entertaining interview. Thanks John!
