The Allison Hagendorf Show episodes

February 06 An Evening With Puscifer: "Normal Isn’t" & the Art of Creative Freedom
Under the stars at LA’s historic Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Allison Hagendorf sits down with Puscifer — Maynard James Keenan, Karina Round, and Matt Mitchell — for an intimate screening party and the first-ever listen of their new album, Normal Isn’t.

Fresh off hearing the record come to life for the very first time, the band opens up about what makes Puscifer different: no rules, no fixed lineup, total trust, and the freedom to follow ideas wherever they lead even when that means comedy and heaviness living side by side.

The conversation dives into:
⚡️ Experiencing Normal Isn’t for the first time with an audience
⚡️ Puscifer’s 20+ year evolution and ever-rotating creative family
⚡️ Why “anything goes” is the band’s true mission statement
⚡️ Balancing humor, intensity, and instinct
⚡️ Making records in hotel rooms, studios, and on the road
⚡️ The album’s sonic palette, guitars, synths, and aggression
⚡️ New characters, storylines, and the expanding Pusciverse via graphic novels
⚡️ What Normal Isn’t would taste like… if it were a wine 🍷

This is Puscifer unfiltered, playful, thoughtful, uncompromising, and deeply human.

January 28 At Home With HUDDY: From TikTok to Rock (and Finding His Voice)
Snickerdoodles fresh out of the oven, a “porn star martini” (yes, really), and a full-circle conversation four years in the making. 🍪🍸

In this intimate home hang, Allison Hagendorf welcomes HUDDY — 40M+ followers, a new rom-com on Tubi, and an artist stepping into his most honest era yet. Allison gave HUDDY his first music interview back in 2021… and now he’s back with a second album that’s louder, deeper, more rock-leaning, and radically more personal.

HUDDY opens up about:
⚡️ The 4-year journey to album two — 30 producers, real creative chemistry, and finally defining “the Huddy sound”
⚡️ Rock’s resurgence and why YUNGBLUD is a catalyst for the next generation
⚡️ Why he wrote “Fragile,” what it taught him about strength, and learning to talk about what you’re carrying
⚡️ Breakups, self-worth, living alone for the first time, and rebuilding from the inside out
⚡️ Touring, crowd work, stamina, and learning how to own the room — without blowing out your voice
⚡️ Success as connection: the songs that become someone’s soundtrack, not just someone’s scroll

This is HUDDY like you haven’t seen him, grounded, reflective, and stepping into freedom as an artist and a human.

January 02 The Making of “Zombie” — YUNGBLUD x The Smashing Pumpkins
Rock history collides in this behind-the-scenes look at “Zombie” — YUNGBLUD reimagined with The Smashing Pumpkins.
Filmed on set in a snowy graveyard, this intimate, cinematic moment captures what happens when two generations of rock connect in real time. YUNGBLUD and Billy Corgan reflect on legacy, urgency, imperfection, and why this collaboration feels less like nostalgia — and more like a shift.
From the raw energy of the performance to the creative decisions behind the sound and visuals, this is a rare window into how “Zombie” evolved into something darker, heavier, and deeply intentional — blending ’90s alternative spirit with modern urgency.
Featuring candid moments with YUNGBLUD, Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and the full Smashing Pumpkins band, this isn’t just a music video — it’s a statement about where rock is headed next.
Hosted by Allison Hagendorf, this behind-the-scenes piece captures the magic, emotion, and meaning behind one of the most talked-about rock collaborations of the year.

July 15, 2025 8 Ways to Stay Confident When the World Says No
What do you do when people in power don’t believe in you? When they tell you you’re wrong — or worse, ignore your vision completely?
In this episode, I’m sharing the 8 biggest lessons from my A&R years in NYC: how I went from answering phones to signing artists, backing future superstars like Juliette Simms, Katy Perry, and Mark Foster, and learning to trust my vision before the world caught up.
These are the moments that shaped me: the risks I took, the times I trusted my gut, and what I learned when the world said “no.” If you’re building your dream, creating your next chapter, or learning to believe in yourself again — this one’s for you.
👇 Let me know in the comments which lesson resonated with you most. And don’t forget to subscribe — this community is for people who want to live what they love.
