The Third Men Podcast

Get ready to GO SOLO -- Strike out on your own as the Third Men Podcast tracks Jack White’s journey from group member to solo performer in GOING SOLO: part one of two.Since his entry to the national stage, Jack White was known to people as a member of a group. The White Stripes put him on the map, but The Raconteurs cemented his status as a rock god and the Dead Weather doubled down on the gothic grunge that had been bubbling under the surface. But from mid 2010-mid 2012, we really didn't know what move was next. So from the release of the Dead Weather's Sea of Cowards, to the debut of his solo masterpiece Blunderbuss, we take an extensive look at Jack's jam-packed transformation in our very first 2-part episode. (oh the irony!)Plus, Third Woman Clara from the Jack White Hub stops in to discuss the final installment of the Sea of Cowards era: Rolling in on a Burning Tire!
