Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where’d You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.

WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?

This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.

Do not attempt to adjust your WYGYFF podcast, there is nothing wrong; we have taken control as to bring you this special show; we will return it to you as soon as you are grooving . . .

Featured in WYGYFF Episode 33: Classically trained funk keyboardist, singer, composer, producer and author Danny Bedrosian. For the past 20+ years, he has been best known as a central and touring member of Parliament-Funkadelic, a.k.a. George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars. During that time he has also appeared on numerous P-Funk and associated studio recordings and led many of his own projects, several of which feature fellow Funk Mob players. On his 2023 appearance on this channel's TRUTH IN RHYTHM show, he talked about his first book, “The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference: Official Canon of Parliament-Funkadelic, 1956-2023,” which fully documents the vast recording history of one of music’s most prolific and monumental acts. 

This fall has seen the release of his second book, “Make My Funk the P-Funk,” which documents Parliament-Funkadelic’s pivotal year of 1975 and the albums: Chocolate City, Let’s Take It to the Stage and Mothership Connection. This was the course that allowed listeners to make their funk the P-Funk, get their funk uncut, experience the bomb and forever wants to get funked up. That literature covering a seminal year of monumental music history sets the stage for a deep discussion between a pair of hardcore funkateers that any P-Funk, funk or music aficionado will adore.
