The Rock Pod

Your backstage pass to the wildest stories in rock 'n' roll history.

Hosted by Jimmy—rock trivia junkie, liner-note addict, and guy who still thinks cassettes were underrated—The Rock Pod takes you deep into the music, mayhem, and madness behind the legends.

From epic albums and infamous feuds to one-hit wonders and vanishing acts, each fully scripted episode is a mix of deep research, dry humor, and serious love for all things loud.

New episodes weekly on Tuesday and Friday. Classic rock, glam, grunge, punk, and everything in between.

All Killer! No Filler!

Press play. Crank it up. And remember: there's no such thing as too much cowbell.
