Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast

Andy Frasco and Nick welcome rising bluegrass troublemakers, Magoo, to the World Saving Podcast for an interview that starts unhinged and then gets genuinely heartfelt. The conversation opens with tour-life, stories about the "rock band" era (opening for Buckcherry, shiny pants, chaos, ego, and bad decisions) before sliding into what really shapes musicians: sobriety, heartbreak, and the moments you realize you can't keep "sending it" forever. There's also an insane story about one of the members of the band getting attacked by a bear.
Magoo gets into the turning points, festival misadventures, waking up in the wrong place, chasing the wrong people, and learning the hard way that the band comes first. From there, the episode dives into identity and craft: how bluegrass overlaps with metal and jam music, why improv is such a huge part of their live show, and how you translate that energy into a studio record without losing the magic.

This week on the World Saving Podcast, Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Nancy Wilson joins Andy Frasco and Nick for an interview that covers the entire span of her career. They talk about scoring movies like Elizabethown and Almost Famous, being a trailblazing woman guitarist in a male-dominated industry in the 70s, what's next for Heart in terms of albums and a movie, and much more. She also discusses what it was like switching up their sound in the 1980s to keep up with the times and how she has stayed creative during her five-decade career as a bona fide rock star. Tune in this week for one of the best music interviews yet with plenty of fun facts you've never heard before about Nancy Wilson's career.

Andy Frasco sits down with Wolves of Glendale for a wildly honest, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation about comedy music, blowing up online, and saying "yes" when the universe nudges you. They break down how Wolves of Glendale went from Berklee kids and side projects to opening for Tenacious D, selling out shows, and building a massive fanbase. You'll hear how comedy and musicianship collided to create something real, plus why testing songs live, embracing failure, and trusting your gut still beats "posting at the right time." The crew also dives into Iron Songwriter, their new time-crunch songwriting series that turns movie lines into full songs in under an hour. If you're a musician, comedian, creator, or just someone trying to figure out how the hell anything works anymore, stick around.

Andy Frasco and Nick ditch the guest format and go fully unfiltered on this episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, tackling one of the most honest conversations in the jam-band world, including who needs to quit and why.
The episode spirals into a ruthless (and mostly bleeped) breakdown of bands that should probably hang it up, bands that should come back, and why the scene feels oversaturated right now. From there, the target shifts to managers, why so many are five years behind, terrified of other managers, and still throwing money at the same tired marketing playbook.
They also dig into the state of the music industry, from festival economics and oversaturation to why so many bands refuse to quit and why managers keep recycling the same outdated ideas. It's an inside look at how scenes get clogged, why presales matter, and what actually hurts live music in 2026.
Producer Jack drops in to relive his destination wedding in Barbados, which was launched by a brutally honest rant about weddings, bridal showers, and the social pressure to spend thousands to prove you're "supportive." From gift fatigue to travel weddings and the misery of being too high up in the wedding party, Andy and Nick argue that the only winning move is being the seventh-best friend.

Amigo the Devil joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for an honest conversation about grief, coincidence, creativity, and what happens when life resets you overnight.
This episode starts with Andy and Nick setting the scene, then Danny opens up about losing his home in a fire, what it meant to him, and the strange twist that he was recording a different song as it was happening. They talk about the shock of having no warning, the whiplash of going on tour while still processing it, and the painful irony of realizing how many lyrics in his catalog reference fire.
Danny also breaks down his songwriting process, including the "blank white room" mental space he uses to clear out noise and find intention before purpose. The conversation drifts into being present, chasing the next thing, living in the dark long enough for your eyes to adjust, and learning to save a little kindness for yourself.
It is heavy, it is funny in the way only real friends can be funny, and it is one of the most vulnerable episodes we have ever recorded.
Trigger warning: discussion of house fire, loss, and trauma.
