Remember When....


"Remember When..... is a new podcast featuring stories and memories of older generations. The first episode features my dad, Bill Barrett. We talk about what it was like growing up in the local Chicago music scene in the '60s and '70s, his days working in radio, Billy Joel crashing in his bathtub, and lots more. I had an absolute blast sitting down with my old man and I hope you guys enjoy it just as much.

Halloween episode tonight!!!! Our favorite night of the year and we're joined by a very special guest, Dave Schwantes from the band Grave Danger. Talk about a perfect guest for the occassion. Dave is the everyman from the Chicago based gothic ska band. Inspired by Halloween and all it's glory, Grave Danger is like the Misfits of ska. Spooky music never sounded so upbeat. We sit and talk with Dave for the first half of the show then dive into some quick music news, and then close out the night with a Halloween horror movie edition of "Fake or Real". You guys can find Grave Danger on all social media platforms and check out their tunes on Spotify and Band Camp. Big thanks again to Dave for driving out to the burbs to get stupid with us for a little bit. Cheers!!!
