The first “Cast Away” interview appropriately took place aboard Jam Cruise 17 and features our own Scott Bernstein. Frasco was on the ship to perform with his band as well as conduct podcast interviews of his own. Andy and Scotty swap stories about their experiences launching music-centric podcasts, with Frasco detailing what led him to start saving the world one podcast at a time. Andy talks about some of the advice he’s received over the years from the likes of Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools, the late Col. Bruce Hampton and others. The two discuss some of Frasco’s memorable moments from interviews he’s conducted on his podcast like Brandon “Taz” Niederauer and Mimi Naja of Fruition. Frasco reveals some of the guests he’d still like to host on his podcast and much more throughout the chat.
