Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast

This two-hour holiday special of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast is a chaotic, honest, and hilarious end-of-year hang featuring deep laughs, uncomfortable truths, tour stories, and zero polish, exactly how this podcast is meant to be experienced. The episode includes extended conversations with Todd Glass, touching on stand-up comedy, mental health, creative burnout, vulnerability, and why embracing absurdity might be the only sane response to the world right now. Todd's segments are so funny you can hardly believe him, but this is far from a one-guest show. Andy Frasco and the crew also bounce through music industry chaos, life on the road, friendships, holiday stress, personal growth, and what they are thankful for this holiday season. It's a blending of comedy podcast energy with music-scene honesty and classic World Saving Podcast derailments. This episode is perfect for long drives home for the holidays, flights, late-night listening, or post-holiday decompression.

Andy and Nick sit down with STS9's Hunter Brown and Alana Rocklin for a very jam band episode of the World Saving Podcast. They dive into The Human Dream, STS9's new concept-leaning record, why it captures what Sound Tribe really sounds like in 2025, and how their Santa Cruz environment and the devastating Big Basin fire shaped the music. They get honest about the modern jam band scene, from fan tribalism to former member Murph playing the old songs again, and why Hunter refuses to treat music like sports rivalries. There is also a frank talk about the brutal economics of touring, Red Rocks, and why even successful bands are rethinking how they hit the road as costs skyrocket. Alana opens up about raising a kid while living the musician life, losing her home in the fire, and turning that trauma into bass lines and new songs. Hunter gets into mindset, hypnotherapy, "being a great number two," and what a more human music world could look like. If you love STS9, jam bands, live music culture, or just unfiltered conversations about art, music, and survival, this one is for you.

Comedian Deric Cahill stops by and joins us for a hilarious conversation that goes all over the place.

Jake Owen just released a new album, Dreams to Dream. In this conversation we don't talk about that at all; instead we go deep on his family life, mindset, and competitive nature. We also touch on how Nashville has changed over the years, antics with his twin brother, and the roundabout way he got to live his father's dream by golfing with Jordan Spieth at Pebble Beach and talking trash to Phil Mickelson. 👉 Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday 📲 Follow Andy on Instagram and TikTok: @andyfrasco and @worldsavingpodcast Call and leave us a message and we might respond to you on the show: (720) 996-2403 The World Saving Podcast is part comedy podcast, part music podcast — with raw musician interviews, funny podcast clips, and highlights from Andy's adventures on the road.
