01
First Record
Every guest opens by playing the first record they ever bought — and confessing where they bought it.
Every weekday Marcus sits down at the big table with producers, session players, cover artists and comeback kids. Ninety minutes, no script, one rule: the guest picks the closing song and tells us why it matters.
Each episode moves through familiar rooms — you will learn the floor plan fast.
01
Every guest opens by playing the first record they ever bought — and confessing where they bought it.
02
An honest twenty minutes on the flop, the fallout or the fallow years — the bit other shows skip.
03
Marcus pulls three mystery records from the station wall; the guest must build a set from them on the spot.
04
The guest’s pick, played in full, with the story of why it earned the last word.
Your host
Marcus spent fifteen years touring as a session drummer before trading sticks for a microphone. He asks the questions only a fellow musician would dare to — and listens like the room depends on it.
Three more reasons to leave the dial exactly where it is.
