Every Playlist Tells A Story

In this episode, Todd talks Highway road trips; Emily talks top five songs to get you out of a slump and Jimmy talks about the ELO classic "Mr. Blue Sky" as well as his theory why Aerosmith is getting booted from Disney's Hollywood Studios Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

We continue stories from the middle of the rock concert. This time Jack talks about seeing REO Speedwagon in 2 different cities on the same day AND helped them change a tire on their limo. We talk live shows with Ozzy Black Sabbath, Dio Black Sabbath, Ozzy solo with Randy Rhoads and solo Dio in a Country Western bar in Indianapolis.

Lora joins us this week as we explore the remarkable career of Blue Eyed Soul king Mr. Michael McDonald. Lora answers "Jimmy's Get To Know You Questions", tells us about her hatred of red onions and her love of 90s music. We talk about our 4th of July events. And, of course, Jimmy does his ridiculous Mike McDonald impersonations.

As Todd continues his live event production tour of duty across the United States; Emily, Susie and Jimmy continue to not deliver on the now long promised Michael McDonald episode by distracting themselves with Emily's fun music trivia, Jimmy's Bigfoot adventures and Susie's recent trip to New Orleans. We also have this week's Top 5 Songs dedicated to Todd's current airport terminal work required flight adventures and we ponder the most important conspiracy out in the world today: Is Stevie Wonder really blind?

Todd is on assignment this week, so Emily & Jimmy bring in Yacht Rock/Little River Band enthusiast Susie to do a round of get to know Q&As plus a Top 5 of the week and a "Deep Thoughts with Emily" segment. The big questions this week is: If a documentary of your life was done, who would you hire to narrate and what song is playing during its opening credits?

The EPTAS Gang weren't able to get together this week for a new episode so we thought we'd go all the way back to where it all started and re-visit Episode 1.

The gang is back together again on #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory and we discuss Todd’s Alaskan adventure, Jimmy’s Marathon Mania and Emily’s upcoming first cruise. It’s Todd’s song choice this week and we are talking all things Ska. How long can you listen to a ska playlist? Let us know!
