The Cowsills Podcast

The holidays threw everything into overdrive, so this week there’s no guest—but instead, you get something even better: a real behind-the-scenes look at how this show actually runs. We’re taking you inside one of our latest team meetings to break down the logistics of life on the road, the challenges we face, and how we keep everything moving when things get hectic.It’s a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the engine behind the show—and we think you’ll love this unique perspective.

Hi everyone and WELCOME BACK! We are back in the saddle our studio is back up and running and please enjoy our first 2026 visit with our very own cousin Fred Presley singer, songwriter, whistleblower, systems thinker, City Manager, unbelievable . Great story great person.

Merry Christmas everyone YES we are Christmas people so from us to all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. So we had a little problem and the iPad we produce our episodes on went down and we are backlogged to resurrecting such studio so we're going to put an oldie goldie up to get us through the holidays and we'll check in with everybody after the new year which is right there as we know so hope your 2025 was fantastic and looking towards a even more fantastic 2026!  Enjoy the holidays!

We've received a lot of feedback about what a great great visit we had with Leland Sklar and what a great story he shared.  I would imagine there's not one person reading this that can say they were seriously mistaken for Santa Claus by a four year old.  We're just having a nice visit this week hope you enjoy the commentary lots of guests coming stay tuned

Hello everybody this week is such a special treat because we get to have a visit with the great renowned bass player Leland Sklar.  Leland has played bass for Phil Collins, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor and too many others to mention.  You've seen him everywhere ...the Bearded Wonder. It's a long episode but there was a lot to cover and it's all fascinating and grade A material ...just a fantastic story hope you enjoy it.

Hello all ... We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  Please enjoy our visit with 20-something '60's icon specialist Kit Frascella and you'll have to just listen to the episode to see what that means!  Enjoy your holiday wherever you are.

We've had so many recent guests with fantastic stories we decided to visit each other this week. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and here come the holidays!

Hello everybody welcome to our episode with guest Mark Lester.  Mark played "Oliver" in the great 1968 musical and has a great story to share.  So sit back and enjoy our visit. Susan gave up Davy Jones for this kid so he is something!

We thought it would be fun to have another sit down with Artie Kornfeld who's way more than the Cowsills and way more than Woodstock. More guests coming enjoy!

Hey everybody we hope you're all having a great autumn we had to let an episode go a couple of weeks due to travel situations but we hope you enjoy our episode ...got a lot of guests coming like Mark Lester, Mark Hudson (remember the Hudson Brothers?) and another visit with Artie Kornfeld so stay tuned for more!

Thank you everyone for your continuing support! Our wannahave guest, Mark Lester, is still in Italy so we're gonna wait for his return to a more manageable Time Zone to book. In the meantime let's have a visit!

WORTH THE WAIT!  Johnny Whitaker is WAAAYYYY more than that cute little kid on "Family Affair".  You will be amazed....and what a great guy.  We have to say this podcast has opened up so many avenues to so many people with such amazing histories. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

Well folks it finally happened.  We apparently experienced a technical difficulty and our guest, Johnny Whitaker, couldn't make it. So Johnny will be with us next week so we can do more than just talk about him in the meantime enjoy a short visit and we'll see you next week.

Hi everyone hope all is well as autumn approaches.  Just some ramblings today to pass some time.  Next week we have Johnny Whitaker from the "Family Affair " TV show. Have a great week!

Lenie Colacino spent the summer with us singing on the Hapoy Together tour with Jay and the Americans.  Of course we found out that Lenie is way more than just a background singer and, in fact, has his own absolutely amazing musical history and journey and he shares that with us including his run as Paul McCartney in "Beatlemania" on Broadway.  We hope you enjoy this episode we sure did!

We were alerted to a Facebook post by the Evans Family Band holding a sign up asking to meet the Cowsills and voila!  We have this week's guest and it is indeed the Evans Family Band. You should google them and listen before you hear from them in this episode. They are simply remarkable.  Sit back and enjoy this one what a cute super talented family!
