School (was) out, and Mac & Mike hit the road and take in some shows. Ticket upgrades at The Black Crowes, breakfast with Galactic…and what would summer be without a Dead & Company show? Sorry for the delay Riley. Enjoy.
Summer’s creeping in, and Mac & Mike are taking a short hiatus. They wanted to go out in style with an episode on everybody’s favorite (okay, Mike’s favorite) band…Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. See you in September. Thanks for listening.
Where does the time go? For the historic 10th episode, the boys share their long (Mac - 15-20 shows) and much shorter (Mike- 1 show) strange trip with the Grateful Dead.
It’s only rock and roll, but they like it. From the floor at Wembley to the cheap seats at RFK, Mac & Mike recall their adventures with the Rolling Stones.
It’s spring break, and Mac & Mike take a shallow dive into the world of Trop Rock....so grab a cheeseburger & a margarita, sit back and enjoy!
There are things known and things unknown, and in between are Mac & Mike trying to understand the allure of Jim Morrison.
Who’s the Boss? Marathon concerts and tucked in T’s, Mac and Mike can’t agree on the appeal of Springsteen.

Mike and John go back in time and relive their middle school days as wannabe Van Halen fans...
Amazingly, it has been 45 years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers formed. In this latest edition of The Mac & Mike Show, the boys look back at the ups and downs of this influential band. Topics include the wild life of frontman Anthony Kiedis, some memorable film roles, and that Rolling Stone cover. Plus, Mac reminisces about a Lollapalooza show from the early ‘90s. As always, thanks for listening.
From humble beginnings in an 8 Mile trailer park, Eminem rose to great heights and changed the rap game. For their first rap podcast, Mac & Mike are joined by Mike’s sons Harrison and Mason, who add some much needed youth to the episode. Along the way, the quartet answer all of your pressing questions. Can rappers grow old gracefully? Where is Eminem’s place on the Mount Rushmore of rappers? What is an Eminem show like on his current tour? All this and Brian Ham, on another action-packed episode of The Mac & Mike Show!
Piano rock, part II. How do you follow up an Elton John episode? With Billy Joel of course. Mac & Mike look back at the Piano Man’s long career, from his early days in a heavy metal band to his pinnacle as a ‘70s and ‘80s hitmaker. And don’t forget Christie Brinkley. Mike’s sister Debbie joins to reminisce about a 1994 Maple Leaf Gardens show.
With over 300 million albums sold, Elton John reached incredible highs in a career that spanned 6 decades. For episode 44, Mac & Mike explore all sides of Elton….the good (7 straight number one U.S. albums), the bad (drug and alcohol addictions), and the ugly (that Donald Duck costume). And that time you should have just gone to the show by yourself.
For the second annual Oscar Night At the Movies, Mac & Mike take a deep dive into the 2000 classic film Almost Famous. Writer and director Cameron Crowe’s semi-autobiographical love letter to rock and roll garnered two Oscar nominations for best supporting actress (Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand), and an Academy Award win for Crowe (Best Original Screenplay). And that soundtrack…
Singer. Influencer. Billionaire. Taylor Swift has firmly planted herself at the top of the pop world.

Kati and Harrison Rawn join to talk about their experiences at a couple of Wembley Stadium shows for The Eras Tour.
What is Athens, Georgia known for besides REM? Ever heard of Widespread Panic? Join Mac & Mike for a walk down memory lane to a simpler time of carefree road trips, Halloween costumes, and long hair as they try to decide if they even like this band and how Angelina Jolie got onto one of their album covers.
What happens when one of the greatest guitarists of his generation plays a concert in Bahrain? Nobody comes. Well, at least Mac & Mike showed up. In the latest episode they discuss the career of multiple Grammy winner Gary Clark Jr., his unique style, and the coolest venue to see a Middle East show.
Clapton is God. While that mid-60s graffiti symbolized the beginnings of Clapton as a guitar legend, he has been many other things during his six decades in the music industry. In this episode Mac & Mike try to come to terms with the good side of Clapton — unparalleled success in many bands, a triumphant final act that has him still recording albums at age 79 — to the bad — alcoholic, drug addict, racist rants. A complicated life and legacy for sure. As always, thanks for listening.
