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. Like, subscribe, and share to keep the pod rolling.

Comedian Deric Cahill stops by and joins us for a hilarious conversation that goes all over the place. We discuss parenting when you're on the road all the time, how Deric left his corporate job to start a chocolate company, and the DUI arrest that changed his life. He even invited the cop who arrested him to his show 13 years later. We also talk about making content for social media vs his standup act, getting comfortable with yourself and your art, and who's more racist, Boston or Texas.

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.

Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast archive episode with Cameron Winter, lead singer and songwriter of Geese.

Cameron discusses touring with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, growing up in New York, and forming Geese as kids at Brooklyn Friends School. He reflects on how the band planned on quitting after high school until they signed with Partisan Records. They also discuss Cameron's solo record Heavy Metal and how it pushed him in new creative directions.

This episode of the World Saving Podcast starts silly and quickly turns into a brutally honest look at the music industry in 2025. You will hear unfiltered talk about ego, gatekeeping, inflated touring costs, bus rentals, backline fees, and why festivals feel like a risky bet. It is part therapy session and part industry reality check.

The conversation then widens into community, capitalism, and whether modern music lost its rebel spirit. There is talk about audience expectations, Live Nation headlines, club economics, and what it takes to keep a band on the road. Things get weirdly fun with reality TV chatter about Love Is Blind in Denver, a detour into aliens and UAPs (also known as UFOs), like Atlas, plus how AI and copyright are changing creativity and marketing.

A timely call from comedy legend Todd Glass adds real perspective on progress, history, and why the next generation might actually fix some of this. It is raw, funny, and surprisingly hopeful.
