Baxie talks with author Gina Waggott about her new book “Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Pop Star”. This is an astonishingly story of the late John Larkin whose 1994 single “Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) became an international sensation. What makes his story so incredible is that he was a 52-year-old jazz musician who survived drug addiction, recovery, child sexual abuse, bullying, and crippling isolation and insecurity from a lifetime of stuttering. It’s a story of a man who embraced his challenged and turned them into a superpower! Gina talks about the book but also about her friendship with Scatman John and how he helped her accept her own issues with stuttering. One of the greatest stories ever!

It’s a very special encore interview with legendary producer Martin “Youth” Glover! This is one of my favorite episodes ever! Not only because we talk about some his production credits such as working with Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Gun & Roses, U2, Kate Bush, The Verve, and many others. But also, because he was the longtime bass player from one of my all-time favorite bands: Killing Joke. An absolute thrill of an interview!

Baxie talks with singer/songwriter Janet Devlin. This is a truly amazing conversation with a woman who has gone from being a 16-year-old girl from Northern Ireland to being thrust into the national spotlight as an X Factor finalist. And if her story stopped there it would still be a hell of a story. But Janet’s story is MUCH more than that. Instead, Janet has battled alcohol abuse, and eating disorder, and mental illness—only to come out on the other side healthier and stronger than ever before. In 2023 she produced a powerful documentary entitled “Janet Devlin: Young Female and Addicted”. She's also just released an expanded, deluxe edition of her 2024 album “Not My First Emotional Rodeo”.
