”Johnny Goudie is the Marc Maron of Austin music. The veteran singer/guitarist – best known for fronting early Nineties pop band Mr. Rocket Baby and, later, his major-label rock act, Goudie – stepped up to the microphone with a new intention in 2011 and launched the How Did I Get Here? podcast. Now 840-some episodes in, the hourlong, twice-weekly interview show gives the host a platform to really connect with his Austin music guests, not just on what’s happening in their careers, but also in the shared experience of music appreciation – and that’s where he truly shines.” -The Austin Chronicle 2019

Hello friends! "Home Free" writer/producer, Lenny Barszap and GRAMMY® Award-winning musician-producer Adrian Quesada (Black Pumas) who did the score and soundtrack for the movie are my guests for episode 1456! The "Home Free" soundtrack is out TODAY wherever you stream or download music. You can also get the double-vinyl HERE on Nine Mile Records and features members of The Beastie Boys, The Pharcyde, Dinosaur Jr., Luscious Jackson and more. "Home Free" is based on the real-life experience of Onion Creek Productions founder and director/producer Aaron Brown and writer/producer Lenny Barszap of Entertaining Entertainment. In 1997, as sophomores at the University of Texas at Austin, Brown and Barszap invited an unhoused philosophy professor to crash on their porch – where they hosted several parties, many of which their friend and fellow UT Austin student at the time, Adrian Quesada, also attended. Twenty-five years later, this became the premise for the film “Home Free,” which explores profound themes of friendship, personal growth, and social impact through the lens of comedy (think Dazed & Confused meets Superbad). Go to beenthere.org to find out more about the movie and soundtrack. Great conversation. Let's get down!
