how did i get here?
”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! I hope you're all healthy and sane. On July 11, 2000, My old band, Goudie released our debut album, Peep Show on TMC/Elektra. TMC was a "vanity label" owned by Metallica Drummer, Lars Ulrich. Today I am joined by my Goudie bandmate, Einar Pedersen to talk about our experience of putting Goudie together with Jimmy Messer and Bill Lefler, writing, recording, getting signed after a year of forming, dealing with Lars, making Peep Show twice, rock stars, Napster, our own shortcomings and the three years that were Peep Show and much more. It was fun and cathartic talking through this experience with my dear old friend and musical partner, Einar. If you are a fan of the album or the band, this might answer some questions as to what happened to us. Let's get down!
