About this episode
Ian speaks to Franz Nicolay of The Hold Steady about his new book Band People: Life and Work in Popular Music and the concepts explored therein: building a life as a working musician, the rise and fall of the session player, the rock band as an aristocracy, the nature of touring, parenting as a musician, and money—the root of all evil.
