Even if it Kills Me is a narrative documentary podcast, chronicling the lives of Jon, Ryan, Mac and Pete as they set out across the country and try to make it as rockstars in the bygone era of the ‘00s. Each episode uses contemporary interviews and archival recordings to pull back the curtain on the nitty-gritty inner workings of tour life, all unfolding during the music industry’s own fall of Rome, as massive technological shifts upended business models that had existed for decades.

The band grapples with crafting a successor to their debut album for the record label. Opting to part ways, they embark on a final headline tour, which falls short of expectations. One of the guys exits days before the tour's conclusion, leaving the remaining members to complete the journey without him.
