Side 2: Track 8 – “Bad Mamma Jamma” – Mario Medious
Today, we start going behind the scenes to explore the inner workings of Atlantic Records through the eyes of people whose names rarely appear on album credits, and whose life's work is seldom celebrated. Mario Medious started in the accounting department, learning a side of the business often overlooked in the fast-growing music industry. Armed with a love for jazz and a passion for building relationships, he soon made a name for himself in promotions and special projects before leaving the label for a successful career in artist management. Adam, Dana and Joe talk shop with the original "Bad Mama Jama," who shares incredible insider insights.

Side 2 : Track 7 - “They Didn’t Say “Yo” Then” – Jimmy Douglass
Join Joe, Adam, and Dana for a one-on-one conversation with Jimmy "The Senator" Douglass, a formidable music producer and engineer with a career spanning over 60 years. Best known for his extensive work with Timbaland (who gave him his famous nickname), Missy Elliott, and Justin Timberlake, Jimmy shares the secret weapon behind his legendary career. He got his start as a teenager at Atlantic Records, watching Tom Dowd mix into the wee hours of the morning, learning from Arif Mardin, and collaborating with Joel Dorn. In this episode, he shares some beautiful, never-before-heard stories about the dads. ⚠️This one is definitely not for kids. When you put four people in a room who have known each other most of their lives, the filters come completely off. We marked this one explicit ahead of time!

"Bee Side" : Outtake (In Loving Memory) - David Brigati
Today, we officially flip the record and introduce "Bee Sides." Named after the B side of the quirky 1968 7-inch single by The Arif Mardin Chorus (the A side was “Evil Companions”), “Bee Side,” was written by Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin, arranged by Mardin, and produced by Dowd. This segment is our home for the unexpected. Moving forward, you will see "Bee Sides" and studio outtakes pop up sporadically as memorial tributes or deep dives into hyper-relevant music history. “Bee Side” - Outtake (In Loving Memory) - David Brigati our inaugural "Bee Side" is officially live. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we celebrate the incredible life, soaring harmonies, and lasting legacy of David Brigati—the brilliant vocal architect and "Fifth Rascal." A life well-lived, and a voice never to be forgotten. We love you, David. Drop the needle and listen now.
