The Real Janis Joplin: Her Brother Michael Sets the Record Straight
<p>What's it like to grow up in the shadow of a rock and roll legend...and then spend your life protecting her legacy? This week, Chris sits down with <strong>Michael Joplin</strong>, younger brother of the incomparable <strong>Janis Joplin</strong>.</p><p>Michael was still in high school when Janis died at 27, learning of her passing from a classmate before his own family could tell him. In this warm, funny, and surprisingly intimate conversation, he pulls back the curtain on the Janis the press never showed: a close-knit Port Arthur, Texas family; parents who ran a "debate society" at the dinner table and taught their kids to think for themselves; and a big sister who stood up against racial injustice in South Texas long before anyone called it activism.</p><p>Michael shares the family's memories of watching Janis on The Ed Sullivan Show, the San Francisco scene through Chet Helms and the Avalon Ballroom, her explosive "coming out party" at the Monterey Pop Festival, and the famous fallout with promoter Bill Graham. He also opens up about the weight, and the honor, of being the "backbone" of Janis's estate alongside his sister Laura, and how he still asks one question before every decision: would this fit what my sister would want?</p><p>It's a rare, personal portrait of one of music's most iconic voices, told by someone who knew her before the world did.</p><p>🎶 Janis: The Musical is on tour now: find dates at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://JanisJoplin.com">JanisJoplin.com</a>.</p><p>Enjoy the episode?

Gary Stromberg: PR Man to the Stones, the Arrests, and the Road to Recovery
<p>Chris O'Dell reunites with her longtime friend Gary Stromberg, the co-founder of Gibson and Stromberg PR and the man behind some of the biggest names in music history, including The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Ray Charles, Muhammad Ali, and Barbara Streisand. Gary shares the story of landing the Stones account after a surreal one-on-one with Mick Jagger at the Marion Davies estate, the night Keith Richards got arrested on tour (with Gary not far behind), and what it was really like inside the machine of 1970s rock and roll. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Gary opens up about his addiction, his recovery through AA, and how sobriety led him to rebuild his career doing PR for treatment centers including Cottonwood, where Chris once worked. Two old friends. A lifetime of stories. And a reminder that making it out the other side is worth celebrating.</p>
