Rock N Roll Story Guys

Brian and Murdock are two best friends who dig into the rumors, backstage drama, and little-known details surrounding some of the biggest names in rock history. Rock N Roll Story Guys has been running since 2019 with 109 episodes, and the biweekly format keeps the research quality high. Each episode runs about 35 to 47 minutes and typically focuses on a single artist or band conflict: Tom Petty's war with the Australian music industry, AC/DC's complicated relationship with original singer Bon Scott, Harry Nilsson's self-destructive Hollywood years, the Go-Go's surviving a home invasion. The 4.5-star rating from 108 reviewers reflects the show's strength as a storytelling podcast first and a music podcast second. Listeners frequently mention that even episodes about artists they don't particularly care about end up being compelling because the hosts know how to structure a narrative. The chemistry between Brian and Murdock comes through as genuinely friendly rather than forced. They do their homework, cite their sources, and approach even the messiest rock stories with something closer to journalism than gossip. If you want the kind of rock stories that make you immediately text a friend saying "did you know this happened," this show is full of them.
