The episode features an interview with Mike Doughty, exploring the realities of being in a touring band and the culture surrounding it.

“Here We Are” indulges in GenX fandom this episode as we interview Mike Doughty: the lead singer and founder of the alternative band “Soul Coughing”, one of my favorite musical jams from the tail end of the last century. We find out what it actually like being a professional music touring group …is it really sex, drugs, and rock and roll? We discover tales of mostly hard slogging in creative fervor and the resulting madness. Send a text Support the show
