Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, everyone, this is Jake Brennan from Disgrace Land. I
want to talk to you about a new podcast from
my Heart Radio called Icons Ever wonder how our most
iconic stars get to the top, What makes them tick,

a big turning point, and Ray Charles and Fats Domino,
they you know, the revolutionized piano playing. For me, that's
