Jeffy McJefferson and Rayette reveal the origin story of Almost Famous Radio Podcast while sharing how their unedited, authentic conversation style became the show's signature format. Our humble backyard studio project evolved from bar conversations into a global podcast with listeners across multiple continents.
• The podcast began with Jeffy's unrealized dream of working in radio
• Instead of focusing on a single topic, they capture authentic "table talk" conversations
• Initial reluctant co-hosts like Rayette and Ricker eventually became regular participants
• Several friends have appeared as guests, creating diverse perspectives and experiences
• The podcast has helped strengthen friendships and build connections
• Global listeners tune in from Germany, Japan, England, Chechnya and across the US
• Technical philosophy of "unedited radio" means listeners hear everything authentically
• Multiple ways to connect: website, email, Facebook and TikTok

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
