In this special simulcast edition of Zoom Into Books and The Big Time Talker Podcast, host Burke Allen sits down with New Jersey rock icon Wayne Oliveri, author of The Undiscovered Showman.

Wayne takes us behind the scenes of his decades-long music career, from playing CBGBs alongside Blondie and The Ramones to his friendship with a young Jon Bon Jovi.

He shares candid stories of near-misses in the music industry, the hard truths of rock and roll, and his continued passion for performing with his band, The New Bardots. If you've ever dreamed of life on stage, this episode pulls back the curtain on the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
