On Season 02, Episode 30 we have our first return guest: the incredible John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting!

Five for Fighting is the multi-platinum selling moniker of singer/songwriter John Ondrasik, who on the back of hits like “Superman,” “100 Years,” “Chances,” “The Riddle,” and “Easy Tonight,” has become one of the most renowned balladers of the past 25 years. 

John joins us to preview the upcoming String Quartet tour, a full-band summer headlining run with guests Vertical Horizon, a brand-new version of his iconic hit “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” to benefit the Hamas hostages, and so much more. 

We also dive DEEP into the process behind his biggest hits, and revisit his strangest load-in’s. It’s a lot of laughs, and it was an absolute honor to have him back.
