[Moon Apothecary Radio, Episode 13]
Without Stax Records, we wouldn't have Southern soul music.
I take you on a ride to the Watts Summer Festival of 1972. I talk about Stax Records and learn about its origin story along with two live recordings from the 1972 vinyl record album Wattstax.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
