Making a podcast outta nothing at all. Actually Air Supply will help

Don't let their soft FM sounds fool you. Air Supply is composed of a couple of bad asses.

Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met in the '70s during a production of Jesus Christ Superstar and during their early days of their band, they even opened for AC/DC in the Aussie pub days. Seriously. These guys have NO fear.

Russell Hitchcock, the lead vocalist, even has a dozen or so tattoos, including a really explicit one of a naked angel on his back.

So imagine the fertile ground we'll cover when Stuck in the '80s interviews Hitchcock this Wednesday in preparation for Air Supply's Aug. 21 concert at the Ritz Ybor.

I have some questions in mind, but as always you're welcome to suggest more. Drop me a comment below. And then go cue up your Air Supply Greatest Hits CD. Because with Graham and Russell, even the nights are better.
