29 Jun 2020 | PIBC#46- Bobby Schneck | 00:45:48 | |
This weeks interview is with Guitar Tech and Guitar Player Bobby Schneck. OK, maybe it's player then tech... listen long enough and you'll hear which way it is. I had the pleasure traveling with him in the early 2000's. Our backgrounds are different but our playlists are surprisingly similar. | |||
06 Jul 2020 | PIBC#47-Rich Locklin | 01:19:55 | |
This week we talk to Lighting Director Rich Locklin, who's worn many hats over the years.

As we wander from home and into the sacred spaces, we want you to know that no sage was burnt during the recording of this weeks show. | |||
12 Jul 2020 | PIBC#48- Ricky "Chain$aw" LaPointe | 01:15:09 | |

20 Jul 2020 | PIBC#49- Chad Zaemisch | 01:12:04 | |

27 Jul 2020 | PIBC#50- Terry Lawless | 01:02:57 | |

06 Aug 2020 | PIBC#51- Jerry Manuel | 01:06:37 | |
Yeah, I had all kinds of artsy "deep" questions for our guest and what do you know, we got road stories and a lot of laughs. Point 5 is a story teller and has gigged forever. Let him break-it-down for ya! | |||
10 Aug 2020 | PIBC#52- Kevin O'Connor | 01:24:05 | |
A founding member of Bitterman Circle, Kevin discusses housecoats, cake and ethics. Will the pandemic end or retirement come first? Who can say? After finding civilized touring it seems a shame to walk away. | |||
18 Aug 2020 | PIBC#53- Mason Wilkinson | 01:05:57 | |
There are a lot of moving parts on a tour of every size. Who coordinates the departments, the band and the audience? A production manager has to make sure that the show can get in the door and be ready for the audience in a timely and safe manner. Mason has been a part of live music in many different roles for some time now and has a view of the current situations. | |||
24 Aug 2020 | PIBC#54- Justin Crew | 00:51:22 | |
Justin Crew is a world class guitar tech who has worked with the best in the biz. With all the places and shows he's been to, you'd think he'd seen it all. Then comes Covid-19 and an invitation to get inside a truly 21st Century Bubble. Another opportunity to stay cool and do the job at hand... | |||
30 Aug 2020 | PIBC#55- Steve "Chopper" Borges | 01:24:50 | |
Steve "Chopper" Borges' name has come up more than a few times in Bitterman Circle as many of our guests have been on the road with him. From his early days with The Tubes as a props guy to some of rock's "royalty" production manager, he's a guy you want when a problem needs to be solved. He also has some interesting takes on a post-Covid touring world. | |||
07 Sep 2020 | PIBC#56- Rob Koenig | 01:02:39 | |
What do Rocket From The Crypt and Air Supply have in common? Rob K tells us about his path, why walking the dog may bring on the apocalypse and why the first show post-Pandemic will need to be documented. | |||
14 Sep 2020 | PIBC#57- Will Jennings | 01:08:02 | |
Today we travel into the snowy mountains of Colorado to find a founding member of Bitterman Circle rebuilding ancient piano parts with the help of the local rodent fauna, which apparently had its way with the internet connection from the get go. Guitar guys get to do drop tunings on guitar but this guy had to do them on a Grand! It's all fun until someone pokes their eye out. Well, maybe. | |||
22 Sep 2020 | PIBC#58- David Morgan | 01:26:42 | |
There are those who go way WAY back in your career and Dave for me is one of those. We spent many years doing Paul Simon live together. In the past few years we've worked on James Taylor. This podcast came from 2 conversations this month following a file flop I had on the first one. Through a little audio butchery and editing here it is. | |||
20 Nov 2020 | PIBC#59- Abigail Potter | 00:55:15 | |
There is a language that is used by live event people; some of it still has to be translated so that the show can go on. Abi is a linguist, a problem solver and a great tour manager. She is also proof of the fact that people who do this can find their way in by backing into it. It takes what it takes! We discuss the road, the people we've met and how some women have to be to deal with the boys club. | |||
01 Dec 2020 | PIBC#60- Maryjo Spillane | 01:00:02 | |

08 Dec 2020 | PIBC#61- Beckie Campbell | 00:54:39 | |
Beckie is a FOH mixer, production manager and podcaster who I have had the great pleasure to work with. She tells us about what her role is in a digital sound world. She also has pictures of me sleeping in the front lounge so be nice to her. Check out her podcast at https://soundgirlspod.podbean.com/ | |||
23 Dec 2020 | PIBC#62- Sulli Sullivan | 00:58:34 | |
Sulli is your typical one-of-a-kind backline tech, spending over 30 years making it work and keeping cool. It doesn't matter if it's a club or big outdoor stage, she's left her prints all across the live music world. |
