Music Industry Harsh Truths, Love is Blind, and Aliens
10/14/2025
Music Industry Harsh Truths, Love is Blind, and Aliens
This episode of the World Saving Podcast starts silly and quickly turns into a brutally honest look at the music industry in 2025. You will hear unfiltered talk about ego, gatekeeping, inflated touring costs, bus rentals, backline fees, and why festivals feel like a risky bet. It is part therapy session and part industry reality check. The conversation then widens into community, capitalism, and whether modern music lost its rebel spirit. There is talk about audience expectations, Live Nation headlines, club economics, and what it takes to keep a band on the road. Things get weirdly fun with reality TV chatter about Love Is Blind in Denver, a detour into aliens and UAPs (also known as UFOs), like Atlas, plus how AI and copyright are changing creativity and marketing. A timely call from comedy legend Todd Glass adds real perspective on progress, history, and why the next generation might actually fix some of this. It is raw, funny, and surprisingly hopeful. 👉 Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday 📲 Follow Andy on Instagram: @andyfrasco The World Saving Podcast is part comedy podcast, part music podcast — with raw musician interviews, funny podcast clips, and highlights from Andy’s adventures on the road.

EP 324: Trae Crowder
Comedian Trae Crowder breaks down rural politics, southern stereotypes & why Trump won over his hometown Podcast Website: Podcast Instagram: +++ Join Andy Frasco and Nick Gerlach for a raw conversation with Trae Crowder, the viral "Liberal Redneck" comedian, as he breaks down how his small Tennessee hometown went from blue to MAGA, why the opioid crisis devastated rural America, and how he uses comedy to challenge southern stereotypes. Trae gets real about growing up in a town with no traffic lights, losing his dad early, and becoming the political outcast who still loves his roots. From bombing at corporate gigs to crushing it at Comedy Works Denver, Trae shares hilarious stories about the comedy grind, dealing with death threats, and why people assume he's a Trumper based on his accent. Plus, he explains the difference between southern fakeness and LA fakeness, and why he's done trying to change MAGA minds—he'd rather change how coastal liberals see the South.
