About this Episode
For over four decades Bruce Springsteen has been The Boss. Combining profound but accessible, empathetic, and comforting lyrics buoyed by anthemic melodies that can electrify stadiums, Bruce and his collaborators in the E-Street Bad embody the spirit within all of us that yearns to be moved, and to be free. Tramps like our guests, improviser Dan Oster (MadTV, "A Podcast, But Evil") and comedian / musician Dylan Ris (www.lostmoonradio.com, www.themoonunits.com), were born to run for one of the greatest musicians and singer/songwriters in American history.
