My great friend Mike Genovese and I share a passion for the music of Frank Zappa. We like to consider ourselves amateur historians of his music. We enjoy talking about this stuff so much that we thought there might be other people who would like to listen and join in as well so we decided to do a podcast of everything Frank Zappa.

Understanding the processes which led to the development of Frank’s music is the primary goal. Also listening to the puzzle pieces that Frank offers puts us in the position of being almost like detectives trying to solve a mystery case. We don’t claim to know everything about Frank. The only thing we can assure you is that our motivation is our passion for Frank’s genius. These podcasts are not about us, but FZ only.
