Episode 15

UNREDACTED! Guitars and the Epstein Files

This episode is about guitars in unexpected places.

Like...the Epstein Files.

Yes. There are guitars in the Epstein Files.

There are also dishwashers.

Does this mean that Jeffrey Epstein had a thing for guitars? Or dishwashers? Nah, it doesn't. But it does mean that guitars are everywhere in our world. Even in the world of one of the most despicable people to have ever shared our world.

Some of the instances of the word "guitar" in the Epstein Files are dumb. But others seem to tell stories. Telling stories about and with guitars is what this podcast is about.

This episode is also partially about the guitar and gender. Which has a lot to do with the stories. And there's some personal editorializing. Sorry, not sorry.

It goes off the rails a bit, but it does that in under 20 minutes.

And by the end the episode, I think you'll see where I'm going with it.
