CURRENT EPISODE

Whether you’re a musician or a fan, a writer or an instrumentalist, MUSIC is our common denominator. On INTO THE MUSIC, darn near all we discuss is music. Join us for insightful discussions with interesting guests as we journey INTO THE MUSIC.
To say that The Mascot Theory created their new album, Cosmic Hit and Run, under pressure would be an understatement. They set out to create a concept album about helplessness, loss, grief, healing, and hope and in the process they lived it all. The finished product is nothing short of brilliant. Although each song can stand on its own, within the narrative of Cosmic Hit and Run they make for an incredible listen from beginning to end both musically and lyrically. Taking what they learned from working with producer Terry Manning and building on that, they have released what could be their—dare I say it?—masterpiece. Cosmic Hit and Run isn't just an album, it's a journey—one that you'll want to repeat often.
This episode features an Into The Music first! Part of this show is an on stage interview with the band recorded at the Cosmic Hit and Run release gig in front of a live audience at Gibson Community Music Hall in Appleton, WI on October 3, 2025.
