Show notes

Welcome to Roadcase!! We're so psyched to have the amazing Andy Frasco on the show. Andy is a native L.A. dude -- which we love -- but more importantly, Andy is the ultimate hard-worker and road warrior. Having performed upwards of 250 shows a year for almost 10 years, he has built a huge following both on the road and with his successful podcast, Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast. Andy's live shows are full-on collective explosions of fun, great music, and a celebration of life, albeit at times quite over the top. But Andy has cooled his jets significantly as of late and has gained more focus on living healthy (relatively speaking), and preaching self-love and being present in the moment. The shift Andy has undergone is absolutely noteworthy in today's complicated times of uncertainty and emotional upheaval, and he now brings a very admirable self-reflective attitude that is both warm and refreshing. Andy is one of Roadcase's favorite people; his easy laugh and fun loving attitude make him the perfect guest. So jump onto the Roadcase bus for this simply awesome conversation with Andy Frasco. Hang on tight... it's a great ride!!
