Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot take listeners on a hilarious and deeply nostalgic ride through the songs they once hid from their friends—but secretly loved. From disco denials to new-wave confessions, the guys relive the moments that shaped their musical tastes, including the awkward childhood discoveries, the high-school peer pressure, and the unforgettable “caught red-handed” stories. The episode jumps through decades of guilty-pleasure classics: Bee Gees falsettos, Motown gems, Frank Sinatra bombast, 80s pop anthems, techno nostalgia, Bonnie Tyler melodrama, Chicago love ballads, and even glam-rock oddities that neither host would have admitted to liking back in the day. Their personal stories—Halloween costumes gone wrong, uncomfortable car-ride reveals, and cringe-yet-iconic party moments—bring the music to life with humor and heart. The guys also celebrate modern rediscoveries, genre mashups, and the joy of embracing the songs they once hid “deep underground.” The episode caps off with a surprise clip from GART and a tribute spin from The Rods, tying together family, fandom, and the music that shaped them.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot close out The Audio Files season with a cinematic tribute to Cocoa Beach, the home of rockets, surfboards, and the Great American Restoration Tour. Broadcasting from the edge of liftoff, the duo blends 60 years of beach and space-inspired music, from Frankie Avalon’s Beach Blanket Bingo to Bowie’s Space Oddity and Flock of Seagulls’ Space Age Love Song. They trace the strange but beautiful collision of 1960s surf culture and NASA’s space program, weaving in punk, new wave, and glam rock detours along the way. Between stories of CanCon’s “spacey” beach party, Brad’s Jersey Shore nostalgia, and Jay’s Ace Frehley memories, this episode feels like a warm night by the ocean, equal parts nostalgia, laughter, and heart. The finale ends on a high note with Sinatra’s timeless Fly Me to the Moon, a song once played aboard Apollo 11 and now closing out the pre-GART celebration with style and soul.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot dedicate this episode of The Audio Files to processing the shock and grief of Charlie Kirk’s assassination through the power of music. They weave a journey from anger to resilience, curating songs that reflect raw emotion, unshakable defiance, and the hope needed to carry forward.

They share personal stories of concerts, mosh pits, and college experiences with intolerance, connecting them to Kirk’s own legacy of dialogue over violence. Along the way, they reflect on Codex 9/11 screenings, the Streisand effect amplifying Kirk’s message, and the broader cultural battle over free speech and indoctrination.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot dive headfirst into the 1960s British Invasion, tracing how the Beatles’ 1964 debut on The Ed Sullivan Show sparked a cultural explosion. They explore how the mop-top Beatles injected post-JFK-assassination America with joy and charisma, setting the stage for a flood of UK acts. From the Stones’ bluesy swagger and the Who’s proto-punk chaos to the Kinks’ distorted riffs and the Zombies’ haunting grooves, the hosts highlight how British bands reshaped American music while borrowing from U.S. blues and R&B. They dig into stories of staged hysteria, covers that outshone originals, and fights that got the Kinks banned from touring America. Along the way, they spin tracks from the Animals, Manfred Mann, the Yardbirds, and the Spencer Davis Group, tying it all to the seismic shifts in rock history. With personal anecdotes, humor, and even a nod to the “Paul is dead” rabbit hole, this episode captures how the British Invasion forever altered music, culture, and youth identity.
