There’s something special about a stripped-down episode—no crew, no chaos, just a host, a microphone, and whatever unfolds in the moment. That’s exactly the energy Brad Brock brought to this week’s episode of Jams ‘N’ Cocktails Live, broadcasting solo from the legendary JNC Lounge as rain crept in and set the tone for the night.

In this April Fools–inspired installment, host Brad Brock is joined by Derek Zugel and Steve “The Bruce” for a night that blends absurd humor, unexpected emotion, and a surprisingly thoughtful dive into humanity’s future in space.

In this episode of Jams ‘N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock and his crew take listeners on a nostalgic yet revealing journey into the golden era of alternative rock radio—and the forces that led to its sudden disappearance.
