Volume.com has signed an exclusive deal with Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast to feature live podcast episodes and special events throughout 2023. This partnership is timely as May is Mental Health Month, and Frasco’s podcast is known for its discussions on mental health, addiction, and life with prominent figures in the entertainment industry. The podcast has reached an audience of over 45 million people, featuring guests such as Andrew McMahon, Tony Hawk, Melissa Etheridge, LP, and Nathaniel Rateliff, among others.
As a fellow touring artist, Frasco’s straightforward hosting style instantly sets guests at ease and encourages them to open up in ways they may have not been able to before. It’s like talking to an old friend.
The creation of his podcast has been a cathartic journey for Frasco who used it as a vehicle to investigate his own mental health. While it seemed Frasco was living out his rock and roll dreams on his 2019 and early 2020 tours, he was facing internal darkness few knew about.
“I hit a breaking point,” he explains. “I was sitting alone in my van, and I realized that I didn’t know who my friends were. Worse, I didn’t know who I was. I was drinking too much, I was addicted to cocaine, and I was dealing with really heavy depression. I even contemplated suicide, but I decided that if I’m fortunate enough to leave behind a legacy, I didn’t want to be remembered just as some good-time party guy. I wanted to show people that I’m more than the crowd-surfing, Jameson-drinking maniac they see onstage.”
Off the road, Andy struggled to corral his ‘can’t stop, won’t stop’ energy and after walking in circles for a few days, he decided he needed an outlet to discuss life, music, sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll and so much more with notable people who he can relate to and thus Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast was born.
