Music is Emotional and so is our Storytelling
This isn’t a podcast made from a couch or behind a desk. It’s recorded on the road, under glowing marquees, inside green rooms, and at the venue itself where the real stories of live music unfold. I’m inside it and you’re right there with me.
There’s crying, absurd chaos, and pure elation. It’s cinematic, intimate, and driven by theme and place. It's like the immersive reporting of NPR, fused with the backstage intimacy and stylish storytelling of an HBO rockumentary. You’ll hear stories from iconic venues, DIY warehouses, and analog spaces far off the map. I’ve recorded in snowstorms, on tour buses, at festivals, from the front row of songwriting rounds, and in parking lots with a finger in the air, searching for a miracle ticket.
And we’re just getting started. We’re about to launch a brand new VIDEO CHAT SHOW. So make sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and sign up for the newsletter below to get updates and behind-the-scenes stories.

From scrubbing puke out of venue bathroom urinals to late-night backstage conversations with bands, my college job at a live music venue combined with traveling to hundreds of venues as a fan and journalist became the foundation for Concert Cast, a storytelling network exploring the connection between music, travel, and identity told with empathy, energy, and fun.
I’m Kyle Lamont, a Concert Journalist, multimedia producer, photographer, and the Founder, Producer, and Host of Concert Cast. At the core of my work is making everyone I interview feel known. With a genuine love for listening and a deep curiosity about how music influences people’s lives, I invite guests to share stories that show why live music has the power to bring us to our knees.
