Ale Baray is crushing on a diverse playlist about the human condition—warts, beauty, and all

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Ale Baray is a self-described “music curmudgeon” and having him as my first guest is an absolute dream come true. I’ve known Ale for over 25 years, we've had lots of adventures, he was my best man, and I have long admired his incredible depth of knowledge in a huge variety of popular (and not so much) music. He's also the owner of 10,000+ vinyl collection plus CDs and more musical collectibles. Music is crushing him as much as the other way around!
