You'll hear the guys talk about Jay's new visual autobiography RetroBlakesberg, his early days as a photographer shooting alternative rock bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Soundgarden, and why he loves shooting artists consistently throughout their careers. You'll also hear Jay tell the guys about some of his favorite moments shooting the Grateful Dead, the differences between digital and film photography, and much more.
