Behind every iconic moment in music, someone in the room made it possible — and never made the credits. Their children know the story. Now they tell it.
Launching Fall 2026 · Six episodes + a bonus + a live Q&A
Bob Dylan. Tom Petty. George Harrison. The Beastie Boys. The lawyer in the room narrated, at last, by his daughter — and franchise host.
Launching Fall 2026
The lawyers, managers and dealmakers who held up the stage while someone else stood on it. The B-Side gives them the credit — one season, one life, one child who was there.
Not a celebrity tell-all — a guided excavation. Each season centers on one uncredited figure and the child who sets out to tell their story, and discovers, in the telling, who that parent actually was. These stories are built to entertain first; the depth is real, but the ride comes first.
The lawyers, managers, engineers and dealmakers who held up the stage while someone else stood on it.
An offspring who lived inside the family narrates the story — and discovers something about their own heritage in the telling.
The subject's own recorded voice carries the story, the offspring reacts to the tape, the witnesses testify, and a franchise voice threads it together.
Born 1942 · Entertainment Lawyer
Bob Dylan. Tom Petty. George Harrison. Donna Summer. The Beastie Boys. A draft lawyer who never lost a single client — he kept Mark Harmon out of Vietnam, found the loophole that freed Tom Petty, and brokered a Napster deal that could have invented Spotify a decade early. The labels killed it.
From a Detroit coal chute to a shotgun in Watts to the room where the future of digital music died — a life that shaped an industry, whose name is on none of the records. He's eighty-four years old, and his daughter is ready to tell the story.
The method behind the show — the structured interview, the narrative extraction, the turn from raw memory into produced story — is a product. Not a ghostwriting service. A story engine.
"Your person, finally seen."
Automated capture into a clean, private digital archive. The interviews, the photographs, the voice — held safe in one place.
An AI-drafted, human-polished memoir chapter or short script — written in the subject's own voice.
Full B-Side production: a podcast-ready audio narrative — and a pipeline into future seasons of the franchise.
Every new season validates the method. Every customer is a potential future-season lead.
Daughter · Journalist · Storyteller
Erica spent her career telling other people's stories. Then she sat down with her father — and realized the most extraordinary one had been in her living room the whole time.
She anchors The B-Side the way Ira Glass anchors This American Life — opening every season and handing narration to each new offspring. She didn't just inherit the story. She earned the right to tell it.
Early episodes, the book excerpt, and franchise updates — for listeners, press, and partners. No noise, no hype.
