Episode 200

Before the top hat, before the roaring solos that defined a generation, and long before the stadiums full of screaming fans, there was just a kid named Saul.

Born to a mixed-race couple in the UK — a free-spirited Black American artist mother and a white English album cover designer father — Saul Hudson’s early years were anything but typical. He spent his earliest days in the quiet English town of Stoke-on-Trent, a far cry from the wild energy of the Sunset Strip that would later become his playground.

At just six years old, Saul was pulled from the rainy streets of England and dropped into the vibrant chaos of Los Angeles, a city that would shape him, challenge him, and ultimately crown him as one of rock’s greatest icons.

This is the story of those early years — the influences, the chaos, the creativity — and how a quiet kid with a wild imagination became the legend we now know simply as Slash.

Crazy Horse was a Lakota warrior who stood for freedom, tradition, and resistance. Born around 1840, he grew up watching his people’s land and way of life threatened by U.S. expansion. Quiet, strong-willed, and deeply spiritual, he became a fierce leader—most famously at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where General Custer was defeated.

He never sought fame, never signed treaties, and never allowed himself to be photographed. To his people, he was a protector. To history, he remains a powerful symbol of courage, loyalty, and the fight to preserve a disappearing world.

Episode 198

On May 11th, 1985, football fans filled Valley Parade with hopes of celebration. Bradford City had just clinched promotion—their first title in 56 years. It should have been a day of joy, of triumph, of banners waving and voices raised in song.

Instead, it became one of the darkest days in English football history.

In just fifteen minutes, a fire tore through the Main Stand. It claimed 56 lives and scarred hundreds more. The tragedy was swift, brutal, and left a city and its club changed forever.

This is not just a story about disaster. It’s about what came after. About survival, grief, and rebuilding. About how football, even in its most tragic moments, reflects the spirit of a community.

And now, nearly forty years to the day, Bradford City rise again—promoted once more. A new chapter begins, always remembering the one that came before.
