  • From the Archives: Mick Fleetwood Skates Back into the Charts
    May 27 2025

    Mick Fleetwood is the drummer and a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, one of the most successful rock bands of all time. Fleetwood talks to Alec about how dyslexia led him to the drumming, how supportive parents encouraged his talent and his move to London as a teenager, how his friendship with the band’s founder, guitarist Peter Green, evolved to a life-long friendship, and how Fleetwood Mac balanced the weight of their interpersonal dynamics and the band’s wild, over-the-top success. The band’s 1977 album Rumors broke through Billboard 100 again last year thanks to a Tik Tok of a man on a skateboard lipsyncing to Dreams and introduced a whole new generation to Fleetwood Mac’s beautiful, enduring music.

Featured Article: The Best Interview Podcasts to Listen to Right Now


The interview has been a powerful form of entertainment and revelation since long before podcasts came around. There's little as compelling as listening to an in-depth and intimate conversation between a skilled interviewer and someone with a story to share. Interviews can teach us about ourselves and the world; introduce us to new ideas and ways of thinking; offer insight into smart, fascinating people; provide new perspectives, and so much more.

This is my first review for anything that I've heard on Alec Baldwin's podcast..... I do like Jones music but sorry to hear him be so cocky in this interview , and how he is so proud that he still sleeps around with all these different women, he seems to think that this is a good thing.... and then he did this to his wife for all those years kind of makes me think of him now as a d•umb scum•bag..... just trying to be honest, and looks like he won't be growing up in his lifetime.... I've pretty much fully lost respect for him.

needs to grow up
