Hey y'all, today's the start of a month-long run of episodes and celebration of the Red

Hot Chili Peppers newest release, Unlimited Love.

You'll hear Rick Rubin in conversation with all four members of the band.

It's a fascinating and oftentimes hilarious collection of interviews that show just how

close these guys are and all the emotional ups and downs they've been through together

over the last 30 years.

If you're a diehard fan, you know why this release is so exciting.

Unlimited Love is their first record with guitarist John Fushante in 16 years.

John's is integral as any of the four members to unlocking the signature sound they've been

building on since the release of Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

In this episode, you'll hear John in conversation with Rick Rubin who stepped back into the producer's

seat for this release.

John tells Rick about his deep musical exploration as a young guitar player, how he fell in love

with the chili peppers as a teenager, and what it was like joining the band he becomes

such a fan of at just 18 years old.

Then at the end of the talk, Rick and John are joined by a very special guest.

This is Broken Record, line of notes for the digital age.

I'm Justin Richmond.

Here's Rick Rubin and John Fushante.

Let's go back up a long ways. Tell me about the first time you remember ever seeing or

hearing about the chili peppers.

First time you ever heard the name of the band.
