Summary

Being a musician is tough- streaming services keep all the money, crappy diss tracks go viral on TikTok, and now AI is muscling in on the action. It's no wonder so much bad music today is being cranked out by corporations instead of singer songwriters.

But, despite all these obstacles Tom Goss makes it work. Now after millions of views, his hit song Bears, a playful tribute to Gay Bears, is now a decade later being rediscovered by straight butch radio jockeys on 98.5 The Sports Hub from Boston.

It’s moments like this that can propel an artist into the big leagues, when people who don’t normally listen to their music get excited to enjoy something new.

Today former college wrestler, Catholic priest in training, bear enthusiast Tom Goss joins us to reflect on the impact of being “rediscovered” by straight sports jocks on the radio program Toucher and Hardy.
