#134: The Man Who Can Play Any Song With Mike Estabrook

JAG Cast

It's a new year and the PIC are starting it off with a banger of an episode featuring the Thursday night Broken Goblet legend himself, Mike Estabrook! A staple of the Goblet for many years now, the host of both a regular request show and new open mic, he talks everything from making his way in the music business while holding down a day job, using iPads and QR codes to facilitate a 1,500 song request repertoire, and even being a closet cat influencer on Instagram! Plus, Mike drops some secret info on his upgraded acoustic show in the brand new Broken Goblet Mixing Room and the second-half of the show is dedicated to a brand new A Game Called Something! New questions! New answers! New fun! There is so much packed into this episode, you're sure to find something enjoyable. As a New Year's gift, stay until the end to hear Chrissie tell the tale of how a cat moved ITSELF into her house! Grab a Bubba's Tea, sit back and enjoy our wide ranging conversation with the one and only Mike Estabrook.
