The Rider is a series of podcast and video interviews that get the gritty details from some of rock and roll’s greatest. From the process of bringing an album to life, to the gigs, the parties and everything in between. Fans want to know the hard work that goes into bringing entertainment to the masses and how the rock stars manage it all.
This podcast is an ode to the rider: the thing that gets musicians through the grind of a tour and the punishing schedule of late nights and red eye flights. Whether it’s their favourite brand of whiskey, or sweet, mellow tunes to get an artist in the zone.
Most of all, The Rider gives true fans access to the raw, unfiltered experience of loving rock and roll. Listeners will feel like they’re knocking one back at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on Sunset Strip.
Becko has been rocking on the airwaves since 1997. This podcast is his tribute to decades of interviewing rock and roll superstars from Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Angus Young, Gene Simmons, Billy Joe Armstrong, Kevin Parker and Mike Shinoda.
His most recent stint with Triple M in Sydney, Australia over 13 years saw Becko conduct a number of exceptional interviews, including heading backstage in Santiago, Chile to interview Iron Maiden for the start of their Legacy of the Beast tour in 2019. (Remember when we could travel?)
These interviews have struck a chord with listeners getting write ups in Rolling Stone, NME and local music press. These are interviews that gets people talking, gets the listeners plugged in and sheds new light on fan favourites.
