Third Man Records Releases ‘Striped: The Story Of The White Stripes’ Podcast

Third Man Records released the first two episodes of Season One of its new podcast Striped: The Story Of The White Stripes, hosted by Sean Cannon. In season one, music journalist Cannon takes you through the early years of The White Stripes by talking to the people who witnessed it firsthand — from a young Jack White practicing loudly in his attic, to The White Stripes wowing their tourmates Pavement in late 1999. You’ll hear from members of The MC5, Pavement, The Raconteurs, The Detroit Cobras, The Dirtbombs, The Soledad Brothers, filmmaker Lance Bangs, and more.

“Lately I’ve been afraid of getting in a car crash and having my last dying words be ‘shit, I really should’ve gotten the White Stripes story down for posterity,’” Third Man co-founder and White Stripes archivist Ben Blackwell said. “This is my attempt to avail myself to somewhat less lame last words.”

You can listen to the first two episodes via Apple Podcast.
