EP 11 - The End of the Road: A Look Back at 2025
Episode 11
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025
Thanks for joining us one more time this year.2025 had a way of stacking things on top of each other without much pause. The schedule stayed full, the pace didn’t really let up, and a lot of the year was spent moving forward before there was time to process any of it. Sitting down now, it feels like the right moment to look back at how much actually happened.The year was shaped by the tours I was able to be a part of, my first time going to Australia, and stepping into drum tech work for the first time. Being in new environments and taking on more responsibility changed how I approached the road and what I took away from the year.There’s also no way to talk about this year without acknowledging how much loss the music world took on. The deaths of Ozzy, Ace Frehley, Sam Rivers, Dave Shapiro, and so many others cast a long shadow over the year and we talk honestly about how that weight carries differently when this is your everyday environment.We also get into the bigger industry moments that defined the year like Megadeth announcing their retirement, and what those kinds of announcements signal about where heavy music is at right now.Alongside all of that, we talk about growth. 2025 ended up being the biggest year so far for both Take Me On Tour and The Logan Show, and we reflect on what it’s taken to get them there.Thanks for closing out the year with us.
