In January 2015, Ben David - erstwhile troubadour, frontman of The Hard Aches and feeler of feels - sat in front of a microphone and got interviewed for the first-ever episode of All My Friends Are in Bar Bands. Almost exactly three years later, Ben sat in front of that very same microphone for episode 101. A lot has changed in the intervening years - and we get to a lot of it. Among the topics are Melbourne, gig safety, strangers knowing the words to your songs and even the podcast itself.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
