Joey's Song is the official podcast of the Joey's Song Foundation — the Madison, Wisconsin nonprofit behind the annual Freezing Man Festival, a benefit concert for epilepsy research featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, Grammy winners, and iconic 80s and 90s rock artists. Each episode features in-depth interviews with musicians, industry leaders, and advocates. We cover music history, stories behind the songs, personal connections to epilepsy awareness, and why musicians are giving back through music. Artists from Garbage, The Bangles, Letters to Cleo, Goo Goo Dolls, Tears for Fears, Soul Asylum, Fountains of Wayne, and Gang of Four have all shared their stories here. The Joseph Gomoll Foundation was established in honor of Joey Gomoll, who passed away in 2010 from Dravet Syndrome. Follow us at joeyssong.org and @joeyssong on all platforms.
