Summary
Join Joe, Adam, and Dana for a one-on-one conversation with Jimmy "The Senator" Douglass, a formidable music producer and engineer with a career spanning over 60 years. Best known for his extensive work with Timbaland (who gave him his famous nickname), Missy Elliott, and Justin Timberlake, Jimmy shares the secret weapon behind his legendary career. He got his start as a teenager at Atlantic Records, watching Tom Dowd mix into the wee hours of the morning, learning from Arif Mardin, and collaborating with Joel Dorn. In this episode, he shares some beautiful, never-before-heard stories about the dads. ⚠️This one is definitely not for kids. When you put four people in a room who have known each other most of their lives, the filters come completely off. We marked this one explicit ahead of time!
