Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925"},"episode":{"title":"The Dark Summer and the New Era: Jason Mays Returns","slug":"the-dark-summer-and-the-new-era-jason-mays-returns","published_at":"2026-01-26T23:07:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925/the-dark-summer-and-the-new-era-jason-mays-returns","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN1359710604.mp3?updated=1769469453","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN1359710604.mp3?updated=1769469453","summary":"My dude Jason Mays is back, and we get into the real stuff on this one! We talk about wearing 12 different hats (PlayJason, Working Class Music, writing gigs, Orange, a band, and whatever else gets stapled to his name this week), and what happens when “hustle” turns into straight-up burnout. Jason breaks down the behind-the-scenes evolution of Working Class Music, why he started PlayJason as a creative pressure valve, and how keeping things authentic sometimes means stepping back, changing roles, and rebuilding the workflow so it doesn’t eat your brain. If you've ever wondered how some folks juggle it all, this episode is for you.
