11% Pod
Welcome to The 11% Pod — a show built on stories, sparked by connection, and rooted in positivity. Hosted by Johnny B, a longtime storyteller with a background in stand-up, live music, and backstage banter, this podcast isn’t about chasing headlines — it’s about sharing honest, unfiltered conversations with people who’ve lived a little, learned a lot, and still find joy in the journey. Why start a podcast when everyone else already has one? Because we believe in the power of good dialogue. The kind that reconnects old friends, brings out great stories, and maybe helps someone else avoid a few missteps along the way. Some guests are industry legends. Some are just legends to us. All of them are people worth listening to. Expect music-adjacent moments, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and plenty of stories that hit that sweet spot between funny, meaningful, and true. But if you're looking for dirt, drama, or drunken debauchery, look elsewhere. The 11% Pod is more fly-on-the-wall than tabloid trash. The 11% is a space for the stories that make up the other side of the spotlight - the friendships, the lessons, and the laughs that don’t always make it into the press kit. So whether you’re in the business, near the business, or just love a good chat - pull up a chair. You’re welcome here.
