Shane Told is the singer of Silverstein and the host of the Lead Singer Syndrome podcast. He joins this week to talk about the early days of Silverstein and the specific moments he remembers of the band having success and “making it”. Then we talk about Lead Singer Syndrome and what it actually takes to keep a podcast going for 6+ years! If you listened all the way to the end of the podcast, you know we made a joke about how much we hate writing these damn descriptions. If you’re actually reading this right now, DM me and I will legit mail you WAAMF stickers for free as a thank you haha!
