    Lunch with Frankie Avalon

    With Skip out of town on business, Paul has lunch chat with another dear friend: Frankie Avalon! Their pair reflect on 60 years of rock 'n' roll history, swapping stories from the road with Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin and James Brown, and what it was like coming up as teen idols in the 1950s. Frankie also recalls his nights hanging out at Elvis' house — and the time his future-wife turned down a date with the King of Rock!

    Alec Baldwin

    Alec Baldwin joins Paul and Skip to discuss his storied acting career, spanning 'The Hunt for Red October' to his record-breaking stint on 'SNL,' '30 Rock' and beyond. He offers the guys an impromptu lesson on method acting, explains why he was reluctant to do his iconic monologue in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ and how his instant-classic Trump impression impacted his view on the ex-President. Baldwin also reflects on the time he called Paul McCartney an “A-hole” in a yoga class, how he wound up as the first guest on ‘Inside the Actors Studio,’ and his 39 years of hard-won sobriety.

    John McEnroe

    John McEnroe

    The tennis icon weighs in on the Pickleball craze (spoiler: he is not a fan), recalls the time David Bowie shaded his guitar skills (even after lessons from Eddie Van Halen!) and reflects on his long journey from sports bad boy to good family man — thanks to some help from his wife, rock star Patty Smyth. But don’t worry, Mac still has some of his famous fire! Though he’d be fine never hearing his infamous “You cannot be serious” catchphrase ever again, he explains how his anger made him a better player — until it didn’t.

Great stories and laughs with some great characters

I absolutely love the style of the podcast. Mr. Anka and Mr. Bronson, despite their own successes, are quite curious about the guests they have on their show. Provides for some great stories and an easy conversational format. Thank you!

Policeman Ensuring Paul Anka Crosses Street Safely

I grew up in Ottawa, Canada and my father was a policeman. One of the stories I heard as a young child was that dad walked Paul Anka across the street (I believe after school, ensuring kids crossed the street safely). Since my dad was a good singer in his own right and played Mr. Anka’s music in our house I came to love his music.

We’ll, my dad died at the young age of 45 when I was 12. Since I moved to California, had a career in education as a teacher, Principal, and Counselor. I just lost my mother to dementia. For about two years prior to her passing I would go for daily walks with her and play ‘Mom’s Memory’ favorite songs playlist. It included three by Paul Anka: Having My Baby, Times of Your Life, and Memories Are Made of This.

This history brought me to Our Way podcast. Though I am only 61, I feel connected and incredibly interested in the stories and guests. It is a time period rich in history. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be the fly on the wall. As a side note, I especially appreciate Steve Wynn who shares the same RP eye condition that I have.

Bless your time and your relationships. My dad would have loved Our Way.
