Grab your headphones, pour yourself a pint, and meet host Shannon McMenamin where the past and present intertwine and the magic of McMenamins' universe unfolds before you.

The Red Shed Tapes, B-side
Like vinyl records, cassettes had a main side with all the hits, and a B-side where the jewels were buried. Our B-side is a little like that: gems – often from our archive – that aren’t always at the top of the play list, but if you’re lucky enough to find, they’re pure gold.  On the B-side we press “play” on stories and conversations from McMenamins’ vault of recordings and interviews from the last 40-plus years and sometimes even interviews from today.

Our podcast isn’t only for listening; check it out on YouTube to hear it alongside photos, video and art! See photos, transcripts and more on our history blog.
