Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett shares what years of interviews have taught him about being on both sides of the mic. From learning how to ask better questions to resisting the urge to repeat the same tired stories, Chris breaks down how podcasting changed the way he connects with people.

He also recalls a wild moment from his own show when legendary singer Jackson Browne made some very off-brand, “cancel-worthy” remarks — and how Chris kept the conversation on track without getting dragged into controversy. It’s an honest, funny look at what really happens when rock stars become interviewers.

🎧 If you love Foo Fighters, podcasting insights, or behind-the-scenes stories from musicians who’ve seen it all, this clip is for you.
