Podcasting has changed the way we tell stories, consume media, and connect with audiences—and filmmaker Shaun Michael Colón joins The Austin Young Show to share how he captured that evolution in his documentary Age of Audio. We discuss the seven-year journey of making the film, the history of podcasting, the pioneers who built the medium, independent filmmaking, and what the future holds for audio storytelling in the age of YouTube and AI. Whether you're a podcaster, filmmaker, or simply fascinated by the evolution of modern media, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

his week, I'm joined by Tonino Baliardo, the legendary guitarist, composer, and founding member of the Gipsy Kings, for a conversation celebrating more than four decades of unforgettable music.

Tonino discusses the inspiration behind Historia, the latest album from Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo, and how it reflects the band's remarkable musical journey while honoring the sound and traditions that made them a global phenomenon. We also talk about Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo, the new documentary directed by Joel Van der Molen, which takes viewers behind the music to tell the incredible story of the band's rise from busking on the beaches of Saint-Tropez to becoming one of the world's most successful and influential world music acts.

In our conversation, Tonino also shares what it's like creating and performing alongside his family, why passing the music on to the next generation is so important, and how that family bond continues to shape the future of the Gipsy Kings' legacy.

Whether you've loved classics like "Bamboléo," "Djobi Djoba," and "Volare" for years or are discovering their music through Historia, this is an inspiring conversation about family, tradition, perseverance, and a lifetime dedicated to music that transcends borders.

Special Thanks to Heather Hawke from Reybee Inc for setting up the interview and Matthew Parker for his translation services.
