221 - Michael Alago

This week, we sit down with Michael Alago—legendary A&R executive, photographer, and subject of the critically acclaimed documentary Who the Fuck Is That Guy?! The Fabulous Journey of Michael Alago. Michael joins us to share the wild, inspiring story of his life in music—from signing Metallica and White Zombie to working with Nina Simone and becoming a celebrated photographer. He reflects on being openly gay in the heavy metal scene, his struggles with addiction, and finding peace through sobriety and creativity. With stories that span decades, this is a powerful conversation about music, resilience, and living authentically.
