Can't Feel The Heat

Caleb Aldrich is a TV writer and a DJ who has been to 19 different Coachella weekends and finds cosmic connections within Coachella. Caleb talks about how he fell into going to the festival and the community he has found along the way. He also has tips on how to embrace the ebb and flow of Coachella; how to find your friends in a crowd of 125,000 and what’s the quickest way to get across the polo field. Co-hosts Tom Nash and Vanessa Franko talk with Caleb about the energy and magic of Coachella, particularly its unforgettable setting at the Empire Polo Club in Indio and what they’re each looking forward to most as soon as the festival comes back post-pandemic. On a lighter note, there’s also discussion of Coachella’s bathroom situation (the permanent bathrooms were game changers!) and also the time Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga filmed “A Star Is Born” at Coachella and the sister festival the Stagecoach Country Music Festival.  We also talk about some great music to dance to, including Parcels and L’Imperatrice

Brian Wentzel is a healthcare strategy executive that is passionate about Coachella and the growth of the festival. He has been following the business developments of the festival since he started attending in 2012 and he has been fortunate to attend the festival the past 3 years in Safari campground. This experience gives him some great insights into the backstage experience for festival-goers.  We are joined by my co-host Vanessa Franko who shared the current update on Coachella. She also talked about Yo Gabba Gabba, too, and how DJ Lance Rock might have been Sahara’s greatest dance party. And how they showed up with King Khan and the Shrines. Also, we discuss the intersection of Coachella and Christmas music, shouting out our favorites.
