The Show Concept
About Takin’ A Walk
Takin’ A Walk is a music history podcast created and hosted by Buzz Knight, featuring long-form, in-depth conversations with legendary musicians, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Grammy-winning artists, indie breakouts, and viral sensations across rock, country, jazz, and American music history.
Produced by Buzz Knight Media Productions and distributed through the iHeartPodcast Network, Takin’ A Walk consistently places in the top 10 on Apple Podcasts in Music History, and is one of a small number of podcasts with episodes permanently archived in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s collection.
The show is built on one idea: give legendary artists room to say what they’ve never said before. No press-tour talking points, just real stories about the risk that made a career, the song that almost got shelved, or the night everything changed. Every episode ends with the Dream Walk question: who would you most want to take a walk with, living or dead? It’s become the show’s signature moment, and often its most revealing.
Buzz Knight brings decades of radio and media experience to every conversation, and it shows in the access, the trust, and the stories that come out of it.
