Everyone remembers the hits. Few know the stories. In this episode of Press Play Radio Conversations, Dryden Mitchell of Alien Ant Farm joins Don and Tina for a hilarious, heartfelt, and unexpectedly deep conversation. From the making of "Movies" and the day Pat Morita walked onto the set, to life on the Sunset Strip, rediscovering music through vinyl, getting sober, and why the "human element" still matters in an age of AI, this isn't just a trip down memory lane—it's a conversation about creativity, survival, and finding new meaning in songs that have become part of our lives. Pull up a chair and hang out with one of alternative rock's most genuine voices.
