Rock n' Roll Grad School Episode #284- Kamelot

Author: Heidi Hedquist/Luke Poling August 19, 2026 Duration: 32:26
To listen to a Kamelot record is to go on a journey. And their new record, "Dark Asylum," is a new approach to the storytelling that fans have come to love. We sat down with founding member Thomas Youngblood. For more information and to get your copy of "Dark Asylum," check out the band's website.

Hosted by Heidi Hedquist and Luke Poling, Rock 'n' Roll Grad School is a podcast that digs into the real, unglamorous, and fascinating education of a life in music. This isn't a series of polished interviews, but the kind of sprawling, honest talk that happens after the show, when the gear is packed and the only thing left is the road ahead. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the performing arts, focusing on the hard-earned lessons, the bizarre gigs, the creative process, and the personal costs and triumphs that never make it into a press bio. You'll hear from musicians, roadies, producers, and others who live for the craft, discussing the art and the business with a depth that only comes from experience. The conversation is the point-it's meandering, funny, insightful, and deeply human. Tune in for a podcast that feels less like a lecture and more like you've found a seat in the back lounge, listening to stories that remind you why people choose this chaotic, beautiful path in the first place. It’s an ongoing dialogue about what it truly means to live a creative life, one mile and one melody at a time.
