#2 Gregor

Twenty years ago, Gregor lent obscure field recording CDs to his then-struggling musician friend, Moby. These samples propelled Moby to global stardom with his album "Play," while Gregor felt overlooked and wanted his valuable CDs returned. This episode chronicles the host's attempt to mediate an awkward reunion in Los Angeles, leading to a surprisingly emotional confrontation where Moby reveals the profound impact of the CDs on his life and a fan's experience. Ultimately, the quest for the physical CDs transforms into a journey of reconciliation and a heartfelt acknowledgment between two old friends.
