A Pact with the Devil
Most musicians work for years to master their instruments, with no guarantee of success. To what lengths will humans go for the sake of genius? What wouldn’t we give to be talented? To be famous? To be the best in the world? In this episode, we meet four musicians rumored to have paid the ultimate price for their art.
Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with the voice talent of Jack Krause and original music by Purple Planet.
