Midland Is Going To “Set It Straight” on New Podcast

by mcooper | August 12, 2021

Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson, and Cameron Duddy have been busy this year – the trio Midland have shared their origin story through The Sonic Ranch Documentary, they released a brand new EP titled The Last Resort, and have officially added “Podcast Hosts” to their resume.

Partnering exclusively with Amazon Music, the trio will be launching their podcast titled Set It Straight: Myths and Legends, where they will be discovering the truth behind some of the most infamous stories in the history of country music.

The series will premiere on August 25, and new episodes will be shared weekly.

Their lineup of guests includes Garth Brooks (whose episode is kicking off the season premiere), Martina McBride, Darius Rucker, Wynonna Judd, Jake Brennan, and more.

Of the podcast, lead singer Mark Wystrach shared, “Set It Straight: Myths and Legends is a chance for us to dive into the fascinating folklore and fables in and around country music and gives us an excuse to hang and informally chat with some of our biggest musical and artistic heroes.”

Bass player/vocalist Cameron Duddy added, “This is a real-life country Cinderella story: Martina McBride went from selling merch for Garth Brooks to opening for Garth Brooks seemingly overnight. Is it true? We had to talk to the legend herself to find out.”
