    Inspired by the 40th anniversary of We Are The World—America’s greatest musical one-night stand—The Pod of DC hit the road in March this year for a live show packed with games, prizes, and live podcast conversations. One featured raffle prize was a behind-the-scenes tour of The Pod of DC studio with a featured conversation on the pod. The lucky winners that night were Larry and Jennifer Taxon.

    From their chance encounter at Dewey Beach more than 20 years ago, the Taxsons share their love story woven through marriage, parenthood, countless concerts, and life’s wild detours.

    Expect Dewey Beach nostalgia, real talk on relationships, the quirks of DC life, retirement daydreams, the evolution from mixtapes to emojis, and a full serving of family vibes—Taxon style.

    Adrian Conforti is a songwriter and former touring musician who founded the band Soulys in the early 2000s.


    On this episode of the pod, Adrian visits the studio with guitar in hand to perform his original track, “You’re Into Me” and reflect on the wild ride that music—and life—has taken him on.


    We talk musical influences, the heartbreak that sparked a creative wave, developing a following on the road, and the time he auditioned to become the lead singer of INXS.


    Looking back, it’s clear how Adrian’s songs evolved—from expressions of deep angst to reflections filled with gratitude and growth, transforming pain into something positive and meaningful.
