The industry is loud, but only a few are truly Tapped In.

Hosted by Tom Flies, Tapped In is a raw, unfiltered deep dive into the business, the culture, and the personalities moving the needle in Philadelphia and beyond. From the behind-the-scenes realities of podcasting networks and the legendary Don’t Call Me White Girl era to the evolution of the independent music scene, Tom brings on the city's most influential creators to discuss ownership, legacy, and the grind it takes to reach the top.

This isn't just a talk show—it's the blueprint. Every week, we sit down with industry staples, rising artists, and cultural innovators to pull back the curtain on the "inner workings" of the game.

If you’re looking for the real stories behind the headlines and the street-level hustle that fuels high-level success, you're in the right place.

    The Return of the Villains: Drake Season, Steak 48 Drama, & Relationship Traumas

    After a brief hiatus, Time Flies is back and fully tapped in. Host Tom Flies is joined by returning favorite Bang and first-time guest Shay to clear the air, talk music history, and break down why they completely refuse to feed into the industry's obsession with controversial, "messy" media.

    Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

    • The Drake Stimulus Package: A deep dive into Drake’s massive three-album drop (Iceman, Maid of Honor, and Habibti). The crew discusses the 2024 beef aftermath, why "the villains won," and why casual fans completely misunderstand professional songwriting credits and samples.
    • The Steak 48 Dress Code Controversy: Unpacking the viral TikTok drama. Shay shares her perspective on body shaming and inconsistency in high-end venues, while Bang introduces a hilarious take on the reality of "special treatment" and corporate restaurant politics.
    • The Worst Post-Breakup Crash Outs: Real stories from the room—including a Saturday night broken door standoff and a Christmas tree flying out of a window five days before the holiday.
    • The 2026 Dating Landmine: Shay gets transparent about self-sabotage, dealing with shape-shifting men, and why she values her nervous system's peace over relationship games.
