Sex, drugs, and rock & roll: "Off the record" (Jimmy Fink - MY DAD!) | The Real Stuff

Join me for a heart-to-heart with none other than the rock and roll king, my dad, Jimmy Fink. In this special episode, I sit down with my dad to unravel the tales of a life deeply intertwined with music history. We embark on a personal journey from the heady days of Woodstock and Studio 54 to the intimate moments that have defined our father-daughter bond.
The laughter, the struggles, and even the recording snafus of this podcast episode itself stitch together a story that's as rich and vibrant as the music he's played. As we explore his experiences, you're transported to a time of free love, cultural revolution, and the birth of a music legacy.
We also get an inside look at the era's drug culture, its impact on the industry, and the stark contrast between public personas and private lives. Jimmy's tales from this transformative period in music are not just nostalgia; they're a testament to the power of radio and its enduring connection to listeners.

Your dad has such a youthful spirit. I love the very sound of his voice. I hope you incorporate him in more broadcast. Thank you.

[@luciebfink]

Right??? A voice for radio ❤

[@jennielgreene3870]

No. For me, there's a soothing quality in his voice. Also, I like the way his mouth moves or frames certain words. Perhaps U can have him read relevant poetry/prose from time to time on a segment. He can do a book/movie review. Just get him talking, please!

When your dad mentioned Howard Stern I immediately texted my dad to ask if he knew of your dad & he does! So cool that my dad listened to your dad & now I watch & listen to you. Great episode!

[@luciebfink]

aww I love this!!! FULL CIRCLE LIFE MOMENT. I'm also friendly with one of Howard's daughters which is super full circle!!

[@GeorgeTel100]

He made my experience of discovering classic rock so much more enjoyable than others on his station in the early 80's - he never tried to be cool - just real!

[@Joelina456]

All of your episodes are a pleasure to listen to, but this one was by far my favorite up to now. Your dad has so much charisma and capturing way of telling stories (no surprise given his profession). Thanks for bringing him on! 🙂

[@petejoyce9131]

His voice is ingrained in my head since my early teen years. What a career your Dad had!

[@Johannalaaa]

Your dad is a mensch!! Reminds me of my dad! Loved this episode!

[@mealprepsundazes3033]

Lucie, I just saw your new podcast release today and wanted to go back today to finish out the Jimmy Fink Podcast. It is awesome! Your dad is so great and I really love that he is a Taylor Swift fan! The stories about Woodstock were incredible. Looking forward to episode 6!

[@1221Lilypad]

Really enjoyed this episode - my first time listening to your podcast! I listen to your Dad on The Peak, streaming, and find him a very interesting person. It was so nice to hear the stories of his younger years and his time in broadcasting.

[@effie5238]

When you posted that little teaser on instagram about your next guest, why did my brain not immediately go to papa Fink? Definitely the coolest Dad! Such a sweet episode though too! I honestly at some point was just trying to hold back the tears. Hope we get to meet the rest of the family too and get a little more in-depth with them too.

[@heloisebrunet330]

What an amazing interview!!! I had never noticed how much you two have the same mouth, you are both so adorable!!! Jimmy, your voice sounds incredible, it seems you are born to tell stories ( so Lucie is!). Thank you for this touching father-daughter moment!!!!!

[@julioson50th21]

Awesome! I laughed out loud. I live in Texas and was not familar with your Dad. Great stories. Looking forward to future episods.

[@noravhunt]

Another great episode! What a wonderful and interesting father. Love your relationship and your ease with one another! ❤️

[@nancye66]

This was great 😊 Thanks to both of you ❤

[@Mia73189]

This was such an enjoyable watch/listen, Lucie. Your dad is a treasure and has the most interesting past. I gave a 5 star review on the podcast app and DM’d the review to you on insta, but it never approved me sending it to you 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@luciebfink]

Thank you so much!!! And thank you for letting me know - what’s your IG handle?? Lots of messages can get lost😅

[@Mia73189]
