Ha, I posted that a minute after you. That episode is a fantastic musical story about finding a song that seemed to only exist in one persons mind. I don't know anything about that podcast in general, but this episode is delightful and has that same feeling as the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet!

(Also, an "if you liked that, you might also like...": Finding Drago (https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/finding-drago/) is a short but excellent podcast series about searching for the author of a mysterious book about Ivan Drago from the move Rocky IV!)

    I loved this episode and was really impressed with how much work went into it -- all the way down to recreating the song with a band from that guy's head.

      And how it infected the band members to the point they couldn't get away from it. It's amazing how close the recreation was and how it compelled so many people

I immediately thought of this. Such a cool story, and an interesting insight into the state of the music industry in the 90's.

    The guy even got red carpet treatment and talked to the head of the record label. And still disappeared. Makes you wonder how many times that happens only to completely disappear.
