In 2016, Opshop drummer Bobby Kennedy and Danny McCrum launched the podcast Don't Give Up Your Day Job, a show built around honest conversations about what it's really like to work as a creative professional. It was funny, hard-hitting, irreverent, and fearlessly critical of the music industry.

​

In 2018, Bobby stepped back for personal reasons and Danny took over as sole host, with Bobby still making the occasional appearance. Without Bobby's energy in the mix, the show naturally found a different rhythm. As the world lurched through one challenge after another, including a global pandemic, the podcast tried to stay positive, but often couldn't help reflecting the tough times everyone was living through.

​

After nine years and 168 episodes, Danny put the show on hold. He felt it had started to repeat itself, the music industry had changed beyond recognition, and his priorities had shifted. He needed to step away and reset. Quietly, he'd made up his mind to leave podcasting behind for good.

​

Then a year later, new ideas started brewing, a new collaborator came along and the decision was made to rebrand and design a new show.

​

What Do We Know? is the newly revived podcast from Danny McCrum and co-host Mike Harrington. It's about all things music: albums, artists, music theory, history, gear, the big debates, and a whole lot more. There are occasional guests and guest co-hosts, and the tone is warmer, sharper, and more fun than ever. In a world where we need to embrace the things we love, What Do We Know? is exactly the kind of show we all need right now.

Listen to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all other podcast platforms.
