Episode Details

Even if you've never seen a frame of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Adam sits down with Pati Rock, the wife, creative partner, and now legacy-keeper of the legendary rock photographer Mick Rock. Mick captured some of the most iconic images in music history — Bowie, Queen, Iggy, Lou Reed — and was the only photographer given full access during the filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.

In this intimate and unforgettable conversation, Pati shares what it was like to walk beside a man whose lens defined an era, how the new book Rocky Horror: Behind the Scenes of a Cult Classic came to life, and the powerful, creative ways she stays connected to Mick through her own art.

This isn’t just a look back. It’s a living, breathing love story wrapped in art, music, and the magic of cultural history.
