  • Why the 2-month break? What movie was being filmed? How did the vault get penetrated? (Episode 18)
    Aug 30 2022

    Why was there a two month break between episodes? That’s covered in this episode, but to oversimplify: Pete’s been too busy making things happen.

    Filmmaker Dan Stewart jumps on the episode right from the start, to talk about his movie, “Local Band.” As this episode was being recorded in the vault, the final scene of the movie was being shot upstairs in the main room.

    Oh yeah… the vault. We’re in. This episode was recorded in the newly-penetrated (heh) vault space in the basement, as we were surrounded by hundreds of vacant safe deposit boxes, dust and detritus.

    In between the usual updates and business, Sean and Pete trade classic rock close encounter stories. What happened when Sean ran into Jimmy Page? Which superstar did Pete stalk? And which pop metal singer was voted “most improved” after hiring a singing coach?

    The Double Door Podcast lets you behind the scenes as Double Door works to reopen in its new location, at 1050 W. Wilson, in the Uptown neighborhood in Chicago!
