Flea’s interview with the Los Angeles Times was a true blast from the past, and he reflected on his extensive career with RHCP. The legendary band did a lot of things he’s proud of over the course of almost four decades, but Flea believes there was room for improvement when it comes to their debut studio album The Red Hot Chili Peppers from 1984.

Flea told LA Times that he’ll always regret the way they made their first album because the songs were really good, but the tone wasn’t right because they were going through many changes at the time.

“[Drummer] Jack [Irons] and [guitarist] Hillel [Slovak] quit, and we hired these two other guys: Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez. Both were great musicians, but the connection just wasn’t as profound as we had with the guys we started with,” explained Flea.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers was much more experimental than RHCP’s later albums and explored such genres as funk rock and rap rock. It produced only one single: “Get Up and Jump”.

The podcast, announced earlier this week, will be titled This Little Light and will see Flea and his guest sharing their early music memories. The list of guests will include legendary producer Rick Rubin, Grammy Award-winning singer Cynthia Erivo, and punk rock icon Patti Smith.

Throughout the 15 podcast episodes, Flea and guests will share stories about their first music teachers, early influences, and experiences they had as aspiring musicians and discuss how they influenced the later development of their respective music careers.

This Little Light is produced by Cadence13 podcast studio and will debut on March 30.

The podcast was inspired by Flea’s non-profit music school and organization Silverlake Conservatory of Music. Part of the proceedings from the project will go to financing the organization’s scholarship program and operational costs.

“I wanted to do to benefit my music school, the Silverlake Conservatory of Music,” Flea told Rolling Stone magazine. “The idea behind it being music education, falling in love with music, and embarking on a musical journey for your life.”
