Their podcast is about being the daughters of famous prog musicians.

Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci have maintained a long and steady friendship long after Portnoy left Dream Theater. There was that photo at New Year's last year that "broke the internet" which Petrucci assured fans was nothing to read into and that they just hang out as friends. Turns out that friendship extends to their children as well.

Melody Portnoy and Sami Petrucci have announced they will be launching a podcast together, called The Manic Episodes podcast (original title was Bunk Buddies) and based on the description, it will focus on their live growing up as the children of famous prog musicians:

“It’s about growing up on tour buses, surviving on after-show food, crashing our dads’ meet&greets, and premature hearing loss because #progrock we will also interview other kidz who have daddy issues. Our first episode will include a Q&A so like comment subscribe below xox MAY 8th PLAYAAAAS”

As MetalSucks notes, Sami is currently 23 and Melody turned 22 today, May 22nd, which means "they were three and two, respectively, when Scenes From a Memory came out in 1999," so they have a lot of experience with their dads being on the road or hanging out on tour buses when not in school.

According to the budding broadcasters, the first episode launches next Wednesday, May 8th. We're excited to hear what they have up their sleeves.
