  • Great podcast

    Really good podcast, which usually helps me decide whether or not to buy a book on music.

    Eric used to do another podcast which I really loved where he would breakdown a bands history, very insightful and good production values. Miss that!

  • The Podcast for Music Fans That Gets You in Deeper Than a Bookworm

    Eric Senich gets music and draws out of great authors who also gets music. Senich has you “covered” driving deep into stories of bands, albums, and songs and giving you that backstage pass that’s truly behind the music, no VH-1 pun intended. Senich is a true music connoisseur and brings you from one end of the spectrum to another with bands such as Sisters of Mercy to Led Zeppelin, to The Doors, to Tom Petty, to KISS, to The Cure, and to his near and near Eddie Van Halen. I find myself “cha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'2112' at 50: How Rush Defied the Music Industry [Episode 365]
Q: So what is the core story Rush are telling in 2112?
The core story is set in the year 2112 in a dystopian society ruled by priests who dictate art and life; the protagonist discovers music and individuality, which leads to a clash with an oppressive state, illustrating the fight for personal freedom and authenticity.
FM Radio’s Golden Decade: The Rise of AOR [Episode 364]
Q: This is the first biography of AOR, Album Oriented Rock. How would you define it for someone who may think just corporate rock when they see that term?
A more precise definition is that AOR represents rock that was crafted to sound great on radio, with an emphasis on strong songcraft for radio play, beyond the pejorative idea of 'corporate rock.'
Chinese Democracy: The Album That Took 15 Years [Episode 363]
Q: If you could sit across from Axl Rose today and ask him one question about this album, what would it be?
I'd ask what he would do differently, given all the moving parts, to better manage the recording process and collaboration, especially regarding the many guitar parts and personnel changes, to understand how the final vision could have been realized.
Donnie Iris: The Hit You Know, The Career You Don’t [Episode 362]
Q: What drew you personally, what drew you to Donnie Iris as a subject for an entire book?
Ferris explains his Pittsburgh upbringing connected him to Donnie Iris, the band's local roots, and the notion that Donnie's story represents a broader Rust Belt rock history of making great records with limited resources.
Triumph Turns 50: Rik Emmett on the Anniversary Tour and His Latest Poetry Book [Episode 361]
Q: What role does reinvention play in your career now?
Reinvention is an ongoing process of being alive and adapting to aging, health, and new creative environments, while still leveraging the core energy that has driven his work for decades.
