United States5 months ago - Life of the Record
This is a highly engaging podcast. Having band members speak about a specific album in their catalogue is both refreshing and compelling listening.
My favorite is the podcast on Violent Femmes; however, the Pogues and Manchester Orchestra were equally interesting. On this podcast, the band members’ share anecdotes and unique insights into the studio dynamics behind, usually, their best album.
Apple Podcasts5Reverend PelhamUnited States5 months ago - Petty documentary
Admittedly I’ve only listened to the episode about the Long After Dark album by TP and the Heartbreakers. Essential listening for the Heartbreakers fan. Surprisingly well done with plenty of interludes of the record. Adria Petty is great, very insightful. Campbell and Lynch too. No interviewer getting in the way, just documentary bliss.
