  • Love it

    This podcast is fantastic. Ben and Wayne bring great analysis and banter. The format works wonders because even if the guest is shy promoting their own material, they always open up when it comes to discussing the music they love. You can sense their passion. And by having the guest choose the record, it covers classics and things you may not have previously heard. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    PS if you avoid episodes about records with political songs, you will avoid the political discussion... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 415: Episode 415 - Interview with Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones
Q: What was behind the updated version of American Beat? Why not use the original or something newer?
The band wanted a version with horns after Miles Copeland expressed interest in a Hollywood project; the revised arrangement helped secure the track as the Bachelor Party theme and influenced their collaboration with producers, broadening the film connection and their screen soundtrack prospects.
Episode 415: Episode 415 - Interview with Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones
Q: Tell me what some of your go-to albums are.
Peter describes a broad spectrum of classics from Beatles and early Kinks to Hendrix and Joe Meek, highlighting how these records shaped their sound and approach to making music, while also noting the influence of the New York scene and seminal releases from television and the Ramones as contextual touchpoints for fans.
Episode 412: Episode 412 - Steve Poltz discusses Rickie Lee Jones' "Pirates"
Q: What stands out about the personnel on the Pirates collaboration?
The hosts note a stellar lineup (David Sanborn, Steve Gadd, Chuck Rainey, Lenny Castro, Donald Fagen, and more) and discuss how the high-caliber session musicians contribute to the album's cinematic feel.
Episode 412: Episode 412 - Steve Poltz discusses Rickie Lee Jones' "Pirates"
Q: Why did you choose Pirates as the album to revisit?
Steve explains that Pirates is among his top songwriter records and notes its cinematic, eight-song structure that functions like separate scenes in a movie, which makes it ideal for a track-by-track discussion.
Episode 414: Episodes Revisited - From The Archives - Matt Nathanson discusses "Achtung Baby" from U2
Q: What makes Achtung Baby feel like a 'theatrical' U2, and how does that relate to the band's evolution?
The guests argue that collaboration with Eno/Lańhua, the Berlin sessions, and the synthesis of rock with theater created a bold, boundary-pushing sound that redefined U2's trajectory, aligning with the idea that the album was a peak in their creative experimentation beyond Joshua Tree era.
