  • Omg a Pearl Jam podcast

    Don’t know why it never occurred to me that someone would have one. Which I found them years ago. Something made me think to check a couple weeks ago.

    When I say I was a huge PJ fan most of my life… I had a personalized license plate back in the 90’s. This is amazing. I’ve been missing so much since I stopped paying attention and this makes me feel like getting a Spin or Rolling Stone magazine again

  • A must for Peal Jam fans

    Such a great podcast for Pearl Jam fans. Jason and Paul do a great job of reviewing and analyzing the band in so many ways. I especially enjoy their Retro Reviews (I keep track of their scores and compare them to mine and my friends’) and their Playlists episode. This podcast, as well as the band itself, has helped me through tough times. Thanks Jason and Paul!!

  • Timeless band. Great podcast.

    This podcast is a walk down memory lane (I was 15 on 8/27/91) and fresh insight into a band I love. Pearl Jam never disappoints and neither do Jason and Paul.

Ohana Storytellers: Art Into Activism
Q: When did you have that aha moment or experience like I got to do better? When did you find your passion?
My moment was realizing I couldn't just sit back and let negativity define my role; I had to actively seek ways to use my art for positive change.
Mailbag & Dark Matter Over/Under
Q: How likely is it now that the band is gonna roll into a greatest hits or wind down mode and just tour for a few more years versus having a new record?
Pearl Jam is not the type of band that would wind down quietly; they enjoy creating new music and maintaining a connection with fans.
Mailbag & Dark Matter Over/Under
Q: Thoughts when we might get a new single or one from the vault release or a Lost Dogs 2?
The next thing we might get would be a Lost Dogs 2, as it's been 12 years since the first one and Stone has mentioned there's more material.
Mailbag & Dark Matter Over/Under
Q: What about Steve Gorman, Black Crows for a drummer?
While he has the chops, I don't think they have the personal relationships that are necessary for a band looking for a new member.
