  • The first ever podcast I listened to

    I swore I’d never be a podcast person but here I am, 33, diving deep into Jeremy Bolm’s podcast. It makes it easy when all the guests are people I genuinely want to listen to. Every episode has been so cool, so far my favorite episode has been Mike Bingham’s simply because it actually made me cry with his last answer. The best part about this podcast is hearing how people you admire and look up to are just people like you.

  • For me personally, the host, Jeremy Bolm, is one of my biggest experiences as a byproduct of being a long-time Touche Amore fan. Jeremy's lyrics have always resonated with me in very deep ways that have helped me navigate life in many ways, and I was further introduced to Jeremy through his appearances on 100 Words or Less with Ray Harkins (another phenomenal show, highly recommend s/o Ray and Joey from 131 Records), so it has been very cool for me as a Touche fan to get to be audience to Jeremy... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

277: The 2025 First Ever Holiday Special
Q: What is the first song you want to hear when the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve?
Jim chose the song 'Estrella' by Marcos Valle because of its vibrant energy and connection to memorable moments.
274: Nate Newton (Converge): Flash Gordon Rock
Q: What was your first concert? Did you get to see them live or is it someone else?
My first concert was actually Agnostic Front and The Vandals, but I wasn't there. Like, I didn't know what was going on, and I was scared, and I left.
272: Michael Bingham (Spiritual Cramp): Suffering Is Relative
Q: What is the thematic depth you focus on in your music?
I explore themes of intrusive thoughts, longing for empathy, and the push and pull of my relationship with my identity and the cities I'm connected to, especially San Francisco versus Los Angeles.
272: Michael Bingham (Spiritual Cramp): Suffering Is Relative
Q: Did you go into this sort of feeling like you wanted to write a love letter to San Francisco?
No, the overall vibe of the album was more about processing personal experiences while writing the songs that were influenced by elements of San Francisco.
270: Don Devore (Ink & Dagger / Frail): Shaking Things Up Deliberately
Q: When was the first time you felt like you were doing the thing you've been working so hard towards?
No chance of that. You're kidding me? Dude, I'm pressing hard. That's a ridiculous question for an artist, I think.
