    Paul, I never would have found this podcast if you weren’t on “Fly On the Wall.” So glad I heard you mention it because this podcast is a music lover’s paradise. Just listened to your interview with Peter Guralnick, and have only read his excellent “Finding Robert Johnson.” Now I have much more to read! Your interview style is so casual and informative. Keep up the great work. Oh, and I also plan to add your John Candy bio book to my list of Christmas purchases - for myself and a few friends.

  • Great show!

    This is consistently a great podcast with amazing interviews with superstars and (equally interesting) lesser known artists.

  • Great podcast for keeping up with what's happening in music, not just bands and musicians, but also famous music fans. Nicely paced with usually more than one guest per episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Castle Rat's Riley Pinkerton Gets Medieval on Metal
Q: Can you walk us through the concept of The Bestiary and how the story unfolds across the songs?
The Bestiary is a collection of songs about various mystical beasts, centered on a wizard who creates a bestiary to preserve the last souls of these creatures. The lore explains how the wizard passes the book to Castle Rat to protect it from the Rat Reapers, with the ongoing on-stage battle shaping the live show.
Joe Pernice Returns!
Q: What was it like bringing Jimmy Webb into the project, and what did he contribute?
Jimmy Webb ended up recording his piano part in New York after initial discussions; his feedback on arrangement helped redefine the chorus hook's placement, and the collaboration became a pivotal moment in the album's texture.
Joe Pernice Returns!
Q: How did the collaboration with Warren Zanes begin and evolve for this project?
Warren is a longtime friend who became involved through a mutual connection; Joe handed Warren a large pool of songs and Warren organized and sequenced them, shaping the album's flow and contributing a strong curatorial voice.
Squeeze's Glenn Tilbrook
Q: When did Owen Biddle join the band and what has his role been?
Owen joined just before COVID, became a key part of the current lineup and later a producer/co-producer, helping to shape the vocal and harmonic direction of the band.
Los Lobos' Steve Berlin on a long lost recording from Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs
Q: What were the main challenges in completing Pigus Drunkus Maximus and getting it released?
The main challenges included finding master tapes, which were missing for a long time, and the need to master from a cassette and vinyl copy; there was also a dispute over credit with Raymond Zarek, which Berlin resisted to preserve the producer's rightful role, and finally securing a label to release the record after decades of dormancy.
