  • A fantastic rock podcast!

    These guys go deep on albums I loved growing up and get cool guests from bands I still listen to daily. The Wolf and Action Jackson have a great back and forth and I can’t wait to hear what they’ll talk about each week. From a 40 year old classic record one week to a live concert review the next and interviews with legends, I try not to miss it. And their monthly First Concert Memories show is always fun!

  • Just the kind of podcast I like

    One of my top music podcasts! These guys are right in the wheelhouse of the music I love and their mix of album reviews, concert reviews, and interviews are a great combination. In addition, the whole American-English contrast adds more variety to the entire experience. Highly recommended!

  • Let me say how good this podcast site is..

    .. first of all, both the Wolf and Action are clearly wide-eyed & genuine fans of ROCK, in all its forms. They tackle all their topics with a winning mix of devotion and enthusiasm, plus the 10,000 hours of plain, old-fashioned LOVE of music.

    Not forgetting their occasional use of the old ‘squint-eye’ - great for lightening the mood, and reminding the listener that Wolf and Action are far enough down the road that they can enjoy & embrace their teenage rookie years.

    Although I’m a Brit, I still ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

First Concert Memories #36: Iron Maiden with Steven Michael of Growin' Up Rock Podcast
Q: How did you first get involved backstage with Iron Maiden on the Powerslave tour?
Steven explains he briefly worked in the arena as a non-union stagehand and used a backstage pass to blend in, then started helping the drum tech and Nicko McBrain, which allowed him to move from backstage to the barrier and witness the show up close.
UAWIL #279: Suzi Quatro Interview
Q: You have a lot of hits, but how do you work in the new material with the classics in a live show?
She explains she tests tracks live, sequences the set for ups and downs, and ensures at least two new songs fit into every show to keep the performance fresh.
UAWIL #270: The Firm - Mean Business
Q: What do you think about Live in Peace?
It's a pretty good song. Very well composed, very well produced.
UAWIL #268: Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons on his new solo album Weapons of Beauty
Q: What are your feelings about the last show with Ozzy and experiencing that moment?
That day was unlike anything I've ever experienced, incredibly special and emotional.
UAWIL #268: Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons on his new solo album Weapons of Beauty
Q: How do you find it, or how do you manage writing by yourself for a solo project versus writing with the band?
Writing solo is unhinged and untethered; there's no one to answer to, and I focus on personal pieces that matter to me.
