  • 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.

UAWIL #300: Rush - Live in Chicago
Q: What was the most surprising aspect of Rush's Chicago run?
The hosts describe how the reimagined lineup with Anika Nilles still delivered the essence of Rush while offering fresh textures, and how the extended Moving Pictures/2112 blocks and the visual elements enhanced the experience without overshadowing the performance.
UAWIL #298: Boston (1976)
Q: What made Boston's debut album so influential in the rock landscape of the 1970s?
The hosts point to Tom Scholz's unprecedented level of control—engineering, sampling, and even building his own Rockman gear—combined with Delp's exceptional vocal performance, which together produced a cohesive, radio-friendly yet technically ambitious record that resonated across global markets and sustained longevity.
UAWIL #296: John Timmons of Ear-X-Tacy
Q: How did the store influence the local business community?
It helped catalyze partnerships among independent shops, contributed to the Keep Louisville Weird movement, and demonstrated how local culture can be a driver of community wealth and identity.
UAWIL #296: John Timmons of Ear-X-Tacy
Q: What made Ear-X-Tacy a hub for the Louisville music scene?
Its combination of an eclectic in-store inventory, support for local artists, and a community-first approach made it more than a store; it was a meeting place for fans, musicians, and collectors.
UAWIL #297: The Jetsetters - Britt Lightning & Tommy London
Q: What inspires your on-stage and video aesthetics?
They emphasize fun, high-energy rock that makes people want to move, along with a storytelling approach in videos that harks back to classic music television and connotes a strong sense of identity and nostalgia.
