    There are a surprising number of Wilco related podcasts out there, but Matt and Lance raise the bar. They are the very definition of my favorite kind of fan—always on a quest to dig deeper into the well of meaning that Wilco delivers. It’s a deep and wide well and I hope they never stop exploring.

Podcasting team Lance Hill and Matthew Morgan were still snacking on Lunchables at the time Wilco debuted with “A.M.” in 1995, but they have done a remarkable job of catching up with all things WilcoWorld.

  • Wilco I Love you baby..

    This is a great great podcast. When the band recommends the podcast my interest peaked. One suggestion if you could make a playlist of the songs you play that would be awesome. You might do them on Spotify but could you do them for Apple Music? Keep up the good work!!
