  • Nebraska 82

    Nebraska 82
    Jan 8 2026

    We're joined by Louisville's own Patrick Ryan (aka Moe) for a deep dive into Nebraska 82, Bruce Springsteen's recently released multi-disc set covering demos, outtakes, Electric Nebraska, a new live recording, and a remastered version of the 1982 masterpiece. Also: riding the bus, Scatman John, and building empathy for your parents. I guess there's just a meanness in this world.

    For the Sake of the Song

    Join us as we spend a lot of time talking about For The Children in Boston, and a little bit of time talking about Townes Van Zandt's 1968 debut studio album. Also: traumatic brain injuries, misplaced nostalgia for the early 2000s, and Hannibal Buress bits. Keep going, friends. Your stories are not yet written.

  • Record Club with Aaron DuRall

    Record Club with Aaron DuRall
    Oct 31 2025

    We have the absolute pleasure this week of chatting with our friend and brother, Aaron DuRall. Aaron talks to us about growing up in Joplin, Missouri, finding his voice in hardcore and in country music, and what motivated him to recently record and release some exceptional songs. For this edition of record club, we explore George Strait's "Strait from the Heart," Whiskeytown's "Stranger's Almanac," and Tyler Childers' "Bottles and Bibles." We don't toss away what we love.
