    The Story Behind: The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, Ep. 222
    Aug 18 2025

    Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Pogues were born out of the Irish diaspora in London and out of Shane McGowan's love of the downtrodden. The guys welcome a special (and very relevant) guest to discuss gritty vocals, the ulian pipes, and punk energy filtered through traditional music.

    The Story Behind: Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul, Ep. 221
    Aug 11 2025

    Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Isaac Hayes was a back-of-house songwriter who got thrust to the front of a struggling record label called Stax Records. The guys are live together in the room and talk about 70s funk innovations, massive amounts of confidence, and Phil's spoken word album coming in 2026.

for a person who podcasts so obsessively that she basically has an IV drip of daily content, this show has been a delight and a relief to listen to. the crew deconstructs and reconstructs milestone albums through a cultural lens in dialogue that is easy, natural and smart. the content is well-researched; the hosts draw on their academic understanding and personal experiences playing music for commentary on extant work that is salient, stimulating and frequently novel. the real joy is that the "smart stuff" does not make their conversations inaccessible; the podcasts' approach is a satisfying balance of tomfooling amongst a buncha goons who get a kick out of being together, and reliable, interesting historical and musical analysis.

give it a shot. start with an episode on an album you know well (whether you love it or hate it) rather than trying a chronological exploration. the result is likely to be gratifying. ❤️

humor meets intellect and experience for a WIN ❤️

These guys are fantastic. They know more than a little about music and are funny to boot. Look forward to Mondays because of this podcast. Keep up the great work.

This Podcast ROCKS!

I like the podcast..I do find the guys a little blinkered in the way they approach some of the albums and as artists themselves a bit to quick to attack the albums that don't fit in to their preferred genres of music... but on a whole a fun listen

not in total agreement with them

They complain and make fun of music, while sounding like they know something about what they're talking about, and they get away with it because they're talking to a younger less informed audience. If your a boomer, you'll hate the show, They're musicians, so you have your basic rock talk. They do make some funny references, but they should stick to their own music. Panning Surealistic Pillow by a guy who's favorite band is Rush says it all. Again it's a comedy show.

It's a comedy show!!
