    Episode 775: Joan As Police Woman
    Oct 3 2026
    Even in reflection, there's no standing still. To mark the 20th anniversary of her solo debut, "Real Life," Joan Wasser re-recorded all 10 tracks, capturing their evolution of the decades. "Real Life Evolution" is a tacit acknowledgement that there can never be definitive versions of any songs. The mere act of committing them to tape is hasting their continued transformation.

    Episode 774: The Olivia Tremor Control
    Sep 27 2026
    On November 29, 2024, Will Cullen Hart left this world behind. Through some strange cosmic coincide, his passing arrived the same day as two single from the Olivia Tremor Control’s third and final album. Both and Doss – who passed in 2012 – left behind a mostly finished album. But nothing has ever been simple with this band. One could never fully declare an album finished without the band’s two front men, but musicians Jason NeSmith and Ron Kwasman were recruited to join (one of) the band’s multi-instrumentalist, Derek Almstead to complete this final chapter. The Same Place is a warm, bright, and comforting familiar black swan song from a singular and unforgettable group. Welcome back and farewell to the Olivia Tremor Control.

Reissues have followed -- a second act for the group that lived and breathed these songs in the waning days of the 20th century. Frontwoman-turned-Neon Trees drummer, Elaine Bradley, joins us to discuss the journey and what it means for a band to be "back."
