Shannon McGill Dropped by the studio to talk about her favorite New Jersey Diners and what waiters really mean when they say "How is everything?" We discussed more than that and even sang a Bob Dylan song at the end. I hope you listen and I hope you enjoy. Thanks

A while ago, Mumbles the Elf came down to the PRHQRAH Studio and we recorded a little pod. It was a fun talk with a smart guy. I hope you enjoy it.

Julie is in town and we got to talking about how much 13-year-old Adam enjoyed the MTM oeuvre. She was kind enough to sit on the other side of the Yeti (set to figure 8, natch) and listen to me harken back to those early boners. In my much less than comprehensive review of the amazing MTM's career, it should be said that I meant to, but forgot to mention her short lived variety show, 1978 I think. Y'know, Bay City Rollers, Shields ...

So this is up a little later than intended because I wrote a song last night, and it's at the end of the podcast. If you show up to Milkboy on friday night, I might even play it again. wanna sing along?

Elizabeth Kübler-Ross defined the five stages of grief as, Denial, Anger, Bargaining Depression and Acceptance. If you are a decent human being, and I think you are, November 9th began your trek through these five stages and you ar...

  Couple months ago I was fortunate enough to take a deep dive with my old friend Professor Phil Stinson whose work includes the country's most comprehensive database on police arrests. We spoke at length about his qualifications and about his database and the path that lead him to such. And in this exceedingly depressing week of executions by police begetting assassination begetting Facebook outrage begetting empty wo...

As 2016 Continues its Sherman-like Scorched Earth Campaign, yet another great musician has been steamrolled. Ray Duffy was one of the good ones, so good in fact, that he gave up a day of his all too short life to play banjo on an Antifolk Album. This brief podcast is but a tip of the cap to a generous and tasteful player. Safe travels Ray, and thanks for the hang and the twang.

So last week the Sixers acted like an African Dictatorship and had a profound shakeup in a front office which was already under all kinds of national and local fire because of "The Process". I sat down with Jim Adair of CrossingBroad.com who kind of looks like he's sporting Groucho Grease in this photo. Jim spelled out and nicely recapped the whole she-bang to date in a way that an NBAvoider like myself could wrap his tiny little...

Bass Player, Softball Manager and Baseball fan, Chris Huebner came into the PRHQPCS armed with a few baseball songs, and a few that prolly aren't really about baseball, but it was fun to talk to him and share the songs. So dig 'em. Thanks.

Though Brad is not Amish or a KGB spy, that was a really fun thing to type so Imma roll with it. This week's Rhymes Against Humanity features a really fun conversation that Brad and I had a couple weeks ago in his Pittsburgh Mansion. We had a really good time and I hope you will too. He talks about his Costa Rican Amish Relatives and his semester abroad in the GDR, that's right, East Germany, back when that was a thing. H...

Last week Fast Folk Fuck and longtime friend Gregg Cagno came over to the PRHQPCS and sat and strummed for a while. We had a great talk and didn't even touch on a bunch of things I wanted to, like surfing and Linda Sharar and all the cool kids and Camp Hoboken and lots of other things. We did however talk about his family and his music and shared a few war stories. It was one of those conversations that flowed so easily, an h...

So a few things happened this week. The Live Free or Diehards chose Donald Trump and Bernie Sandwiches in the NH primary and now on to the next freak state, South Carolina. Peyton Manning announced his intention to drink a lot of Budweiser after going along for the ride and garnering a second Super Bowl ring with a performance that was really kind of shitty. Not a good day to be a QB or especially an offensive lineman as both...

This week's episode finds our hero plodding through the morass of the Iowa results and eager to put them behind us. Speaking of behind, almost a year ago I spoke with My dear friend and seriously talented musician, Brigid Kaelin. This is that talk. we had it in her basement while her house was being cleaned by a professional so's she could rake in some of that sweet AirBnb cheddar. We had a great time and I hope you will to...

So, facing through Facebook t'other day I noticed that a few of my peers seemed to be having a really really good time without me. It turns out it was Dan Nosheny, Samantha Wittchen and Alexandra Cutler-Fetkewicz who have created PhillyMusicLab.com. What exactly is Philly Music Lab? I had no idea, but it looked like way more fun than I was having, So I got in touch and had them come over to the PRHQPCS and we talked for half an...

Last month while I was out touring where the Eastern Midwest meets the Northern South, I landed in Louisville where I played a house concert and witnessed how the 16th largest city in America had funked itself up considerably since my last sojourn several years ago. The ...

So, this month, March 2015, if you are a under the yoke of the Comcastistas, for free you can peep Inheritance, a 30 minute short documentary by award winning filmmaker and all around good person, Aggie Ebrahimi. Aggie is a visiting professor at Mulenberg College up there in Allentown and I drove up and talked to her in her office.

Tiny Elvis was in town and though time was tight, we met in the green room at the venerable and venerated Tin Angel in Philadelphia. We chatted for half an hour or so, talking about many things but not getting into weighty topics like The Patriots, Red Sox and Hoss Radbourne and the Providence Grays. We did manage to talk about songwriting, amp schlepping, net neutrality, jingles and bearing Ellis Paul's Love Child. It was fun. D...
