Collin McClutchy is a talented person. He produces records for Sword and Dagger Audio in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to crafting soundtracks for multiple seasons of My First Dungeon, Collin creates “synth music for sworn swords and sorcerers” as BE/HOLD. Somehow Collin also finds time to be an avid reader of fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction.

How does reading speculative fiction inform one’s own artistic and professional path?

"We did it, Joe: we listened to Bruce Springsteen's entire* discography!" - Steve, probably.

*Dude put out an EP literally on the day we recorded this episode.

No, we're not doing another one on it.

We conclude our Bruce Springsteen miniseries with conversation about his last(?) E Street Band album, Letter to You and his...singular R&B covers album, Only the Strong Survive.

Does Steve love The Boss the same way? Can Joe admit that ...

Joe and Steve make their way through the tumultuous discography of Bruce Springsteen in the 2010s.

Is Wrecking Ball that destructive?

Does High Hopes live up to its expectations?

And on Western Stars, Bruce asks the question no one asked: What would it sound like if a man from New Jersey wrote a western?

You should go watch The Lorax.

When Filler started, Joe and Steve made a pact: Steve would give blink-182 a shot and Joe would truly try to get into Bruce Springsteen.

Steve loves Bruce.

Joe loves The Gaslight Anthem. What's he missing?
