Get Pete’s book: THE POLICE: EVERY ALBUM EVERY TRACK
It’s rare that a band that existed for only a few years could have such a huge impact. Sure, the Beatles, but they’re the exception to almost every rule. So are the Police.
The Police were together only nine years (not counting reunions), and released their five albums in just six years. Scant output, but those five albums quickly made them massive, and changed the world of music.
I go into their history, discography, and band dynamics, and also discuss my good friend Pete Braidis’ recent book, THE POLICE: EVERY ALBUM EVERY TRACK.
Were you a fan of the Police? Which era of theirs do you prefer? Did that fandom continue on to Sting’s solo career? How do you think they impacted music? Discuss dammit!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
