The Throwback Podcast
Dan Hanzus and Bob Castrone love listening to music- almost as much as they love hanging out in a garage and talking about it. On The Throwback Podcast, lifelong friends revisit important albums from their past and go through them--track by track-- with fresh ears. From the classics to the cringeworthy, every week is a throwback.

The boys bring the POWER in part 2 of this thrilling series worthy of its own late night infomercial.

If you're still listening to Bad English, Skid Row, or Jon Bon, this episode will hit you right in your sensitive wheelhouse.

In the Spring of 2K1 (pre-Tuesday) Dan, Bob, their buddies Greg and Brian, and a guy named Vinsanity flew to Cancun, Mexico for the ULTIMATE SPRING BREAK EXPERIENCE (as promised by MTV).

Now, for the first time in 22 years, we're going to revisit ALL 38 tracks... and relive the stories that come with them. Lo Siento.
For our 150th episode we're going back 20 years to revisit the biggest hits of 2003... and Zwan! So get ready for some 3 Doors Down, some Matchbox 20, a little Chingy, an unfortunate amount of R. Kelly... and Zwan!

Papa Roach. Eminem. A Perfect Circle. STP... it can ONLY be The Year 2000. The Bosom Buddies have reunited in the nü garage just so they can travel back in time twenty-two years to see what all the cool kids were listening to during modern rock's dark ages. This is our last resort.
They may not be in the garage and they're certainly not on TikTok, but Dan and Bob ARE BACK with an all new episode. This week, our suburban-raised heroes are rockin' The Suburbs, Arcade Fire's Grammy Award Winning masterpiece. If you have any issues with that, please address them to The Throwback Podcast's Office of Corrections / Department Of Go Fuck Yourself.
