XRadioX
Matt and Jayce are two ex-college radio guys who became ex-professional radio guys who are now professionally guys in other professions. Their love of music and the ‘Big Idea’ of how to get radio RIGHT fuels this podcast. They dive deep into song lyrics, genres, different radio formats, and climb all over the minutiae of music! They even googled ‘minutiae’ to make sure they used it correctly. Tune in to hear rants about the music/radio industry, be a fly on the wall for interviews with special guests to discuss college radio and the music that inspired them, laugh along with some ridiculous music games and debates, and just have a lot of long-form fun, because there is NO Program Director to tell them they are doing it wrong! If you are a FAN of music, you will find yourself laughing along, shouting at the speakers, and having a good time!

Hey Xer's it's the latest and dare I say, most robotic, episode of XRadioX we've ever produced! Maybe the episode with the fake, robotic baby is a bit more robotic than this one. Maybe not?
Anyway...

It’s that time of the year again XRadioX fans. It’s the time of the year you feel bad because you forgot to get your cousin Tom, twice removed a cheese log. It’s that time of year where your kids tell you about the palomino that the mysteriously rich family down the road bought for their daughter that looks nothing like her father and mysteriously like her uncle. Jeez… Compensate much? It’s the time of year you ma...
HAPPY NEW YEAR XRADIOX FANS!!!
Let’s get this year started with a question. Have you ever wondered if two people who have really never listened to Country music BUT have both actually worked at a Country station could program a Classic Country station?
You haven’t? That’s understandable. You probably have your priorities straight and are a very successful person in real life. You probably also are fit, enjoy the c...

Here is your primer.
It's a time of parades, football...
James Kochalka SUPERSTAR logged in and recorded a fun interview with us that ranged from Jayce's sons laughing in the car at his song Pony The Penis... to the always fresh Monkey vs. Robot... to Matt asking about his process... to discussing his different albums... to Jayce getting cities in Vermont mixed up... All the way to the end where we hear the story of him and his band accidentally being sent to Marque...
HEY Xer's WE'RE BACK!!! (Finally)
It's Episode 34 where Matt and Jayce take on the duties of re-programming an hour of radio for any station that calls themselves or classifies their station as, Classic Alternative.

WE'RE BACK!!! XRadioX has awoke from their fall slumber.
We came back with more lyrics to dissect and talk about. Personally I'm happy I got to make Matt think about Cake's the distance as if it was about sex. I also enjoyed being reminded that a certain sect of music fans have no idea how magnets work. I know how they work but the Mystery is better than the truth. ;)
So tune in...
In this episode, Matt and Jayce wax nostalgic about the Summertime/back to school hits that dominated radio when they were in high school. It was a while ago. Longer for Jayce. Do you remember Dino? Roxette? Nelson? We give you a brand new trapper/keeper full of mid 1990s pop culture, all in a neat podcast candy coated shell!
It's Episode 30! It's the 4th of July! It's Independence Day! It's a Monday! It's XRadioX!
In this (not) special episode we take a few shots at some institutional "Freedom" songs. Some of ya'll might get upset and some of ya'll might agree but that's FREEDOM BABY!!! Deep down you know you don't care for that Lee Greenwood shlock fest either. JUST. ...
It's Episode 29 and we're at it again with the lyrics. What is it with us and lyrics? Are we dense, maybe? Are we next level when it comes to analyzing lyrical content and intent, probably not. Are we two guys who listen to way too much music and take the lyrics WAY to seriously, BINGO!
So sit back and enjoy our deep dive breakdowns of these great songs: Maria Maria, Don't Bring Me Down, Ko...
We're BACK! Hopefully you missed us terribly. Due to family schedules, bouts of COVID, and life just getting in the day, this is the first episode we have released in exactly 2 months!

We hit you hard with tiny random thoughts about music, our lives, pretty sure we cure COVI...
