THE PODS & SODS NETWORK

When we last left Corey Nowlin, he was saying goodbye to Megan and Craig after spending five days on a boat with a bunch of rabid KISS fans.  He has returned to The Pods & Sods Network to discuss a band that he has some history with and that he and Craig appreciated greatly during the pandemic - Phish.  Lots to take in here, so read the book and surrender to the flow as Corey and Craig take you into the incredibly deep, wide an...

In the first episode of WHY WE LOVE... - a series to kick off an unscripted and all over the place conversation about bands we love (with a little off-topic fun as well) - Brian Linnen (Permanent Record Podcast) joins Craig for a candid chat about a band Craig has loved forever and Brian has loved for under a year - the amazing Bee Gees.  They talk about various albums and songs, the eras of the band, some of their turns on televis...

Andrew Sandoval comes back to the Pods & Sods Network to discuss his forthcoming book The Monkees: The Day By Day Story!  First published in 2005, it had widely been considered the last word on the story of The Monkees - an incredibly detailed chronology of all of the music, filming and tours between their creation and 1970.  Now expanded and essentially rebuilt, the new version of the book contains some mindblowing content tha...

TWO PICK TEN: THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY

After we learned in the previous Beatles episode that Mister Brian Jacobs would try to throw the numbers in his favor, he was banished to a separate desert island that just played one Dylan song on a loop.  Thalia Reynolds (Another Kind Of Mind) proved to be up to the task of choosing, and joined Craig for this Two Pick Ten where they focus on the point where she jumped onto Beatle Fandom - 25 ye...

TWO PICK TEN: ABBA

One could say that all of the Two Pick Ten episodes present various rabbit holes that Craig has fallen into - for most episodes, the entire purpose of the series is to bring together two people familiar with an artist's entire catalog of music. This one was a month-long crash course in melodic goodness as special guest Josh Fitzgerald willingly goes to that desert island with Craig and the two collaborate on ...

TWO PICK TEN: WOODSTOCK

Join us for a very special surprise Woodstock anniversary episode where Craig convinces legendary Woodstock author and expert Scott Parker to join him on the recently discovered desert island Yasgur as they brainstorm their own configuration of the Woodstock soundtrack for the 51st anniversary of the legendary festival. The twist this time - only one song per artist. There is, as always, chat about the songs...

Davy Live In Japan... and a Barrelful of Monkee Missteps

Back in February, Megan and Craig had a bit of a Davy Jones marathon.  Our episode starts with a review of the wonderful 7A release Live In Japan, but starts to take shape into a discussion about where Davy Jones fits inside and outside of The Monkees, with some conversations about the Monkees touring/reunion lineups over the years.  An honest...

On this Six-Pack episode, Lee McCormack of the Tramps Like Us Podcast and friend of the show Kurt Runyon join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to talk Stray Cats.  Lee is shot out of a cannon on this one with the Stray Cats being his all-time favorite band - he has his guitar, he has all the trivia anyone would want, he has stories (including the time Slim Jim broke Lee's personal drum head), a...

HOLD YOUR HAMMERS HIGH!!

On this Six-Pack episode, Matt Porter from The KISS Room and BJ Kramp of the Rock And/Or Roll podcast join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to ride the winds of victory into Valhalla and discuss the music and Conan-like pageantry of Manowar. From loin clothes to tales of Thor and battles and triumphs, Manowar is certainly a unique band.  Their musicianship is aggressive, smart...
