Ep 190: Finch - What It Is To Burn. A Retrospective.
In episode 190 of the podcast, we’re joined by friend of the podcast and vocalist of Trawl, Sean M., to discuss another all time album: Finch - What It Is To Burn.
We discuss the lead up and roll out of the album, our early memories of the music, how it hit us in the moment and how it continues to be an album the three of us revisit to this day. The album continues to be a staple in our music experience, and we’re still here for it.
We start the episode with a new twist on our theme music. We sent it to Sean and the boys in Trawl and asked them to turn it into a real piece of music: drums, guitar and bass plugged in. They did not disappoint! We’re excited to debut this new piece of Nerdery, and couldn’t be happier with what they came up with. Thank you TRAWL!

Ep 185: Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute. A Retrospective.
In episode 185 of the podcast, we’re rejoined by friend of the pod Shawn Robbins to discuss an all time album: Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute.
We talk our personal memories of the lead up, the way the album first hit us (and continues to), and how we feel about the music 21+ years later. There was nothing like Worship and Tribute in the moment, and we’d argue not much has changed. Classic.
We start the episode catching up with Shawn, as well as a brief discussion of the Teenage Wrist show Shawn saw and photographed last week in Boston for the Podioslave family.
