We’ve all heard of the typical mailbag episode, where listeners submit questions to be answered on the podcast (we’ve done two of them - Ep 22 and 48)….well this is the host mailbag episode. We, the hosts, ask questions to each other. A few teasers: What is your most bizarre/unexpected interaction with a musician? Which listening medium to get rid of— in headphones, in the car, or on your home stereo? What’s your bucket list concert venue?  What’s your take on the current Spotify landscape? These and plenty more. One for the nerds!  If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe, and share!  Check us out at: www.podioslave.com  Email us: podioslavepodcast@gmail.com

In our 99th episode, we’re joined by Benny Horowitz, Drummer of The Gaslight Anthem and Mercy Union. Benny is a 90s OG, having booked and played shows for over 25 years at this point. We dig into Benny’s DIY roots in the NJ punk/hardcore scene, the start of The Gaslight Anthem, signing to SideOneDummy, eventually signing to a major label and everything that comes with it — and much more. Benny’s conversation chops rival his ability to crush the drums, and we couldn’t have asked for more. This is another can’t miss episode! Transition music: Mercy Union - "Chips and Vics" from the 'The Quarry' LP.  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!
