Ep 209: It’s Our Time to Shine - Revisiting The Used - Self-Titled
In episode 209 of the podcast, Nate, Anthony and Tony give the Podioslave treatment to The Used’s debut self-titled album.
We dig into our early memories of the rollout, the band’s amazingly quick origin story, John Feldmann’s foray into production, and the overall legacy of the record/band.
This record holds a special place in the Podioslave canon. We likely wouldn’t be here as friends, let alone a podcast, without it. Enjoy!
