Songs & Stories Podcast
All we ever do is make music, talk shit, and do fun things that lead to good stories. That's what the Emery culture is about. We love telling you band stories and even more, we love convincing your favorite artists to tell their stories... even the ones they probably shouldn't.
Join us each week to hear amazing stories from the road, Song Rescue (where we roast and improve listeners songs), the Damn News, and more!
This podcast and our music is supported and funded directly by Emeryland. Join us at emerymusic.com

#612 Matt and Toby Raw
In case you ever wondered how bozos like us put food on the table, the answer is that we have a membership model for both the band and podcast that is combined. Inside that membership there is what we call premium exclusive content. Right now Emery’s new album Rub Some Dirt On It has final pro mixed audio versions yet to be publicly released and lots of other stuff, and we make TWO additional podcast episodes weekly for members only that are more raw and real than even the main episodes are. There is a private member community as well, so please cancel your Paramount + membership and join the the new underground.

#605 Hell Yeah! God Showed Up at Toby’s House.
This episode was supposed to be a bonus episode for the club, but it got way deeper than we planned and after recording and wanted to share it to share some personal things and what’s happening to BC. Toby had a spiritual moment this weekend which caused him to have some deep and painful self analysis and helped him realize some things must change. Matt also feels much the same way. Though this discussion is off the cuff and totally raw, we hope it resonates with you and that you too can relate to how times in our life things must change.

#603 The Myth of Virginity with Mary Beth and Nicolle Hodges
Journalist, author, and sexual freedom philosopher Nicolle Hodges set out on a mission to redefine the concept of virginity as we know it - or at least what we think we know - and has paved a path of healing for herself and others in the process. In this episode, Mary Beth and Nicolle break down exactly what virginity means in our society, how it robs us all of the freedom to explore ourselves and our desires, and how we can take our power back.
