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

#439 Can it Really be This Good? with Brian McLaren
Brian McLaren, author of "The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian," has had a massive impact on Joey's belief updates, so he was very excited to talk to him today and even call him a mentor. Something about Universalism just seems a little too good to be true for Toby to jump on board, so at the end of the episode, he sets it straight again.

#429 Ryan Rado, Tourette’s, Weed, and Authenticity
Ryan Rado has been a big part of the Christian punk/hardcore scene for the last two decades through managing and getting several Tooth and Nail bands signed. He is also a visual and musical artist himself. Ryan also has Tourette's Syndrome and one of the most fun personalities out there.
