Talk Toomey with Joshua Toomey
Joshua Toomey
In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into “the inner circle” of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesn’t meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

Rob "Blasko" Nicholson joins the Talk Toomey Podcast this week to discuss his latest venture entitled "A New Level". A New Level podcast recently dropped 10 episodes with interviews from music business veterans from all levels. Blasko also talks about his time in Drown, one of favorite bands in the 90s.

Vinnie Paul Remembered
I just learned of the passing of Vinnie Paul. I am, as you all know, a massive Pantera fan and this is all I could think to do. I tell a couple of stories about meeting Vinnie throughout the years and seeing him live. Vinnie was a monster behind the kit and a true rock star out from behind it. Please email stories about meeting Vinnie or seeing Pantera or Hellyeah live into the show and I can do a part 2 of this episode.
