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!

Revisiting Ep. 6 Chris Kael (Five Finger Death Punch)
Revisiting and remastering my talk with Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch. The levels on the original episode were all over the place and would blow out your ears if you weren't careful. The interview with Chris took place in Sept of 2015. Lots of great stories. Also this episode features Aljon Go of WDW Tiki Room and Prowrestlingcast.

Revisiting Ep. 4 Fred Coury (Cinderella) Bill Allen (RAD) revisted
I took down a few of the first episodes due to audio issues. I am going through them and fixing some of the levels. The interviews are still there. These were the first attempts at podcasting and have some warts, but I think they are still good listens. If you haven't already listened to this episode, check it out. Fred Coury was a fun interview. Bill Allen was great too.
