So, it’s been a long time and we’re so incredibly super late with a new podcast that I felt it was necessary to issue an apology and explain the situation.

After the first ten episodes of the show, all intentions were for us to continue recording after a short hiatus during which time John and myself both were to move house. This all happened – the house moving, that is – and plans were made for new shows. But then those plans were delayed and those delays were postponed and, all of a sudden, John had gone done moved house again to a location much more geographically conducive to our working together on creating new shows.

It then took a couple more months, many of which were spent happily seeing each other more often – having been divided by the distance – and all of which were spent, by my co-host, falling in love. Now, with love in our hearts and pent-up music discussion in our brains, we return to the fray with a new, revamped and rebooted version of the show.

Where in the past the shows were themed around a particular album or a concept (symphonic metal, Washington hardcore etc.) they will now focus on a single song each week. We will choose the song, we will tell you what the song is at the end of the previous episode and then we will listen to the song every day leading up to the show. Then, on the show, we will discuss the song along with anything and everything, no matter how tangential or irrelevant it may seem, that it provokes.

We’ll also chat about the songs we’ve been listening to in that given week and we’ll chat about anything else we want to. The primary result will be that the show becomes more focused and less sprawling. The length will be curtailed to fit within a broad 30 minutes – 1 hour timeframe.

Outside of the show, the blog will have daily contributions of songs we are listening to, old and new, along with monthly Spotify playlists which will include everything talked about on the show and everything else in between.

The shows will start going up in about a week or so, but the blogging will start by the end of the week at the latest, so please check back and start enjoying what we have to offer.

Good to be back, folks. Good to be back.
