It’s Podwork Angels: The Rush Hour, a podcast dedicated to the Canadian rock band Rush! Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes is joined by fellow Cinema Joes podcast host Noah Franc of FrancNoir, as well as Luke Martin, host of Talking the Coda, as they delve into the discography of Canada’s favorite sons, from 1974 to 2012.
In the 13th episode of the season, Justin, Luke, Noah, and recurring guest Chris venture into the 1990s to tackle Rush’s tributes to chance and duality with Roll the Bones and Counterparts, respectively. The hosts make many an ill-conceived pun, spin concert-going memories of rapping skeletons, and reveal way too much about gastrointestinal maladies while on the road. And of course, they recommend artists apart from Rush for your listening pleasure.
