This is Podelay, a podcast dedicated to alternative rock pioneer Beck Hansen! After completing their Pod of Doom series, Randy Allain (Media/Lit) and Justin Mancini (TheCineMaverick.com) are back to take on a whole new genre. Our resident music podcasters are joined by Kris Ingersoll of Batman by the Numbers and the Media/Lit podcast, and this time, Randy steps into the host chair so that Justin can discover something new.
In the third episode, the hosts delve into Mr. Hansen’s major label debut, Mellow Gold, bringing the weird despite the new studio backing. Exploring the timelessness of “Loser” and several underrated tracks on this breakthrough album, the hosts discuss proto-manic pixie dream girls, the hip-hop potential of Delta blues, and moments of clarity brought to you by…the Care Bears?
In every episode, each host will spotlight the following:
- Where It’s At: a track they really like.
- It’s A Loser, Baby: a track they don’t.
- Sing It Again: a favorite lyric.
- Such A Beautiful Way: a favorite musical moment.
Join them as they travel to a destination a little up the road from the conversations and the pods you know. Please join us for the show that poses one simple question: I’m a podcast, baby, so why don’t you stream me?
