SAMSARA joins the program for a very special episode. They shatter the glass ceiling becoming the first group of multiple people to appear on the show simultaneously, and break down an album of their own making, AND ALSO set a runtime record! With the help of some Four Lokos, John and the band dissect their first full-length album, whatever helps you sleep at night.

They also talk music news, Outside Lands, Cameron Winter, band name origins, album concepts, musical influences, and much much more! Grab a Stanley cup of chilled white wine and play along, sip (responsibly), and watch out for those buzzwords.

Mitchell Altman, an outsider artist joins the program. You can’t hear his very strange work anywhere, but John trusts him so you should too. He has several pages of notes. And those notes are all about Ween’s second album The Pod. An album as brown as can be. Barbed wire covered in mud. The dirtiest sound in the world, but it’s so good. If you think you don’t like Ween, we suggest you stop that and start worshipping Ween now. Grab a brew and play along, gulp (responsibly), and chomp a pork roll egg & cheese whenever Mitchell says a buzzword!

Jake Marino AKA Count Harriet of the brand new Trust the Process Podcast joins the program to break down the album 5 by SAULT. One of eleven studio albums released since 2019 by the prolific British music collective, Jake and John discuss how 5 redefines the concept of lo-fi, disregards any notion that lyrics need to be comprehensible, and perfectly blends a plethora of different musical genres and eras to create a contemporary classic. Grab a drink and play along, nurse a negroni (responsibly) whenever Jake says a buzzword!
