Take This Pod and Shove It - LIVE in Chicago with Clark Jones, Lucia Whalen, and Mike O’Keefe

This week we present the fun and slightly-chaotic live show recorded at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago in late October 2022. On this episode we chatted with comedians Clark Jones (@clarklarewjones ), Lucia Whalen (@luciawhalen), and Mike O'Keefe (@themikeokeefe) about what they think is the best "gateway" country song. This, of course, turned into a friendly competition, and was followed by some panel vs audience country music trivia.

This episode was guest produced by Jesse Betend (@jessebetend), a talented podcast producer and editor living in Chicago.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 36: “Pancho & Lefty” by Townes Van Zandt, w/ Chris Canterbury

This week we talk to country singer Chris Canterbury (new album Quaalude Lullabies out now!) about one of his major musical influences, the late great Townes Van Zandt! In addition to adding the storytelling classic "Pancho & Lefty" to our Ultimate Country Playlist, we discuss Van Zandt's growing legacy, using sparse production to best serve a song, and the power and attraction of sad songs.

(The more patrons we have, the more bonus episodes we release! Thanks for your support!)

Chris Canterbury, our first-non comedian guest, is a singer-songwriter in Nashville by way of his native Louisiana. Canterbury's new album is Quaalude Lullabies, a nine track collection of mostly sad songs that offers on-the-nose lyrical phrasing, subtlety loose production, and an honest insight into razor-edge topics like addiction, depression, and loneliness. Danny and Tyler both highly recommend this new album!

We also have some recommendations for Townes Van Zandt songs, for anyone who is new to Townes and would like a place to start:

  • Rex’s Blues
  • To Live is To Fly
  • Loretta
  • Waitin’ Around to Die
  • Dead Flowers
  • Two Hands
  • I’ll Be Here in the Morning
  • If I Needed You
