Take This Pod and Shove It - Drinkin’ Songs (Patreon Exclusive PREVIEW)

This episode was recorded in the days following Danny's 40th birthday celebration, so it only made sense for the boys to discuss one of their favorite kinds of songs: Drinkin' songs! This episode is fun, loose, and it's...had a few, let's be honest.

Song Exploder - Kevin Morby – This Is a Photograph

Kevin Morby is a singer and songwriter based in Kansas City. He’s put out seven albums since 2013, including his most recent one, This is a Photograph, which just came out last week. For this episode, I talked to Kevin about the title track from This is a Photograph. It’s a story about his family, the pandemic, and memories of times that have happened — and times that haven’t happened yet.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 22: “In The Jailhouse Now” by Webb Pierce, w/ Michael Timlin

This week Danny and Tyler discuss forgotten country superstar Webb Pierce, and his hit version of "In The Jailhouse Now." They're joined by comedian and Webb Pierce fan, Michael Timlin (Work Sucks, I Know! Podcast). Webb Pierce may be a new name to many, but the dude basically owned country music radio in the 50's, so there's a lot of fun stuff to unpack and talk about.

The boys discuss Webb's (in)famous extravagance, faking it 'til you make it, and the illusive origins of "In The Jailhouse Now."

Enjoying the podcast? We're listener supported! Support us on Patreon HERE!

Webb Pierce had almost 100 charted hits, so here's a few songs to recommendations to narrow things down, if you're new to Webb:
A Thousand Miles Ago (not on streaming!)
There Stands The Glass
Walking The Streets
Wondering
You’re Not Mine Anymore
I’m Walking the Dog
Tupelo County Jail
Why Baby Why
I Aint Never
Pearl Beer Advert

Patrons of Take This Pod and Shove It can look forward to a behind-the-scenes episode of bonus material from our nearly 3-hour conversation with Michael Timlin. Become a Patron now to have access to that episode when it drops!

And make sure to check out the podcast Work Sucks, I Know! hosted by Michael Timlin.

Song Exploder - Arooj Aftab – Mohabbat

Arooj Aftab is a singer and composer based in Brooklyn. She grew up in Saudi Arabia, but her family is from Pakistan. And earlier this year, she made history by becoming the first Pakistani artist to win a Grammy. Her song, “Mohabbat" won the Best Global Music Performance Grammy, and she was nominated for Best New Artist. "Mohabbat" was first released on her 2021 album, Vulture Prince, but it’s been a part of Arooj’s life for a long time . In this episode, she tells the story of how the song was first born, and how it lived with her and evolved over the years before she finally recorded it.

Song Exploder - Partners: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

This week, I want to introduce you to another podcast that I make, called Partners. It’s a show about partnerships that was born out of Song Exploder. I’ve made a bunch of episodes with bandmates, or co-writers, or an artist and a producer who worked together, all these stories where the songs were the result of a really special collaboration. And I was always fascinated by the origins of the relationship, as part of the story of the origin of the song. When you hear those stories, it becomes clear that what these people made together is something that reflects not just each of them individually, but this other, unique entity that only exists where the two of them meet. And I wanted to make a podcast that was entirely about that idea. And I feel like all successful long-term partnerships could be thought of as love stories. It’s a matter of luck, and being in the right place at the right time, and also work and patience, plus some ineffable magic spark. So that’s what Partners is about. The first season came out in 2020, and the second season just began last week. You can subscribe to the show at partners.show, or wherever you get your podcasts, etc, but I also just want to play you this episode from season 2, with two music greats, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, who have made two incredible albums together.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 20: “New Ways To Fail” by Sarah Shook & The Disarmers

You can now support us on Patreon!

This week Danny and Tyler discuss the phenomenal songwriting and gut-busting honky tonk sound of Sarah Shook & The Disarmers. The North Carolina five-piece band is still a relatively new presence in the country music/alt country scene, but we think if you like barn burners you're gonna like 'em. We especially think you'll enjoy our song of the week, "New Ways to Fail," a brutally blunt, scream-along honky tonk tune.

In addition to talking about Sarah Shook and the talented members of The Disarmers, Tyler and Danny discuss country and punk's intertwined history, Sarah's activism, and (once again) a few choice phrases that would make excellent titles for ZZ Top b-sides.

Here's the other recommendations for anyone looking to check out more of Sarah Shook & The Disarmers:
Dwight Yoakam
The Nail
Years
No Name
Keep The Home Fires Burnin’
Good as Gold
Heal Me
Damned If I Do, Damned If I Don’t
Stranger
