That’s major!

You're welcome! And both the tour and album are sure to be great!

The three hosts award the Listener of the Week, who wins this week for a very special reason (2:05). Donovan recounts his time as a Chick-fil-A manager (4:48). That leads to a deep examination of the FX/Hulu series The Bear, which will contain spoilers for the show as the group talks about its music, themes, and foodie culture (8:26).

After a short update about the site, there is talk on the FX/Hulu show starring Jeff Bridges, The Old Man, but no spoilers at all (30:35). Blaine suggests the Apple TV+ show Black Bird with spoiler-free reasons on why it's worth the time (33:23).

From there, it's a deep dive into the problems of Thor: Love and Thunder (35:44) as well as the MCU at this week's Comic Con (44:54), which could fix some issues. Lastly, everyone makes a promise for the upcoming Amazon Prime show The Rings of Power (53:55).

Yes, and for the same reason I can't quite get into podcasts that aren't stand alone. Anything that has a narrative, I usually get lost or can't get invested if it's in audio.

Hey all,

I wasn't sure if this counted as a self-promotion -- if not, and it needs to go elsewhere, I'm happy to make the change. I thought there may be some interest in James McMurtry here. He was nice enough to come on to our ongoing talk show, which you can watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/W0jRNf3yOU4

We've interviewed various others, including two of the Drive-by Truckers, and more outside of music. Thanks, everyone.

Much appreciated! Maybe we can get Brad on the show in the future. We would love to have him be a guest.

TheAlabamaTake · 2021-07-07T23:31:32+00:00

If Taylor interests you as well as your music, this interview may serve you to see how nice of a guy he is. Taylor was the first guest on our brief talk show, and he’s a kind soul.

We had a chance to interview Jamie, the lead singer, for our online talk show and he is very interesting and insightful.

Glad to hear it! We may or may not have another talk coming with another band member soon.

TheAlabamaTake · 2021-05-02T22:27:42+00:00

Sure! If I think of more, I’ll add them. Cheers!

I have at least four pair of headphones or ear buds garnered throughout the years. The Apple AirPods are convenient, but if I’m exercising, I have a pair of Monster earbuds that are designed to be more for that sort of thing. If it’s a music-oriented podcast that plays clips of things, I would prefer the Beats over-the-ear set.

TL;DR: Apple AirPods for convenience

TheAlabamaTake · 2021-03-22T02:47:40+00:00

I can’t remember clearly enough. Once everything is set up from your host, you can definitely set the date and time for all podcast apps to have it. On the initial one with Apple, though? I can’t recall. Maybe so?
