Any Man With A Microphone

Join us on our lucky 13th episode as we discuss Taylor Swift's recent Tampa concert (getting tickets, songs, the show itself, and all the records she is breaking in the process). We discuss the show's highlights and her first tour since releasing the studio albums Lover, folklore, evermore, and her most recent, Midnights.

Soundtracks are such a huge part of movies - creating a vibe for the film and telling its own story. Music can bring emotions that pictures and dialogue can't and in this episode we explore some of the best. Wide open---our topic touches scores, musicals, original songs for film, and general collections of songs for movies! From Jaws to E.T.; Singles to Pulp Fiction; In the Heights to the Little Mermaid; and perhaps more obscure soundtracks you may not be so familiar with. Join us as we go to the movies!

Look what we made her do... release a film of one of the biggest tours ever! The cultural phenomenon continues as Taylor Swift performs in a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience for the big screen. It is almost larger than life, and people are flocking to movie theaters like it's 1989! All glittered up and Bejeweled, our hosts went to see it, and it surpassed their Wildest Dreams! Listen and enjoy as they take you through it.

Our hosts discuss an unlikely topic: the Netflix documentary, "The Greatest Night in Pop," which highlights the 1985 recording of "We Are the World." The documentary goes behind the scenes of the recording process, as dozens of the era's hottest musicians and legends gathered in L.A. (for one night only) to record the single for African famine relief. We discuss the ups and downs and speculate what modern-day singers would be involved in such a project if it happened today.
(Mentioned in this episode: Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Bob Dylan, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Twenty-One Pilots, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran).

GOT IT COVERED! We delve into some of the most famous (and most obscure) rock covers ever released. We discuss our favorite (and not-so-favorite) covers that span genres and decades featuring a wide variety of bands.
From the Beatles' Twist and Shout to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' I Love Rock 'N Roll, and from Dolly Parton covering Collective Soul to other artists like Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bjork who bring their own unique perspective to songs and make them their own.
