In this episode Josh and Joe talk with veteran rock music writer and critic Rob Mitchum about his use of the term "Dad Rock", his love of the Grateful Dead and Phish, and his career at Pitchfork. It's a long conversation, but really good (at least we think so)! Afterwords, the guys discuss the music they have been listening to recently. Spotify playlist: https://spoti.fi/3cvhdMI.

Explicit Content

In this episode Josh, Joe, and Steve discuss music and media with "explicit content" and whether clean versions of songs actually work or not. They also discuss growing up when the "Parent Advisory" sticker became a huge deal, how their parents felt about explicit content, and how they, as parents, feel about it today. As always, the guys close with the music they are listening to, and you can find a playlist of songs heard on the show here: https://spoti.fi/2XflLR2. Recorded July 2, 2020.
