98: We're Still Here

We're back after a mini (and unforeseen) little break in our podcasting schedule. But, things are now back on track. This week's episode of the podcast looks at some follow-up on our last episode and The Wonder Years, Apple Music's trial ending and if we're going to keep paying for it, how we handle and get album advances, the new TWIABP album, the new Motion City Soundtrack album, Ryan Adams' '1989' cover album, and the whole Collect Records/pharma-bro thing. Thank you to everyone that listens to our podcast each week. We've got some really awesome things prepared for the future of the podcast and we're sorry for disappearing for the past three weeks.

Next Episode

100: This Is Encore

We made it to the 100th episode of our podcast -- now it's time to shake things up. Today we'd like to introduce you to the new podcast: Encore. We've undergone a name change, a little re-brand, and we're coming at you with a brand new special episode this week. This week's topics look at the reasons we decided to make this change, the process we went through in picking our new name and logo, the announcement of a special teespring campaign for limited edition Encore t-shirts, a special segment with guest Drew Beringer (where we talk about new music, what Drew's been up to, technology, and all kinds of stuff), and then -- of course -- we end talking about Jesse Lacey's emotional speech and the thoughts of Brand New calling it a day. We think it's an episode worthy of this milestone. I'd just like to take a moment to thank each and every one of our listeners for going on this journey with us. When we started the podcast I had no idea what it would be or become. I had no idea that I would end up looking forward to recording an episode each week. I had no idea we'd be able to grow it to the audience we have. It sounded fun to try and it has ended up being one of the highlights of my entire career here on the website. So, from Thomas, Drew, and I -- truly thank you. I hope you enjoy this episode, and maybe the next 100, as much as I know I will recording them. We're very excited about the new launch, logo, and t-shirts -- they're only available for about three weeks, so act fast. And if you like our show, we'd love it if you could help spread the word. Maybe tell a friend about the podcast, post about it on Twitter or Facebook, share our new logo, recommend it on Overcast or rate it in iTunes. Any of those things really would go a long way in helping us continue to grow the show and reach even more music fans. If everything goes to plan you won't need to re-subscribe to the podcast (the new version should show up in your podcast player of choice).

Sponsor:

A huge thank you to Portal Frame for sponsoring the 100th episode of our newly named podcast.
