Ep 195: 20 Years of Blink-182 - Untitled
<br />
<br />
We get into early memories of the rollout, seeing the band tour the album in both big and small venues at the time, it’s legacy and staying power, and overall feelings having lived with it for 20 years.
<br />
<br />
Blink-182 will always be part of the Podioslave connective tissue, and we really enjoyed this trip back to 2003.

In episode 190 of the podcast, we’re joined by friend of the podcast and vocalist of Trawl, Sean M., to discuss another all time album: Finch - What It Is To Burn.

We start the episode with a new twist on our theme music. We sent it to Sean and the boys in Trawl and asked them to turn it into a real piece of music: drums, guitar and bass plugged in. They did not disappoint! We’re excited to debut this new piece of Nerdery, and couldn’t be happier with what they came up with. Thank you TRAWL!
