Bringing Back Grunge The United Kingdom's Zilch is quickly becoming one of the leading bands in the growing neo-grunge movement, blending the raw energy and emotion of '90s grunge with a fresh modern sound. As someone who grew up during the grunge era, it's exciting to see bands like Zilch keeping that spirit alive for a new generation. I first discovered Zilch on TikTok, then started following their journey on Instagram and adding their music to my regular Spotify rotation. Their sound immediately stood out, and I knew I wanted to learn more about the band behind it. In this interview, we dive into Zilch's origin story, first band names, musical influences, songwriting, the surprising reason he says he sounds nothing like James Hetfield of Metallica, and much more. If you're a fan of grunge, alternative rock, post-grunge, or discovering new independent bands, this is an interview you won't want to miss.

I Mouth The Words Our guest this week is voice actor Joe Sanfelippo. Joe is an exceptional voice actor and book narrator. You’ve heard him on shows and movies like Aquaman, Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse, Hotel Transylvania 2 and 3, Orange is the New Black, Grownish, The Morning Show, and many more. If you have listened to the audible reading of Gyro and the Argonauts by Joshua Pruett, then you have heard him as both the book's narrator and its lead character - Gyro! And honestly, Joe CRUSHES it with this reading. Totally worth getting the audio to hear his narration and, as you will hear him call it, his version of a squeaky Michael J. Fox for Gyro. In our chat, we will discuss his origin story, the process of bringing his characters to life, and what the future holds for Joe.

Horror, She Wrote This week, we sat down with one of the PCA family members, Mimi Schweid. Mimi is an up-and-coming, award-winning writer of short stories. She writes about horror stuff, but also poetry and prose. Mimi is also one of the most voracious readers you will ever meet, and we go into a lot of detail about her love of books, what she's reading now, her comfort reads, and the books she recommends for you to check out and hopefully enjoy.

Remembering John Eimen In this replay, we share a conversation we had with John Eimen, may he rest in peace. Honestly, he was one of the sweetest and kindest men you could ever hope to meet. John, as a young man, was involved in so many important pieces of pop culture, both on TV and in print media. He was a child star in shows like Twilight Zone, Wagon Train, Leave it to Beaver, McKeever and the Colonel, and more. We talked with Jonn about his work, his exit from Hollywood, and why he made the choices that he did. We talked about the music he made and his influences on that music. It is our hope that you will listen to this replay and see the beauty of John Eimen - well that, and the bloopers Tim makes trying to say goodbye ....
