It's JP's birthday, and we're celebrating with a special episode covering one of the single-most legendary rock tracks in all of history--oh and maybe Rob forgot to do his research.

Random episode drop to celebrate a couple of blues legends doing something very cool together. You'll enjoy their chemistry just as much as ours. Check out "Young Fashioned Ways" available now, and enjoy the shenanigans!

Bad Company and Free drummer Simon Kirke joins us to wrap up the Winter Explosion and this iteration of The Great Song Podcast. Plus: Our rock and roll fantasies, and the "Beautiful Nightmare" that is David Lee Roth.

Rob and JP chat with a recent discovery artist who's fast become a favorite. Plus...Fantastic Cat, Adam Duritz, and sad bananas!

A legendary artist with a massive impact over a minuscule amount of time--Jim Croce finally gets his due on The Great Song Podcast. Episode 4 of our Winter Explosion EP.

Get your feels ready, because Max Carl and .38 Special are coming for ALL of them. Rob and JP chat with then-.38-Special-now-Grand-Funk frontman Max Carl about the song that made the biggest commercial success for the band, why rewrites are a good thing, and his career of amazing work.

Rob and JP gush over one of the most underrated guitarists and songwriters in the world, and chat with the Alvarez-beating, acoustic-slinging madman known as Monte Montgomery.

Back for a good time, but not for a long time--the boys are back and kicking off a new EP season with an absolute smash from one of the greatest rock bands of all time--AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." The man behind the pounding beat of the "Razors Edge" era sits down with us to talk about his time with Angus and Malcom Young and company, his latest release with the Chris Slade Timeline, and much more. Enjoy!

Alright alright alright! Your favorite Guitar Hero track brings our 5-episode EP run to a close--we're talking all things "Slow Ride" with Foghat's Roger Earl! Thanks for hanging with us for a short run of episodes. See you--soon? Your friends, Rob and JP

25 years from the landmark release of her mainstream debut Kansas, Jennifer Knapp returns to the source to release Kansas 25, a re-envisioning of the CCM classic. And she's here to tell us all about the process, her holy grail guitar, and her amazing gas station snack food of choice. Episode 4 of our special 5-episode July 2024 run.

One of the great supergroups and classic rock acts of all time breeds one of our greatest side conversations of all time, and we talk Cream and legacy with Malcolm Bruce, son of Cream's legendary bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce. Episode 3 of our 5-episode limited 2024 EP.

Matt Sorum of Velvet Revolver, Guns 'n Roses, and a million other amazing bands joins us to talk about VR's signature hits, trying to outdo Slash, playing to the song, and his gas station snack food of choice. This is episode 2 of 5 in our limited-run EP return.

The yellow and black attack kicks off our limited-return EP with a holy fury, and we've got frontman Michael Sweet to tell us all his favorite stories about Bible projectiles, angry protestors, and being a shy guy in a loud industry. Enjoy it while it lasts--GSP is back for 5 episodes only!

Surprise!

This is it. After 6+ years, 11 seasons and 275 episodes, the boys are putting the record back in the sleeve. And what better way to say farewell than do wholly dive into one of our longest-running references and in-jokes, Dio's absolutely epic and iconic "Holy Diver." In this nearly two-hour series finale, we'll squeeze the delicious juice from Ronnie James Dio's signature hit, get into his time with Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and more. We'll also dig back into our own history and do all the things one should do when closing up shop--we'll reminisce, hear from a few favorite friends (and a couple new surprises!), and present the Top Five songs we should have ended the show with. What else can we say? Thanks for listening. It's been fun. Share some memories and say goodbye on Facebook or Instagram.
