In the latest episode of the Strange Currencies Podcast, Matt, Glenn, and Tim take another trip back to the nineties, revisiting the first five albums from one of the decade's biggest bands: Pearl Jam. Additional topics include Tim's recent near-death experience, the complicated politics of wearing shorts at work, and turn-of-the-century psychology. 

Matt, Glenn, and Tim mark the 25th anniversary of Matt's graduation from high school by discussing the music of the year 1997. Additional topics include fedoras, the general malaise of late-spring, and the difference between The Verve and The Verve Pipe.

In this "Deep Dive," Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss the new Pavement reissue release, Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal. Additional topics include Fruit Gushers, California Gold Rush-themed strip clubs, and the first episode of a new set-piece, "Taft Talk."

In the second "Runt of the Litter" installment, Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss the divisive Pixies reunion albums: Indie Cindy, Head Carrier, and Beneath the Eyrie. Additional topics include opening day baseball, "Transylvania Twist," and lying to Robert Pollard.

In this episode of the podcast, Matt, Glenn, and Tim ask the essential question: Do we really need Eric Clapton? SPOILER ALERT: The answer is "no," and the three hosts discuss other artists who could take Clapton's place in the pantheon of great rock guitarists. 

Matt, Glenn, and Tim inaugurate a new series in this episode of the Strange Currencies Podcast. "Runt of the Litter" focuses on neglected albums from respected artists in an attempt to rescue the reputations of some potential lost gems. This installment finds the hosts tackling a particularly fascinating phenomena: mid-career albums that beg the question, "what the f**k?"

In this episode of the Strange Currencies Podcast, Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss the merits of this year's nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, whittling the list down to the five artists they would induct into the Class of 2022. 

Last year, the Strange Currencies Podcast devoted an entire episode to their favorite music of 2020. However, 2021 left Matt, Glenn, and Tim feeling rather underwhelmed by new releases. In this episode, they discuss albums that caught their ear in 2021, the current state of the music industry, and a recent article in The Atlantic that ponders the question: "Is 'old' music killing 'new' music?"

In this episode of the Strange Currencies Podcast, Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss The Beach Boys' 1988 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In what is, unquestionably, the most "interstescene" episode of the podcast to date, the Strange Currencies hosts break down the very different speeches delivered by the band's co-founders: Brian Wilson and "Brian Wilson's cousin."

The Strange Currencies Podcast finally returns! In the super-sized Season 2 premiere, Matt, Glenn, and Tim are joined by a special guest as they discuss Peter Jackson's expansive new Beatles documentary, Get Back.

In the Season 1 finale of the Strange Currencies Podcast, Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss the Eagles' 1976 millions-selling album Hotel California. SPOILER ALERT: They're not fans. They'll discuss albums that might scratch the same itch, but are, well... better. Other topics of conversation include beer (one of which Glenn spills), their ongoing campaign to free The Surfragettes, and Glenn's highly-divisive "Hey-Oh!" sign-off.

In the latest episode of the Strange Currencies Podcast, Matt and Glenn examine Radiohead's new archival release, KID A MNESIA. They discuss the two classic albums that it collects, and the third "bonus disc" of previously unreleased material. Other topics include beer, sponsorship, and music criticism.
