In our pilot episode, Barry and Abigail speak “comprehensively and encyclopedically” about R.E.M.’s catalog, based on a challenge from R U Talkin’ R.E.M. RE: ME?, and taste Embla and Mahogany Tiger⁠ from Odd Breed Wild Ales in Pompano Beach, Florida.

For the real music nerds among you, we have compiled full playlists for all of the albums and the three-track “sandwiches” we discussed:

Collapse Into the (Full) Catalog - Barry’s Picks

Collapse Into the (Full) Catalog - Abigail’s Picks
