June 21, 2016 Tuesdays With Mary: Saturday night's alright for Isbell And Stapleton
Mary and her pal Meghan Hoyer took in a show Saturday night, heading up to the Jason Isbell/Chris Stapleton co-headlining show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
In a Patrick-hosted pod, Mary and Meghan discuss the show, the problems with co-headlining and seeing a Confederate flag on the way into the venue. Let's spread our blankets on the lawn and listen, shall we?

June 20, 2016 Bonus Track: Hey hey we're (talking about) The Monkees
The Monkees celebrate their 50th anniversary with a brand new — and really good — new album called 'Good Times!'
The record is filled with songs from some well-known writers, many of whom you might not expect are Monkees fans. Those include Paul Weller (The Jam), Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Andy Partridge (XTC) and Rivers Cuomo (Weezer).
Dad Rock hosts Jim Lenahan and Patrick Foster are joined by USA TODAY art director Jeff Dionise, who has been a Monkees fan since an early age (five to be exact!). The guys each pick one new Monkees song and one older, making for a fun and lively Bonus Track.

June 10, 2016 Ep. 68 - The Heavy in studio
Kelvin Swaby and Dan Taylor make up the core of British soul-funk-garage-rock-punk band The Heavy. The band scored a breakout hit with 2009's "How You Like Me Now?" (featured in numerous movies, TV shows, trailers, etc.) and continues to pack venues with high-energy parties that get the audience singing along.
Kelvin and Dan visited Dad Rock HQ for an interview that ranged from movies to parenting to English football. They also fielded questions from fans via Facebook Live.
The Heavy's new album is "Hurt & the Merciless," and the band is touring the USA. Learn more at http://www.theheavy.co.uk

June 07, 2016 Tuesdays With Mary - The Ted Leo Power Half-Hour
When Mary and Patrick started talking music a few years ago, they discovered a mutual interest in Ted Leo. Jim recently saw Ted Leo perform. So it seems like a good time to examine the punk/power pop/jangle pop of this indie singer-songwriter.

June 04, 2016 Ep. 67 - For The Win's songs of 2016 (so far)
USA TODAY's For The Win predominantly covers sports (hence the name). But Nate Scott draws upon his experience as a music critic to craft a weekly feature called "10 best songs of the week" (along with collaborator Charlotte Wilder).
Dad Rock is always in search of interesting new music (it's so hard to keep up these days). So we invited Nate to visit the studio and drop some best-songs-of-the-year-so-far knowledge on us.
