Dangerville

Stepping into the pod lounge is Grand Rapids native singer, songwriter and producer Joel Ferguson, best known as the frontman of alternative rock band Papa Vegas, and resident bassist for The Verve Pipe.  We deep dive into the making of the Papa Vegas record Hello Vertigo, including the writing and tracking process, and how the record was promoted with artwork and tour stories…. We hear tales of Joel’s run ins with celebrity producers and mixers, like Don Gilmore, Ken Andrews, Tom Lord-Alge, and none other than Ice Cube….  After another edition of New of The World, we discuss the new Christopher Nolan movie Oppenheimer and the final Indiana Jones film. Later, Joel gives us the low down on his departure from The Verve Pipe. Soak it in. 

We’re back after a week off, with our homie Brian Williams up in the pod lounge! We talk about our favorite horror and sci-fi movies from directors like Tarantino, James Cameron and Sam Rami… then ATTACK the Daniel Craig James Bond franchise, before diving into another sensational edition of News of the World.  We also riff on the Taylor Schabusiness murder story, then go DEEP on Ancient Aliens and the recent congressional hearings on UFO’s / UAP’s.  We also touch on the recent Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa gig in Detroit, and discover an unbelievable Insane Clown Posse coincidence. 

Celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the show, funnyman Adam Wood rolls up on the pod lounge. We discuss how many 5 year olds you could beat up at once, the American Gladiators documentaries, the Hollywood strikes, and peeing your pants. Then for the 1 year anniversary we reach into the mail sack and hear from our avid listeners, before we dive into News of the World. Then we talk shit about the old days, who we would like to fight in a cage fight, and Epstein’s Island. Soak it in. 

Joining us in the Pod Lounge is luthier Russell Olmsted, owner of Northcoast Guitar Company. In the first hour Russell answers a ton of questions about guitars and guitar building. We talk about tone wood, pick ups, Gibson guitars, and Russell’s history as a luthier. A classic News of the World segment leads to real talk about Elon Musk, and later we nerd out about fantasy and sci-fi books like The Expanse and Lord of The Rings. Soak it in.
