This week on America’s Podcast, we’re joined by family member Travis Perrotta as we dive into Bob Seger’s legendary 1976 album, Night Moves!
Is Night Moves a stone-cold classic that belongs in every rock collection? Or is it the kind of rock ‘n’ roll you’d rather forget? 🤔 Is Bob Seger as American as apple pie? 🇺🇸🥧 We definitely have some opinions… but that’s all you’re getting because…

August 07 Episode 577-Y&T-Ten
This week on America’s Podcast, we’re getting hot and heavy with Y&T’s Ten… and yes, family member Travis Perrotta is joining us for the ride.
Some of us think Ten is one of the most criminally underrated albums to come out of the early ‘90s. Others? Well… let’s just say they’re not exactly ready to put a ring on it. 😏
Is Ten a forgotten gem that’s just waiting to seduce your ears? Or should it stay locked away in the bargain bin, collecting dust? The gloves come off, the opinions fly, and the rock ‘n’ roll gets loud.
It’s gonna be phat, radical, and all that and a bag of chips!
But remember…
NO SPOILERS! 🤘

July 17 Episode 575-Testament-The Ritual
This week on America’s Podcast, Marc is joined by family member Tim Wirasnik and a familiar voice who’s basically already a co-host, Andy Rodriguez! (Officially, that title wouldn’t come for a few more episodes, but let’s be honest… he already earned it.)
This week we tackle Testament’s The Ritual and ask the question: Is it a true metal classic, or is it… Disney Metal? Yeah, we went there! The debate gets spirited as we break down the album, its place in Testament’s catalog, and whether it still holds up today.
Along the way, we take a side trip into an interesting discussion about how Metallica helped shape and grow heavy metal, but that’s all we’re giving away. No more spoilers—you’ll have to listen to hear the rest!

Tracks of the Week: 🎵
Tim – Black Sabbath – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 🎵
Andy – Overkill – Elimination 🎵
