#561 God and Aliens with Robin Hanson

All we ever do is make music, talk shit, and do fun things that lead to good stories. That's what the Emery culture is about. We love telling you band stories and even more, we love convincing your favorite artists to tell their stories... even the ones they probably shouldn't. 

Join us each week to hear amazing stories from the road, Song Rescue (where we roast and improve listeners songs), the Damn News, and more!

What is music?

Have you seen The Macropodine Inclusive Labefaction Festival Announcement!?!?! Emery is not on it even though we really had high hopes to play that fest and let us tell you people are angry we aren’t. We talk about those angry milfs and also give thanks for being the 4th best band ever according to most polls.
