Welcome to the July episode of 53:5 - The Official Stryper podcast, born during a 4-hour drive from Champlain, New York. In this episode with some suggestions by my friend Amy M, and former Plasmatics guitarist Richie Stotts (pictured above), I will connect Stryper to many bands including The Fugs and Lawrence Welk! How do it do it? You will just have to listen and find out. Plus, all the info you need for Michael Sweet and former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland's upcoming appearances in Connecticut. Enjoy!

Welcome to another episode of 53:5 - The Official Stryper Podcast, for June of 2026! In this episode, I'm forced to record on the run again, but I think you'll agree... this show is better than average! The theme to this show is first 'singles', or songs released to get the hype and machine going. And, these songs are from Stryper's last six studio albums, putting a focus on the Stryper of now! Enjoy, and thanks for listening... and Happy Birthday Oz!
