MOSH POD

SEX SEX SEX!!! Ok, now that we have your attention, join us for an awkward and awesome family discussion of rock n' roll in all its raunchy glory. These are the bands, artists, albums and songs that elevate the artform to its sleaziest heights. Discover the true meaning of "Rock n' Roll" along with us, plus, hear the legend of Guy Mann-Dude (he's a real guy, dude).

"Nope! Shut up! Next!" If you've ever found yourself shouting anything like this at your device whenever a certain song comes on, then you know exactly what we’re getting at. Those tunes that drive you up the wall and you can't avoid easily enough. Join us as we painfully reveal our top five most annoyingest songs.

We have certified movie buff and long-time friend Chris Goodwin with us to talk all things Wayne's World. Suffice it to say...we're not worthy! The first episode in our rock n' roll-infused film series, Chris takes us into a world of head-banging, Alice Cooper-worshipping, cable access-starring rock fans that uncannily resemble Chris, Daniel, and their buddies. He's put on the spot to guess whose fake band name is whose, along with lots of other shenanigans.

Sometimes hatable, seldom imitatable, these big-headed rockers have stood out to us as their own biggest fans. Join us as we surprise one another (and sometimes not so much) and reveal our Top 5 picks for biggest egos in rock. Is their self-centeredness sometimes justified? You decide! See which big-wig ends up on all three of our lists, and stay tuned for some honorable mentions.

This episode is all about TV shows from the '90s and '00s that catapulted Daniel and Ariella's mutual adoration for all things music and pop culture! We talk Headbangers Ball, Pop-Up Video, MTV Unplugged, and more. Hear our extremely varied takes on Carson Daly, what these shows gave us without the option to stay in our music comfort zone, and the unique, untouchable je ne sais quoi of Behind the Music: "...but offstage, things were falling apart."

Welcome to our first-ever MOSH POD micro episode! And our first-ever MOSH POD on the road episode! WOOHOO! The sibs steal a few minutes during our annual family vacation to Ogunquit, ME, to revisit some awesome beachside memories fused with ROCK.

The sibs dive into the bands, artists, and live shows so EPIC they crack you wide open. Ariella reads from a personal essay, “The Death and Life of Sincerity in Rock ’n’ Roll,” and we unpack our own spiritual rock ’n’ roll experiences—from teenage awakenings to the shows that still shake us now. We trace how “feelings” have evolved both inside and outside the stadium, and yes, we’ve somehow come up with a fresh batch of band names we can’t wait to share.

We magically transport you back to 1991 to revisit some of the defining music of the year (it was much more than Pearl Jam happening, but we do discuss them too). Daniel drops a mind-bending theory of how '91 was actually one of the best years of the 80's (What?!) Plus, we describe all the best (and worst) types of people to run into at a show.

Spouse of the pod, Dr. Jakob W. Sedig, educates the sibs on an elite genre of rock n' roll: Butt Rock. How did the name originate? What parts of the country do these bands hail from? Where do certain bands fall on the Butt Rock Venn Diagram? Which of the sibs are closet fans (or not-so-closet fans) of quintessential butt rockers? Come for the hot takes; stay for the educational journey!

It's May, which means it's Mental Health Awareness Month (not to be confused with Metal Health, the 1983 album by Quiet Riot, featuring hits like "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)" and "Cum on Feel the Noize"). The sibs discuss music that matches the mood, songs that give us a necessary boost, and the benefits of experiencing live music for emotional well‑being. Wanna hear about fake bands that wouldn't give a shit about your mental health? Cuz we've got loads of 'em!
