Podioslave Podcast

In episode 346 of the podcast, we’re joined by Dylan Slocum (vocals/guitar) of Spanish Love Songs. 

We dig into all kinds of music nerdery in this convo including the band’s evolution, creative process, having fun along the way and their excellent new album, ‘Future Nausea’, out this Friday November 6th on Pure Noise Records. 

This was a convo we’ve had circled since the start of the podcast, and we’re so stoked it happened. SLS forever!

In episode 345 of the podcast, we look back on 30 years of Sublime’s seminal self-titled album. 

We dig into our early memories of the record, the context of the time, how versatile Bradley Nowell was as a front person, and much, much more. 

This was an important album for us collectively as music nerds, one we wouldn’t be here without.

In episode 344 of the podcast, we’re joined by Jason Georgiades (filmmaker) and Sophia Possidon (photographer) to discuss 10 years of ‘Desert Age: A Rock and Roll Scene History’. 

We dig into how the documentary was made, some all time stories from Sophia regarding the desert rock scene in the 80’s and 90’s, Jason’s love for origin stories, and the doc getting some additional footage and a re-release in November on YouTube. 

The desert rock scene is something we’ve loved from afar, from Kyuss to Queens of the Stone Age and all the bands surrounding it. We think you’ll really dig the documentary. 

If you’re in the Palm Springs area on November 7, 2026, there will be a screening and Q&A with participants in the film. Tickets can be acquired here.

In episode 343 of the podcast, we’re joined by Aaron Dalbec, guitarist of Bane. We dig into 25 years of the band’s classic album, ‘Give Blood’.

We hit on the context of the time for the band, Aaron being a part of two seminal albums in heavy music in ‘Give Blood’ and Converge’s ‘Jane Doe’, their writing process, working with Brian McTernan again, and much more. 

Aaron is a real one. The story of how this convo came to be is also an all-timer. Long live Bane.

In episode 340 of the podcast, we discuss an old favorite: great opening tracks. 

How important is the first song on an album? More than you might think. A great opening track can set the mood, establish a sound, introduce a story, or grab your attention so completely that you know you’re in for something special.

For the third time, we’re digging into some of the greatest album opening tracks ever recorded. From explosive introductions and unforgettable hooks to atmospheric scene-setters and songs that immediately announce an artist’s intentions, this episode celebrates the tracks that know exactly how to open an album.

If you want to hear all of the album openers discussed over the life of the pod, you can listen HERE.

In episode 339 of the podcast, we’re joined by Carl Severson, founder of Ferret Music, Good Fight Entertainment, and vocalist of Nora.

We kick things off with a little Ferret history and the story behind the label’s return before digging into three classic releases from Every Time I Die, Killswitch Engage, and Remembering Never.

We talk about how each band landed on Ferret, Carl’s memories of putting the records out, and what made them special—both at the time and all these years later. Plenty of stories from behind the scenes and everything in between.

Carl was an all-time guest, and conversations like this remind us why we love doing this podcast.

This episode goes out to Andy Williams and Mean Pete Kowalsky - forever and always.

In episode 338 of the podcast, we take a look back at the way things were in music…..”Back In My Day”.

We each bring a few scenarios to the table from the turn of the century: Was it easier to discover music? What was it like buying concert tickets? How did we find out about albums/shows? We tackle all of this and more. Come for the music banter, stay for the deep Maine lore.

In episode 337 of the podcast, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Slipknot’s ‘IOWA’, the landmark album released in 2001 that pushed the boundaries of just how heavy mainstream metal could get.

We look back on our early memories of ‘IOWA’, how we first connected with the record, the context surrounding Slipknot and heavy music in 2001, and what made the album feel so dangerous and different at the time.

We also dig into the album itself — the songs, sound, production, imagery, and intensity — before looking at ‘IOWA‘s lasting legacy and its influence on the heavy music that followed.

Twenty-five years later, ‘IOWA’ remains one of the defining heavy albums of its era, and we continue to ride for it.

Long live the ’Knot.
