The Bladtcast says goodbye to 2023 with a super-sized collection of not one, not two, but three great interviews from 2023. First up, Christian welcomes Aaron Leigh of Y&T back to the show to discuss his new solo song "Bahia Sunshine" (and have a wonderful walk down memory lane to the time Kiss were on the PBS show 3-2-1 Contact).

Then, we meet Leo & Parker of Wings of Steel who talk about their song "Leather and Lace" and, finally, the last interview of 2023 with Gene Potts of Colossal Street Jam, whose new song is called "No Way To Live".

Christian chats with Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals for the first time and then he welcomes back to the show Dale Lytle of the band Angeles.

It's Christmas, so time for another bonus episode! In this one, Christian has two great musician conversations. First up, Tesla's Frank Hannon returns to talk about his new song "Fool's Delight", some of the upcoming touring for Tesla in 2024 and he guarantees that he will record a Christmas song in time for Christmas 2024. Then, Bryan Jay of the Ron Keel Band talks about his career and his latest project, Dogbone.

A Life Day Special: Christian shares a conversation he did earlier this month for the Geekscape network, chatting with filmmaker Jeremy Coon about his documentary "A Disturbance in the Force", about the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. Not to be confused with the 1979 Star Wars Christmas album, which we covered in our previous episode.

Our 2023 Bladtcast Christmas Spectacular is a musical one. Christian welcomes the entire gang from the Shitty Song of the Week podcast (Branden, Teresa and Red) to go track-by-track through the 1979 Star Wars Christmas album, "Christmas in the Stars". (Not to be confused with the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, but more on that tomorrow.) It being the Bladtcast, you shouldn't be surprised that there was also an unexpected detour towards Kiss's "Music From The Elder".

(ALSO: be sure to catch Christian on the Christmas Day episode of "Shitty Song of the Week", going through some TRULY shitty Christmas songs.)

Christian and Agent Starling welcome back to the show Thomas Parham to offer their immediate premiere-day SPOILER-FILLED reactions to "Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom". They also discuss the futures of both the DCEU and MCU, plus some exciting changes in Agent Starling's life.

Christian welcomes Carlos Danger of "Insufferable Bastards" back to the show to discuss the highly controversial 1984 horror classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night". They also spend some time with Armando Munoz who just published the official novelization of the film.

Christian welcomes back to the show Rich Kosak of Kiss Tribute Band Mr. Speed to discuss Kiss's final live shows in their "End of the Road" tour, both of which Rich attended at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Christian spends the entire show with radio and podcast host Chad Vice. They discuss broadcasting with a focus on music, the importance of a variety of hard rock and heavy metal in their lives and much more!

Christian has two great musician interviews to share. First up, Jim Peterik of Ides of March and Survivor talks about his new album "Roots & Shoots Vol. 1". Then, Jeff Keith of Tesla talks about their latest album "Full Throttle Live" which includes a cover of the Aerosmith classic "SOS (Too Bad)".
