The Chartographers

In The Chartographers 100+ episodes and 45+ artists covered, somehow, the boys haven't gotten around to covering country, so when it came time to pick an artist to cover, you know what we had to go with: the iconiclastic, genre-bending, play-by-her-own-rules troubadour that is Shelby Lynne! Evan, Taran, and special guest Nathan Dunbar go through all things Shelby as they rank her wide, expansive, and consistently-changing discography for luminous effect. It's a journey about as lovely as the day that Johnny met June.

Enjoy!

We're back, baby! After a long break, The Chartographers are back with a five-artist mini-season where the picks are niche and the experiments are bold. So what better way to kick things than with Evan, Taran, and special guest Jill Meyer [@thatwanderingwoman] diving deep into the discography of Jonna Lee/iamamiwhoami/ionnalee, the avant-garde synth experimentalist who has a long, beautiful, twisting career that we just can't get enough of. Enjoy!

The Chartographers are back ... almost! As we start ramping up for a fun, short mini-season, Evan & Taran sit down to welcome everyone back to the insanity of the podcast, unveil the artists that will be ranked in Season 4, and throw back to 2018 to talk about their favorite releases of that year. It's fun, goofy, and perfect for those fans who have been asking where the hell the boys have been. Enjoy!

After wrapping up a third season of album-ranking delights, leave it to co-creators Evan Sawdey, Taran O'Reilly, and special guest John Gleason Teske to once again host an absurd, self-congratulatory award show that has the gang look back and present in categories such as Best Mispronunciation, Worst Evan Intro, Best Taran One-Liner, and so much more.

So join us to laugh along with our Top 5 Comic Moments, learn of our plans for Season 4, and most of all, just keep listening -- 'cos you know that we'll be!

It's the last episode of The Chartographers epic Season 3, but it's not Goodnight Saigon quite yet. No, Evan, Taran, and a special guest Brice Ezell let it loose in one of the goofiest, longest Happy Hour Minisodes on record, where we talk about Billy's worst song, the deals the screwed him over, and may or may not tell you the story of how he wants his farewell tour to be staged ... more than a few times. Enjoy, and thank you, friends!

He may throw shadows at you, but he's always the Piano Man to us. When it comes to ranking the hits of Billy Joel, we can never leave a tender moment alone, so leave it to Evan, Taran, and a special guest Brice Ezell to go to extremes in order to nail down that best Billy Joel album. Enjoy!

When it comes to ending the epic third season of The Chartographers, we had to do it with a Big Shot. That's right: the entertainer himself Billy Joel goes under our pop music microscope, and Evan, Taran, and a special guest in the form of Consequence of Sound's Brice Ezell take on this not-so-innocent man and rank his albums from worst to first. You may hear these rankings and think "... you may be right."
