The Chartographers

Here's a podcast to get so emotional over. Yes, Evan, Taran, and special returning guest and All-Star Nick Shoda explore what is truly the greatest love of all: the discography of the diva supreme that is Whitney Houston. The discussion gets so intense, we had to split this into two parts. It's not right ... but it's way OK!

For Season 3's first-ever Happy Hour Minisode, the Chartographers gang -- Evan, Taran, Left of Left Center's Ned O'Reilly, and Pharoah Hound's J.C. Sciaccotta -- start reelin' in the years by talkin' all things Dan, going over their worst track, Walter Becker's passing, the contracts that were signed, the producers that were involved, and so much more. Listener, don't lose that number, 'cos you now realize the Dan are champions in our eyes.

It's time to brandish your steely knives, 'cos we're throwing back the little ones and pan-frying the big ones in The Chartographers' Season 3 premiere! Evan & Taran return as hosts, and bring along All-Star guests like Left of Left Center's Ned O'Reilly and Pharoah Hound's J.C. Sciaccotta to talk all things Dan. No stone is left unturned, 'cos when it comes to ranking the Dan -- everything must go.

Yes, it's that (very first-ever) time of year! After their biggest season to date, Evan, Taran, and special guest John Gleason Teske host the First Annual Chartie Awards, looking back over two seasons worth of material and handing out awards like Best Mispronunciation, Worst Evan Intro, Most Memorable Artist Impression, and so much more!

Plus, dig our countdown of Season 2's five greatest comedic moments, a sneak preview at Season 3, and so much more. It's an awards show like no other, because, after all -- it's The Charties!

Oh! You pretty things. Time comes and goes, and here we are: at the very last episode of our second season. After what may very well go down as the most contentious #1 ranking of all time, Evan, Taran, and special guests Bobby "Major Bob" Evers and Jon "Kooky" Harvey go to town on tracking Bowie's many ch-ch-ch-changes, tackling his worst song, his best collaborators, his craziest music videos, and a fun surprise for our guests at the end.

Thank you for making Season 2 a stellar, runaway success. We'll see you at the Season 2 wrapup ... and then in Season 3.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, Chartographers are music junkies.

That's right, we wrap up our final ranking episode of Season 2 by having special gusts Jon Harvey and CHIRP's Bobby Evers swing by to tackle what turns out to be arguably the most contentious ranking for #1 of all time. Things still end up hunky dory for the guys, and oh, the pretty things they hit along the way. Listen, share, and enjoy!

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am! For the final artist of our second season, The Chartographers went all-out, not only tackling one of the most elusive discographies of all time (David Bowie), but also bringing back not one but two fan-favorite guests to help settle the score: most frequent guest Jon Harvey and CHIRP's Bobby Evers. The journey starts here, with the guys debating what is the Thin White Duke's worst album and then moving up from there ...

No need to feel like you're in a guilty cubicle -- this Happy Hour Minisode may as well be our major label debut, as Evan, Taran, and special guest Carlo Lopez talk about all things Broken Social Scene, from their worst song to numerous side-projects/other band commitments to Kevin Drew's endless gay-but-not-gay-but-totally-gay lyrics. Enjoy!

It's all ... gonna break! And by that, we mean it's all going to come together in some sort of K.C. Accidental fashion. Yes, Evan, Taran, and special guest Carlo Lopez go up and down this shoreline to determine what is the single greatest Broken Social Scene song. Yes, the guys go for the sweetest kill while avoiding your run-of-the-mill shampoo suicide, so grab your Feist tour t-shirt and strap in: before you know it, you'll already be halfway home.

Is our time with Arcade Fire over? Li-iees! Li-iees! Before the power goes out, Evan, Taran, and special guest Ryan Donahue dive straight in to Arcade Fire's worst song, live experience, label drama, and so much more. So controversial, it may just start a suburban war (I'm told), but probably will just give you some creature comfort. Enjoy!
