On todays episode we start in Maryland with Neil Fallon, frontman of the band Clutch. His voice is unmistakable — part sermon, part storm — and so is his beard. We’ll take a look at how his signature look has become part of his presence both on and off the stage

Then, to New York. After nearly half a century, the Yankees have lifted their facial hair ban. What does it mean when one of baseball’s most image-conscious franchises finally lets the beard back in? We’ll dig into that history — and what’s changed. 

And also in the show, we have an intimate and personal conversation with Chuck Ragan — the unmistakable voice behind Hot Water Music, and a man just as at home on a riverbank as he is on a stage. He joins us to talk about fishing, fatherhood, his life as a musician and solo artist, and his new record, Love and Lore.

And our special guest is Mike Brewer from coffee with Brewer and The Bearded respect. Wanderer, veteran and java afficianado - you won't want to miss the story he has to tell.

It’s music, movies, and the best in beard culture—because greatness is always a little better with a beard.

The Glorious beard podcast - Episode 7

March is here, and with it comes stories of legendary figures whose legacies shaped history. This episode dives into the real story behind St. Patrick, the man who wasn’t even Irish but became Ireland’s patron saint. We unravel the myths, explore his time as a captive shepherd, and examine how his mission forever changed the Emerald Isle.

Then, we spotlight Bayard Rustin, the strategist behind the 1963 March on Washington. As an openly gay Black man in the early 20th century, he faced challenges that nearly erased his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. Yet, his influence shaped the fight for justice in ways that still resonate today.

And of course, beware the Ides of March! We revisit the infamous assassination of Julius Caesar, the betrayal that reshaped the Roman world, and the fateful prophecy that warned him of his demise.

Join us as we celebrate history, rebellion, and, of course, the power of a glorious beard.
