The Great Song Podcast

Alright alright alright! Your favorite Guitar Hero track brings our 5-episode EP run to a close--we're talking all things "Slow Ride" with Foghat's Roger Earl!

Thanks for hanging with us for a short run of episodes.

See you--soon?

Your friends, Rob and JP

25 years from the landmark release of her mainstream debut Kansas, Jennifer Knapp returns to the source to release Kansas 25, a re-envisioning of the CCM classic. And she's here to tell us all about the process, her holy grail guitar, and her amazing gas station snack food of choice. Episode 4 of our special 5-episode July 2024 run.

One of the great supergroups and classic rock acts of all time breeds one of our greatest side conversations of all time, and we talk Cream and legacy with Malcolm Bruce, son of Cream's legendary bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce. Episode 3 of our 5-episode limited 2024 EP.

Matt Sorum of Velvet Revolver, Guns 'n Roses, and a million other amazing bands joins us to talk about VR's signature hits, trying to outdo Slash, playing to the song, and his gas station snack food of choice.

This is episode 2 of 5 in our limited-run EP return.

The yellow and black attack kicks off our limited-return EP with a holy fury, and we've got frontman Michael Sweet to tell us all his favorite stories about Bible projectiles, angry protestors, and being a shy guy in a loud industry.

Enjoy it while it lasts--GSP is back for 5 episodes only!

Surprise!

This is it.

After 6+ years, 11 seasons and 275 episodes, the boys are putting the record back in the sleeve. And what better way to say farewell than do wholly dive into one of our longest-running references and in-jokes, Dio's absolutely epic and iconic "Holy Diver."

In this nearly two-hour series finale, we'll squeeze the delicious juice from Ronnie James Dio's signature hit, get into his time with Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and more.

We'll also dig back into our own history and do all the things one should do when closing up shop--we'll reminisce, hear from a few favorite friends (and a couple new surprises!), and present the Top Five songs we should have ended the show with.

What else can we say? Thanks for listening. It's been fun.

Share some memories and say goodbye on Facebook or Instagram.

It's the Summer of '99 all over again, and we're shredding your memories with the one and only Mark Tremonti! He's talking with us about his pinball obsession, his new Christmas project, why he abuses his nose live, and of course his favorite gas station snacks.

Enjoy!

Join us on socials for extended play fun.

One of the greatest rock songs of the 1990s, Everclear's "Santa Monica" gives us shivers of joy every time we hear it! And we've got frontman and songwriter Art Alexakis to chat with us about the song, his favorite rock album, his life of recovery, and much more.

Plus:

- Unfortunate last names

- The Art Alexakis "Yeah"

- And our usual shenanigans. Enjoy!

Your favorite new rock band is The Effect, and we can prove it! Fresh off a debut single and moments before a follow-up, we chat with Trev Lukather (yep, son of Toto's Steve) and Nic Collins (yep, son of Phil) about getting together on this next-gen collaboration. You'll hear about using live tracks responsibly, loving work that didn't necessarily end well, and what songs of their progenitors you should be more familiar with, including the Steve Lukather+Eddie Van Halen collaboration that got buried by a record label.
