Happy holidays and welcome to our season finale! This week, we're scratching The Itch to welcome our first repeat guest: Eva Marie of Eva Under Fire! With another tour under her belt, a fresh new single, an album on the way, and a holiday season to celebrate, Eva is ready to roll for a great discussion that includes road adventures, the new generation of women in rock, and ... an obnoxious fast food menu? Check it out, listen to and follow Eva Under Fire, and we'll see you in January for The Itch Awards and our Top 20 Albums of 2021!

And hey, while you're wallowing in that mild post-holiday funk, cheer yourself up by following our New Rock Roundup playlist and connecting with us!

It's time for the second annual Itch 12 Pods of Christmas, wherein we shout out some of our favorite podcast friends and direct you, the listener, to a pair of episodes from across our shows to keep you entertained through the holiday season. We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. One of the most exciting shows we've encountered is She Will Rock You. Leah and Bethanne do a fun and fascinating job of exploring the music industry, emerging artists, and particularly the women involved within. You can find She Will Rock You on the Twitters @shewillrockupod.

We recommend listening to their recent concert experiences seeing Des Rocs and In This Moment, respectively, and pairing that with our episode discussing new albums from Des Rocs and Ded, which has a connection to In This Moment that causes us to go off the rails in this recording.

And hey, when you're done with all of that, follow our New Rock Roundup playlist and then connect with us!

It's time for the second annual Itch 12 Pods of Christmas, wherein we shout out some of our favorite podcast friends and direct you, the listener, to a pair of episodes from across our shows to keep you entertained through the holiday season. We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. A guy who's always looking to help people live healthier mental lives is Tim McCarthy and his podcast 20TIMinutes. Every week he spends 20 minutes breaking mental health stigma by cracking smiles. He also does videos, and has a pretty dope setup we recommend checking out. You can find Tim and 20TIMinutes on the Twitters @20TIMinutes.

We recommend listening to his recent one-year anniversary episode (congratulations, Tim!) and pairing it with our episode interviewing Eva Marie of Eva Under Fire, who is a licensed therapist who also works out her own struggles through song.

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. Someone who's gone above and beyond in said support is Reg Seeton of the Starting Overdrive podcast. After a life-changing event of his own, Reg started his show to let other people tell their own tales of starting over. You can find Reg and Starting Overdrive on the Twitters @StartingOverPod.

We recommend listening to episode 15, in which Reg tells his own story of starting over. And then we recommend checking out our recent interview with Mike Protich of The Violent, who started over by forming a new band from the ashes of an established one.

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. Today's shout out is to the first person of that community that we've met in person: Jay Scott and The Hook Rocks! Jay is a workhorse who puts out multiple episodes of The Hook each week featuring interviews with up-and-coming artists, reviews of new albums, and discussions about the rock world. You can find Jay and The Hook on the Twitters @TheHookRocks.

We recommend listening to our recent appearance on The Hook, where Jay invited us to discuss what the future of rock looks like going into 2022. And for a connection, check out our interview with Daisy Dead of The Dead Deads... and then all of Jay's Dead Deads interviews and other content!

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. A show that holds a special place for The Itch is the first podcast to ever interview US: The Struggling Artist Podcast. Trev Allen is a music lover and mental health advocate who found a great way to do both as he talks to fellow creators and musicians about the struggles of making it in music and life. You can find The Struggling Artist on the Twitters @podcastTSA.

We recommend listening to our appearances on each other's shows! Trev was kind enough to include us among his many interviews, and we returned the favor by bringing him on to fill us in on two topics we rarely touch on: regional scenes and punk rock!

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. One of our favorites is our multiverse alt versions: Podioslave! These three fellas have a similar style and story to our own, and love to discuss the nitty gritty elements of the music world. You can find Podioslave on the Twitters @Podioslave.

We recommend listening to our crossovers! FIrst, check our our appearance on their episode The Wheel of Nu Metal Returns. Then, check out their appearance on our discussion of 20 years of Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed American".

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. And some of the most interesting music conversations in that community come from the Infectious Groove Podcast. Russ, Kyle, and Michelle bring different takes (and generations) to the table as they discuss everything from industry news to music history to their current favorite Jammie Jams. You can find the Infectious Groove on the Twitters @Infectious_Pod.

We recommend listening to their pair of episodes on 1991, which is regarded as one of the greatest years in modern music. Follow it up by doing a deeper dive with Russ and us into the 44 days of 1991 that changed rock as we know it!

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. And one of the staunchest supporters we've encountered is Playlist Wars. These guys are a blast to interact with (and guest on), and they have a fun and unique podcast concept that will keep you both entertained and educated. Plus, unlike The Itch, you can listen with your kids without the risk of potty words! You can find Playlist Wars on the Twitters @PlaylistWars.

We recommend listening to ... well, all of our appearances on the show! Aaron joined for Weezer and 90s Rock One-Hit Wonders, and KC joined for 80s Wrestling Theme Songs! And then check out Brian's guest spot on OUR Weezer episode!

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. A show/site/YouTube channel/Twitch stream we were happy to discover early on is Rocked. Not only is it hosted by a fellow St. Louisian, but he (almost) single-handedly churns out quality rock content on multiple platforms on the regular. You can find them on the Twitters @RockedNet.

We recommend listening to "The Podcast That Rocked" episode"Limp Bizkit Doesn't Completely Suck?", and following that up with our "Dad Vibes" episode, where we discuss how Limp Bizkit indeed doesn't completely suck.
