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 show that blows our minds with their knowledge, insight, and interview gets is The Great Song Podcast, where Rob and JP discuss... great songs. You can find them on the Twitters @GreatSongsPod.

We recommend listening to their episode on Tonic's "If You Could Only See" (including an interview with Tonic's Emerson Hart!), and following that up with our EP Episode, where we discuss another 90s alternative band: Eve 6.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to talk about Tom Morello! The man's been busy this year, releasing two full albums, an EP, making some guest appearances, and apparently working with 95% of all musicians in existence. So join us for a fun discussion of The Catastrophists EP (a collaboration with The Bloody Beetroots), The Atlas Underground Fire (a collaboration with more musicians), and The Atlas Underground Flood (a collaboration with all the rest). Plus... is another generation of Morello ready to take the throne? And can Dan let a longstanding beef rest by turning his anger in a different direction? Listen to find out in our penultimate episode of 2021!

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community. One show that has given us the ol' signal boost almost from day one of our Twitter count's existence is The Paul & Griff Show, wherein two lifelong friends have a grand time talking about films. You can find Paul & Griff on the Twitters @paulngriffshow.

We recommend listening to their episode on the Arnold classic(?) End of Days.

And follow that up with our episode Movies That Rock, where we discuss the soundtrack of that same film.

Also, huge shout out and thank you to our friend Kaz, host of The Heavy Rock Show on East London Radio. Kaz has also been a longtime advocate for our show, music trading partner, and fellow radio host, and we greatly value her friendship.

We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community and the opportunities we've had to guest on other shows, as well as to have other hosts as guests on ours. One such show is Beer'd Al, wherein Lauren and John Carey talk about two of the greatest things in the world: beer and Weird Al. You can find the Beer'd Al Podcast at: beerdalpodcast.com and on the Twitters @beerdalpodcast.

We recommend listening to The Itch's guest appearance, in which we discussed Alapalooza and broke a record that didn't even need to exist.

And follow that up with our episode, Songs About Your Mom, which we're pretty sure would make Lauren laugh.

We had so much fun with our first Real-Time Reaction (to Korn's "Start The Healing") that we decided to do it again! Three Days Grace just dropped "So Called Life", the first single from their upcoming album Explosions, and The Itch is here for it! Enjoy. Video still not included, but feel free to synch it up on your own. You'll know when.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to recommend some recent releases with a Fall Rock Roundup! Join us as we each recommend a new album from an artist that represents our own favorite slice of The Itch's musical pie: KC's blues rock swagger with Blacktop Mojo's self-titled, Dan's hard rock angst with Ded's "School of Thought", and Aaron's high-energy genre hopping with Des Roc's "A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place". And stay tuned to the end, when the guys go fully off the rails with ideas for how to use your Itch merchandise.

Special shout outs to The Hook Rocks, She Will Rock You, Playlist Wars, Podioslave, Trawl, and Heidi Ann (among others) for selling us even more on the greatness of these bands. We 'preciate y'all!

This week, we're scratching The Itch to talk about a festival we didn't (but also did) see! Welcome to Rockville took place a few weeks back in Daytona, Florida. Despite The Itch's initial plans to be in attendance falling through, we were still able to watch dozens of bands throughout the weekend. And now we're here to tell you all about it. If you're looking for new bands or concerts to hit up, this episode is a one-stop recommendation shop. Enjoy!

The Itch is giving you the business! While we put the finishing touches on our new episode (and allow you time to digest your Leftovers II), we're releasing the Business Time segment from this week's radio show on 89.1 The Wood, KCLC-FM. Join us to hear about new rock releases and tours that are worth being on your radar for the holidays. Excuse Aaron's cough.

Speaking of the holidays, Itch shirts, mugs, masks and more are available at itchrocks.com for the rock music lover in your life (and that includes yourself, no judgment here). All profits go towards the cost of running the podcast and radio show free of charge, and if you send us a picture of yourself with our gear, we'll totally share it and shout you out on a future episode. Plus, you'll look dope.

If you still need more rock in your life (and we all do), follow our New Rock Roundup playlist and then connect with us!

Happy holidays! We know that today some of y'all will still be knocked out and/or dining on the remnants of yesterday's feast, and other psychos amongst you will be running around doing work on your Christmas shopping. Either way, what you'll need is a smattering of assorted clips, convos, and bloopers from various Itch recordings to keep your ears as satisfied as your stomachs. To that end, we bestow upon you, without intro, context, or further adieu, The Itch's Thanksgiving tradition: Leftovers II. Enjoy!

We're giving thanks to every artist, podcaster, and ostensible subject matter expert that recorded with us and/or invited us to record with them this year. Rich Lamberty, Trev Allen, Blake Bedsaul, Matty Madiro, Chill Pill Liz, Robb Rivera, Jason Zeilstra, Dan Murphy, Brian Colburn, Podioslave, Daisy Dead, Russ, Mike Protich, Eva Marie, Lauren Carey, and Jay Scott... we're grateful for you all.

A couple weeks back, Aaron chose violence by suggesting that the Fall Out Boy/John Mayer cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was better than the new one by From Ashes to New. But did the people agree or disagree? Listen to find out if he can pick up a rare W in the court of public opinion!
