TWO PICK TEN: THE MONKEESrelease date 25 Jan 2023

Many many many years in and it's finally here - a Monkees episode of Two Pick Ten. And who better to join Craig than the host of the wonderful Mixology podcast - Mr. Frederick James French-Pounce. Coming from the same background of analyzing various versions of songs, Craig is baffled that there is someone who is into this silliness who is much younger than he is, and our guest brings a new twist to the Two Pick Ten series: picking which mix goes on the desert island compilation! A very pleasant conversation with a guest who is able to follow the rules of the island (we're looking at you, "Mister" Brian Jacobs).

Monkees fan and childhood friend Dawn Martin joins Craig Smith for a discussion about their Monkees memories, shared and separate, favorite and most embarrassing stories, and much much more.

In this episode, Megan and Craig reunite to discuss Mike and Micky's live album (and the farewell tour), Andrew's book coming soon, 7A reissuing Stranger Things Have Happened and Dolenz Sings Nesmith, some discussion and opinion about Friday Music's Missing Links RSD vinyl reissues, and what ended up being the best piece of Monkees vinyl we've gotten in a LONG time - the Run Out Groove 2LP version of the debut album.

When we last left Corey Nowlin, he was saying goodbye to Megan and Craig after spending five days on a boat with a bunch of rabid KISS fans. He has returned to The Pods & Sods Network to discuss a band that he has some history with and that he and Craig appreciated greatly during the pandemic - Phish. Lots to take in here, so read the book and surrender to the flow as Corey and Craig take you into the incredibly deep, wide and rewarding world of Phish.
