The Frozen Charlotte tour freezes Los Angeles! With your humble co-host on hand, Jack White lit up the Hollywood Palladium on Monday September 28th, 2026 — and we’re here to unpack it all! From a surprise opener, to multiple guest appearances, this was a show for the record books, and the Third Men Podcast bore witness to it all and lived to tell the tale. So walk into the structure, do yourself a favor, and listen to an all-new episode with blessings from your brothers!

New Jack White music has dropped, and the Third Men Podcast is back with a brand new episode to cover it all! Alongside original “third man” guest Mike Jozaitis, your humble co-hosts take to the air once more to talk G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs, and Derecho Demonico, the brand new single just released! Plus, a day after reaction to Jack White’s epic SNL appearance promoting the single opposite his brother from another color Jack Black (or Jack Silver, as they apparently prefer). So sit back, enjoy, write a dime store novel, write yourself a check, and let us know what you think of the new music!​

It’s our desire! The Third Men Podcast is proud to welcome back to the show Mr. Matthew Jacobson – TMR allum and current show poster artist for the Jack White No Name tour (and beyond) – to talk dream Third Man projects! Matthew and your humble co-hosts have selected 3 wishlist releases each that we hope to manifest into reality: recording projects, live events, label releases and more! In this lively discussion we’ll dare to ask the tough questions: is a new Dead Weather album warranted? What is the general public’s stomach for physical visual media? Will humankind ever reconcile the digits of pi? All this and more on our first all-new episode of 2026!

The White Stripes have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — and the Third Men Podcast is there on the ground floor! Well, to be more specific…our Third Correspondent, Frank Anselmo is there on the ground floor. Longtime listeners will remember Frank from his spotlight episode a little ways back, and Frank’s stories are always incredible. Now, to add to his list (which includes being present for the Hardest Button to Button music video shoot, being backstage with Jack and more) Frank can add being in attendance, and indeed rubbing shoulders with Jack White during the rock hall induction of the White Stripes this past month. You’ll hear exclusive audio from the event, killer stories and more in this all-new episode!

50 on the 50! The Third Men Podcast is here to celebrate (belatedly!) 50 years of Jack White by picking our top 50 favorite iterations of the man whose music we love so much. If these were action figures, they’d be a whole set. In fact, they’d be a whole set of JACK-TION FIGURES. And if you don’t like that pun? I’m afraid I can’t help you, because it is unabashedly the premise of our new episode this week. Plus, your humble co-host’s trip to Third Man Records in Nashville Tennessee is chronicled for the first time on the show! With that, we hope you enjoy this countdown of our favorites of the many sides to Jack White’s personality, and happy birthday (belatedly!) to the Third Man himself!
