    Ivy Insights

    The Bax & O'Brien Podcast is a must-listen for any long-time fan of the show or those just discovering the comedic genius of Mike Baxendale and John O'Brien. With over 20 years of experience in the radio industry, it's no wonder these guys have a loyal fanbase that spans across the country. The addition of Steve Nagel to the trio only adds to the dynamic and makes for hilarious banter and insightful conversations.

    One of the best aspects of The Bax & O'Brien Podcast is their ability to keep things fresh and entertaining. They don't shy away from controversial topics or humor that may offend some, which sets them apart from many other podcasts. It's refreshing to see hosts who are unafraid to speak their minds and offer a unique perspective on current events and pop culture.

    Another standout aspect of this podcast is their deep dive into music. Bax's musical podcasts are a treat for fans who appreciate classic rock but also want to discover new sounds. The interviews with musicians from bands like The Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Metallica, and more provide an inside look at iconic artists and their music. It's a great way to gain a fresh perspective on well-known bands while also introducing listeners to lesser-known gems.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one could argue that it may not be suitable for everyone. As mentioned before, their humor can be offensive to some listeners, so it's important for potential listeners to understand that going in. Additionally, some episodes may delve into topics that not all listeners find interesting or relevant.

    In conclusion, The Bax & O'Brien Podcast is a fantastic listen for anyone who enjoys good comedy and wants a fresh take on current events and music. With their witty banter, insightful interviews, and willingness to tackle controversial subjects head-on, Bax, O'Brien, and Nagel create an engaging show that keeps fans coming back for more.

    Baxie welcomes back Mark Burgess from The Chameleons! The Chameleons have just released their 2nd EP over the last ten months (“Where Are You” and Tomorrow Remember Yesterday”). These two new releases represent their first batch of new music since 2001. A new full-length album is due later this year. The Chameleons are one of the great yet most overlooked bands of all time. If you know The Chameleons, then you know what I'm talking about out. If you don't know them—you need to. They were a band that could have (and should have) been in the same conversation with the likes of The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Cure. Instead, they chose a different path. You can hear more about that in my interview with Mark Burgess from May of 2024. This time we talk about reforming the band, recording new music, and the power of their live performances over the years. The Chameleons are coming to Big Night Live in Boston on April 30th. Just a magnificent band. And I don't throw that word around lightly. Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on all Rock102 digital platforms! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
