A concept album recap podcast, breaking down stories of rock operas and musical tales song by song and creating a new piece to add to it!
As part of the Scavengers Network Indie Podcast Showcase, we had a live show with the inemitable Britt Spruill as we talked about the classic Devil Went Down to Georgia. What does "hell's broke loose" really mean? Britt throws Dan for a loop with her own theory.
CW for this episode; child abuse, child molestation, sexual assault In this episode, we have Mikey and Grace (formerly of Amateur Animal Psychic) on to discuss the songs that detail the worst of Tommy's journey; Do You Think It's Alright and Fiddle About. Due to the graphic nature of Fiddle About's lyrics, we do not read the lyrics for this one. We do discuss the best ways to handle situations you may find yourself, as well as on a lighter note, Tracy teaches us all the best way to eat ice cream. National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673
Hey everyone! today's episode deals with some fairly sensitive material, including drug use, non-consensual sexual interaction, and a racial slur against the Romani people, the latter of which has been bleeped out in our reading of the lyrics. In today's episode, Jenn Bianchi (@newsomeyall) joins us to talk about the newest step in Tommy's family's approach to trying to "fix" him; a drug-fueled encounter with a sex worker who takes him on an absolutely horrifying journey. Sorry for the rough audio on this one, we pushed through some technical difficulties so it's not the crispest it could be.

CW: This song and episode discusses lots of trauma and violence; it entails a bully describing assaulting a child in several different ways including utilizing fire, glass, sharp objects, and drowning. In today's episode, see if you can hear the point where Daniel's mind is blown (it's early on). Kevin Hendrix (@kevin_hendricks) joins us for a fun episode on a not-so-fun song. We talk about chopsticks, shopping montages, and the best and worst Kevins. Kevin wrote our theme song! Follow us on twitter at @conceptpodcast or send us an email at conpodceptcast@.com!
