Podcasts about bands

I’m back for a special end-of-the-year episode! Watch/listen for a handful of memorable highlights from 2025, including two especially wonderful musical performances. As I explain early in this episode, this is in no way meant to be considered a “best of.” With over 80 episodes recorded this year, it would be impossible to pull something like that together (and incredibly unfair to my guests). Consider this an “amuse-bouche” for the podcast; a hint of what made it so much fun to host this year and a promise of more to come in 2026. Thank you to all my guests (who are each individually named in this episode), and to you for supporting the podcast. I appreciate you. -James Car Con Carne is nominated for “Best Music Podcast” in the Chicago Reader’s “Best of Chicago” survey (https://chicagoreader.com/best-of-chicago-music-nightlife-2025/).

Comedian/radio personality Kevin Kellam returns to guest host and welcome special guests Sklar Brothers! Randy and Jason Sklar have been seen everywhere, including Curb Your Enthusiasm, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Playing House, Better Call Saul, Roast Battle III, Grey’s Anatomy, Entourage, and Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic.

Comedian/radio personality Kevin Kellam returns for another guest-hosting stint, and this time around he welcomes comedian Adam Burke. Kevin digs into Adam’s comedy career and the details of Adam's recently-released comedy special, “Unamerican,” recorded at the Den Theatre. There are also a few political tangents, and Kevin learns Amerigo Vespucci’s name for the first time (Ciao, Kevin!). Thanks to Kevin for again selflessly and capably taking the podcast reins. I’m beyond grateful. Thanks for supporting Car Con Carne, especially during this weird period where I’m off the grid.

A live-sung medley that actually left us breathless. That's how Lainey Wilson opened a CMA night that felt tighter, braver, and more fun than it's been in years—and yes, she backed it up with Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, and Female Vocalist. We talk about why her solo hosting worked, how she commanded the stage with eight outfit changes, and what her wins say about where country music is heading.We dig into performances that sparked debate, especially Chris Stapleton solo versus his duet with Miranda Lambert—great song, flawless execution, but does it fit either brand? The Red Clay Strays brought harmonies that surprised us with an Arctic Monkeys vibe, raising a bigger question about identity: when southern bands don't claim “country,” yet chart on country formats, is that healthy expansion or a nudge to fit the market? Along the way, we celebrate pros who hold the scene together—Paul Franklin's Musician of the Year nod and a heartfelt tribute to Vince Gill's mentorship and humility.Then we zoom out. Are labels signing too many TikTok artists who can't deliver live? How much do charts really matter now—less for artists, more for songwriters? We compare A-players in the studio to road bands on tour, why some artists are skipping the “Nashville session” model, and how remote recording and AI risk eroding that full-room magic where eight players breathe together. You'll also hear a lively news round-up, a chart countdown, candid listener mailbag on genre blending and economics, and a hilarious community game: ruin a band name by changing one letter.

As I continue to recover from a variety of appendix-related issues, I’m turning to capable and talented guest hosts to keep Car Con Carne running. This episode offers something a little bit different: It features the podcast-hosting debut of my daughter, Fiona VanOsdol. Joining her are her friends Faith Ferry and Fionn Riley, co-hosts of her college radio show called “The F Word” (their names all start with “F,” and they talk about topics that start with “F”). Their topic for this episode is “food,” which pretty much drives home the fact that Fiona’s my daughter. Among the food-related topics discussed: * Dining hall food, and its potential health risks.* Thanksgiving foods - tater tots on green bean casserole is a thing?* Fiona’s second attempt at constructing a Jell-O dessert.* Favorite restaurants - let’s have more buffets (or not)! Also, what’s the best thing to order from Panda Express? Chili’s?* Fiona shares a dark sandwich moment from our shared history (she calls it “James lore”). Thanks for supporting Car Con Carne, especially during this weird period where I’m off the grid. Thank you for listening and watching - I had an especially fun time handing the show over to Fiona. ## Car Con Carne is sponsored by Easy Automation: If you’re looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space, Easy Automation delivers custom automation solutions that are tailored to your lifestyle.

A special bonus episode to share my interview with Cliff Norris and David Aurilio to learn about the histories of the Atlanta Freedom Bands, a nonprofit community music organization made up of LGBTQ+ musicians and allies that includes a full concert band, marching band, jazz ensemble, and several small groups, and Voices of Note, the nonprofit organization that oversees Atlanta's LGBTQ+ choral groups, including the Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus and the Atlanta Women's Chorus. We covered the history of how these groups formed in Atlanta, why they were needed and how they fared through the AIDS crisis.

From Shakespeare's 'band of brothers' speech to its appearances in numerous films, Agincourt rightfully has a place among a handful of conflicts whose names are immediately recognized around the world. The Battle of Agincourt, fought in 1415, is famous for the decisive role of the English and Welsh longbowmen, who—despite being significantly outnumbered and exhausted—decimated the heavily armored French nobility with volleys of arrows. This unlikely victory was profoundly important because it not only paved the way for King Henry V to be named heir to the French throne via the Treaty of Troyes, but it also demonstrated the waning dominance of the medieval knight in warfare.Today’s guest is Michael Livingston, author of “Agincourt: Battle of the Scarred King.” We go back to the original sources, including the French battle plan that still survives today, to give a new interpretation, one that challenges the traditional site of the battlefield itself. The English victory at Agincourt on October 25, 1415, was a result of strategic brilliance, terrain advantage, and the devastating effectiveness of the longbow, combined with French tactical errors. Henry V’s smaller army, roughly 6,000-9,000 men (mostly longbowmen), faced a French force of 12,000-36,000, including heavily armored knights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GC13 and David discuss The Dinner and Battle of the Bands from Amphibia. Well this is it, our last moment of episodic levity before the plot has to kick back in. For two glorious episodes we get to see Sasha and Grime defending themselves, excusing their previous actions because they only tried to murder everyone once. And it was glorious. Now it’s just time to hope that Sasha does the right thing. You probably already know whether she does or not, but it would be a waste of a fantastic guitar solo if she doesn’t, right?

Episode 348 features Michael Torres of the Beers With Bands Podcast. This is technically part 2 of a collaborative episode I did on his show as well. Feel free to check out part 1 if you'd like to hear the entirety of the conversation. The Beers With Bands Podcast started out focusing on the Twin Cities/Minneapolis scene but has since branched out to covering bands nationally and internationally. Michael's show is very similar to mine in concept, and we both share a love of beer, so it was an extremely fun conversation. We talked in depth about podcasting and all of our favorite things about it. If you enjoy Michael's style, you can find him on any of the Beers With Bands socials. And if you're in a band, his email is easily available. Thanks for listening and supporting local musicians!

Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.This week, Ricardo and Trish welcome two standout guests: Kenai Central High School Band Director Christian Stefanos (@akbanddirector) — whose band traveled from Alaska to BOA Grand Nationals — and TikTok creator & performer Taylor Greatbatch (@greatbatchofcookies).Christian breaks down what it took to build a marching band from scratch, fundraise across a state the size of a continent, and take a small-town Alaska program onto the national stage in Indianapolis. Taylor shares what it's like teaching in one of Kentucky's lowest-income districts, why BOA experiences matter for rural kids, and how marching band shaped their entire career across theater and performance.Then the whole panel dives into a packed NEWS segment featuring:• BOA Grand Nationals Finals breakdown• DCI 2025 schedule• HBCU Band of the Year finalists• 2025 Dunkin' Thanksgiving Parade bands• 2025 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade lineupChristian takes on the 60-Second Tech Block with “How to Build a Marching Band From the Ground Up.” Taylor unleashes a viral-worthy rant about Broadway-level marching band shows (“I should not have to have a PhD to understand your marching band show, girl!”), and Ricardo drops a scorched-earth message to the Avon haters who have been trashing kids online after BOA Finals.The episode closes with a heartfelt Gush & Go, including:• The Spartans preparing for the Macy's Parade• Christian's students getting national love• Ricardo's district-wide arts expos inspiring the next generation• Kentucky band programs celebrating major milestonesHosts:Ricardo Robinson-Shinall (@ricardorrobinson)Trish O'Shea (@trishdish1002)Guests:Christian Stefanos — Kenai Central High School Band (@akbanddirector)Taylor Greatbatch (@greatbatchofcookies)Presented by: Guard Closet — gear, education & design for the marching arts Peak Group Travel (@peak.group.travel) — group travel done rightIf you're not listening to On A Water Break… what are you even doing?

Flashback to this popular topic from the last Thanksgiving! On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am talking all about the Turkey Neck! Thanks to Botox and fillers, our faces can now look younger than ever, but the neck is a different story. The neck is such an under-appreciated part of the body, and you need to look after it as much as you look after your face. Keep listening as I explain why the neck is so important, along with treatments you can receive to prevent it from sagging. 

As I continue to recover (and prepare for a couple of procedures and impending surgery) from appendix issues, I’ve excitedly turned Car Con Carne over to guest hosts. For this episode, Karen and Ivan from the Chicago bass duo Bellhead steal the keys to the car while I recover. Their guest is a post-punk legend, entrepreneur, author, and museum founder: the infamous Martin Atkins (Pigface, NIN, PiL). They recorded at Martin’s Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music (natch) and discuss (among other things): *Martin’s decision to perform Killing Joke’s “Extremities” in its entirety for the first time in 33 years at Reggies Rock Room on November 28th and 29th *The cast of characters invited to take on this endeavor *Martin’s early days with Killing Joke, including how some of the “Extremities” songs came to life. *The creation of PPIM and updates, and why you should come visit. Thanks for supporting Car Con Carne, especially during this weird period where I’m off the grid. Please support my guest hosts and their guests (go to Reggie’s or watch the live stream Thanksgiving weekend)!

Hello from James VanOsdol. As I type this, I’m recovering from appendix-related issues and preparing for an appendectomy just before Christmas. I’m counting it as a holiday gift. Bottom line: I’m not able to get out and record the podcast in-person or at my usual pace at the moment. When I first announced that I had been hospitalized (twice!) for a perforated appendix, I had a few kind friends offer to step in and guest host Car Con Carne in my expected absence. The first person to suggest the idea is friend and former radio colleague Kevin Kellam (Q101). I told him to go nuts and do whatever he wanted, and he killed it. For this episode, he interviews author/rock journalist Greg Prato, whose work has been seen in major publications like Rolling Stone and Classic Rock. He’s also the author of dozens (!) of books, including the focus of this conversation, Alternative for the Masses: The '90s Alt-Rock Revolution - An Oral History. Greg knows his stuff, and if you have any interest in the 90s (I mean, who doesn’t ?), you’re going to love this chat with Greg and Kevin. Thanks for supporting Car Con Carne, especially during this weird period where I’m off the grid. Please support the podcast’s guest hosts (listen to Kevin on Q101; buy Greg’s books)! Thank you for listening and watching. -JVO ## Car Con Carne is sponsored by Easy Automation: If you’re looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space, Easy Automation delivers custom automation solutions that are tailored to your lifestyle.

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Again email follow@bestcelticmusic ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC I got an email from Discmakers, my CD manufacturer, saying they were forced to raise their prices because of tariffs by our president. This is a tax on Americans. So if you love CDs, remember that the prices will go up. So please support those higher priced CDs. But there is an option for those who don't want to buy CDs and for those who want a better alternative for the environment. It's the Album Pin. Album Pins are lapel pins themed to a particular album. You get a digital download of the album. Then you can wear your album. All of my latest Album Pins are wood - burned and locally produced. This makes them better for the environment. And they are fun and fashionable. If you want to learn more about Album Pins, you can read more about them on my celtfather.Substack.com or just buy one at magerecords.com THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
