It's a delirious episode of the show as we record this late on a Monday and just squeeze it in for your Tuesday morning commute, and what a week it was! We have a new 4-day champion in Will Wallace who is like the William Wallace from Braveheart, only 1000 times more chill. We are chill too as a contestant has an interesting call sign, we both reveal some decently poor singing impressions, and Jeopardy! fans are very upset that Dave Matthews was referred to as a pop star. Plus, we dive deep on one of the worst songs of all-time. It wasn't one of the ones we sung. But those were very bad too. SOURCE: Rolling Stone: "Flashback: Band Aid Raises Millions With 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'" by Jordan Runtagh. Special thanks as always to the J-Archive and The Jeopardy! Fan. This episode was produced by Producer Dan. Music by Nate Heller. Art by Max Wittert.
A very special thanks to Jordan Runtagh for his blessing on this replay! (Behind the Scenes note: Jordan and I both had really long days before this interview, so there's quite a bit of laughter in our chat. Wait-you were expecting sobbing? You were?) So, if you love your pop culture deep dives, subscribe to "Too Much Information" for your dose of Jordan and Alex, and follow them on Twitter, (@JordanRuntagh; @alex_heigl) once Jordan finds his password.... Anyway, here are the show notes for Gilligan's Island: Everything You Didn't Know.".... (and oddly enough, this show IS a 3-hour tour!) ________________________________________________ Your professors of pop culture embark on a three hour tour of trivia about this beloved monolith of mid-century sitcom kitsch. It's a ride as wild as the S.S. Minnow's doomed voyage as Jordan and Heigl somehow manage to link CIA mind control experiments, the JFK assassination, numerous tragic Hollywood deaths to talk of the seven castaways. You'll learn all about the hilarious feud among the cast, the ridiculously petty secret meaning behind the boat's name, all the ways Mary Anne was a real-life angel, and a story about the Skipper's final days that is guaranteed to make you sob. In addition to the stranger-than-fiction tales of naive good samaritans who tried to launch their own campaign to rescue Gilligan and Co., you'll also hear all about the truly insane made-for-TV reunions projects that somehow encompassed the Harlem Globetrotters, a nuclear apocalypse and murder. You're sure to get a smile from seven stranded castaways — and two crazy podcast hosts — here on Gilligan's Isle! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode of Sound Up! hosts Mark Goodman and Alan Light celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Beatles coming to America and discuss what The Beatles mean today. Joining the discussion is our Sound Up! podcast in-studio audience and two special guests, iHeartRadio podcast executive and journalist Jordan Runtagh and Peloton instructor and curator of several Beatles workouts, Denis Morton. We cover the latest music news including the all-star benefit song put together by Mark Knopfler and pay tribute to country music legend Toby Keith and outlaw country star Mojo Nixon. Since this is our weekly Sound Up! Sound Off episode, we also hear audio messages from listeners commenting on our recent Grammy episode, get their take on The Beatles, and read social comments from fans discussing their oldest concert ticket stubs.

(Please note: No cigar-chomping studio executives were harmed during the recording of this episode) Although we don't use video to broadcast the show, you could see how much Jordan loves his job, and doing his podcast, along with the other projects he's involved with. (Okay, maybe you couldn't see it, but play along, will ya?) But, you CAN tell "TMI" is a labor of love for both him and co-host Alex Heigl, and when the hosts are having so much fun, you will,too. And that's why you should subscribe, like I do. You won't regret it. Thanks for coming on the show, Jordan!

The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
Its Saturday Night! And nothing says "hip" and/or "edgy" in 1977 more than Ruth Gordon. And, if that wasn't enough, she brought her good friend Chuck Berry with her (all the way from the 1950s!). Ageism aside, this turns out to be a rather enjoyable episode with many familiar faces (including Mr. Bill & Mr. Mike) and even some new ones! To top things off, special guest Ricky Jay is in the studio to entertain everyone with some great slight of hand work.If we didn't have enough to say about this episode we brought in Jordan Runtagh from the amazing podcast "Too Much Information" to help give us all...well, too much information. We dive deep on Ruth, Chuck, and even get a few Beatles references (he couldn't help himself).Subscribe today! And follow us on social media on X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.
So far over the course of this series, we've examined the madness and socio-political movements that made the Rolling Stones' 1972 North American tour a singular moment in pop culture. But very little attention has been paid to the music — especially the album that the Stones were on the road to promote: their moody double disc epic 'Exile on Main St.' To remedy this, host Jordan Runtagh and executive producer/co-composer Noel Brown sit down with legendary Georgia-based record maker David Barbe, a veteran of the band Sugar (with Hüsker Dü's Bob Mould) and the producer of albums from the likes of Drive-By Truckers and Son Volt. Together they throw down about all things Stones and discuss why the sound and style of 'Exile' continues to endure. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the summer of 1972, the Rolling Stones swept across an America still smoldering from the tumult of the ‘60s, bringing their gritty masterpiece Exile on Main St. to the masses. Rolling Stone magazine journalist Robert Greenfield was along for the ride, writing the seminal rock book STP (Stones Touring Party) — culled from weeks on the road and more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their entourage. Now, for the first time, Greenfield and fellow STP vet Gary Stromberg share that tape archive, allowing listeners to sit in on intimate chats with the Stones in their prime. Written and hosted by Jordan Runtagh, with original music by Noel Brown and Mykal Alder June, Stones Touring Party is an all-access pass to the sights, sounds, riots, bombings, drug busts, death threats and other assorted mayhem from this pivotal moment in American history. Listen to Stones Touring Party on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-stones-touring-party-119251654/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Play That Rock n' Roll's 50th (!!) episode, we are joined by Jordan Runtagh from iHeartMedia to discuss the incredible life and career of Ronnie Spector. We cover her early days with the fabulous Ronettes, her marriage to (and subsequent escape from) Phil Spector, the struggles she faced as a solo artist, her big '80s comeback with Eddie Money, and how she would finally be recognized properly as the "Queen of Rock and Roll" in later years. Jordan joins the pod to share his insight on Ronnie's discography and to talks about his experience of interviewing her in person.
