GUEST OVERVIEW: Dream Machine is the creation of ex-Warm Soda band leader Matthew Melton, and his wife Doris Melton.

Influenced by classic rock like Heart, Deep Purple, and Iron Butterfly, the group features Melton on guitar, bass and vocals, his wife Doris on organ, synth, and vocals, and Billy Odyssey on drums. After being unfairly cancelled by their former record label, Dream Machine went rogue, moving forward by releasing on Matthew Melton's own Fuzz City Records, and establishing a headquarters on their YouTube Channel where they document their analog recording process and discuss various topics.

We triple the story power in our show inspired by the classic TV game show title “To Tell the Truth.” As part of our season “BE in the Game” each story in this show has 3 storytellers, but the story only belongs to one of them- two are impostors! In today's episode we explore water resources in South Africa and scrape Ireland off our shoes. Can you guess whose story it is and the storyteller who is actually telling the truth? Featuring Nicholas Warden, Matthew Melton, Patti O'Hara, and Jessica Holmes.

Late-Night goes DOWN THE RABBiT HOLE during our summer season featuring stories on themes inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Positively shameless, this is the adults-only black sheep of the storytelling family. Our story slammers drawn from the Mad Hatter's hat are in a free fall with true stories. Slammers: Mike Stanton, Steve Smith, Matthew Melton, and Josh Rychert.

"Number nine, number nine, number nine…" Bobby attempts to add some much-needed class to spring break by kicking off the show with a wine tasting. But when that wine comes in a half-liter bottle with a picture of a donkey on it, Snacks is skeptical and The Colonel threatens to go full wino.   And since 9 is the magic number this time around, nine super-solid records get discussed and reviewed: 1) new Radioactivity 7" on Secret Mission 2 & 3) Essential Texas punk reissue 7"s by Bobby Soxx and The Next, both from Cheap Rewards. 4) wand-wielding-but-skateboard-friendly British 80s metal reissue by Satan. Roll for damage! 5) latest Steve Adamyk Band LP "Dial Tone" (produced by Matthew Melton) 6) sophomore album and first U.S. release from Vancouver hellraisers Needles//Pins 7) Neil Merryweather "Space Rangers" awesome 70s concept LP 8) Tuff Darts! LP, late 70s gold-grill power-pop punk rock, and 9) early 80s Japanese rock LP by Sheena & The Rockets   Also: Bobby and Snacks saw Paul Collins. Snacks and The Colonel saw Radioactivity and Bad Sports. Shout-outs to Spring Breakers across the nation and around the world! And will this questionable wine tasting get in the way of the usual reviews of brews?
