Podcasts about music talk

Every fourth Sunday, Big Blend Radio's "Music Talks" series brings together host/producer Lisa D. Smith and co-host Joey Stuckey — the award-winning musician, producer, and Macon's own "Music Ambassador." This time, the mic turns toward Joey's own milestone year. Joey opens up about "Alive Day" — the anniversary of surviving a childhood brain tumor doctors once called inoperable — and the moment his parents reframed it forever: "September 29th is not the day you almost died. It is the day you lived." What began as a quiet family tradition has grown into a free, all-ages concert in downtown Macon, now in its ninth year. This year's celebration doubles as the grand reopening of Joey's Shadow Sound Studio, newly outfitted with an SSL Origin Evo console, with longtime friend and Wet Willie vocalist Jimmy Hall joining him for a day of recording, a special in-studio taping of Joey's own podcast Stuck on Sound, and a free hour-long concert. It's all part of marking 30 years in the music business — and Joey's got a new record taking shape too, tracked in part at the historic Les Paul Recording Studio in Hollywood. We'll dig into the album itself next month.

It's National Park Week! Every fourth Sunday, Joey Stuckey joins Lisa Smith on Big Blend Radio's Music Talks — and this time they're diving into the music inspired by America's national parks and public lands. Recorded right at the start of National Park Week (August 22–30, 2026), the conversation marks the National Park Service's 110th birthday and the 250th anniversary of American independence. Joey and Lisa dig into seven songs, starting with Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and moving through Doreen Taylor, John Denver, longtime Big Blend guest Wally Lawder, Joey's own "Oceanside," Ed Tree's "Chaco," and closing with Yusuf/Cat Stevens.  Along the way they talk studio gear, accessibility in the parks, bald eagles and the Endangered Species Act, the Gila Cliff Dwellings, and Hawaii memories — but they also get real about what's currently threatening these places: renewed oil, gas, and mineral leasing pressure around Chaco Canyon, a mining threat facing one of the largest bald eagle gatherings in the world near Haines, Alaska, and the border wall construction fight at Big Bend National Park.

Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick continue the Fan Expo conversation, including how Mel Gibson managed to make about $45,000 in just three hours by basically standing still. They also get into the recent illegal raves at the Congress Theater and revisit Marathon Man to ask an important question: Why the hell didn’t Dustin Hoffman have locks on his doors? [Ep 483]

You Down With YPP?Episode Description:I break down YouTube's latest changes to its Partner Program, including doubled watch-hour requirements and higher Shorts monetization thresholds ahead of the February 2027 deadline. I also bring in YouTube expert Adam Ivey's take on why the real story isn't necessarily the new criteria, and I share my own channel's numbers so you can set realistic expectations for your own YouTube journey.Then the AI kids stop by for story time as I take a look at Spotify's decade-long history of making big podcasting promises—and quietly failing to deliver on them.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm continuing my Signature Songs series with Pat Benatar, one of the defining rock voices of the late '70s and early '80s.Benatar and Neil Giraldo built a catalog full of big guitars, big hooks, and unmistakable vocals, with songs like “Heartbreaker,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Fire and Ice,” “Shadows of the Night,” “Love Is a Battlefield,” “We Belong,” “Invincible,” and “All Fired Up.”But which one is her signature song? In this episode, I break down Benatar's career, her biggest hits, my own personal Top 5, and the four songs I think have the strongest case before making my final pick for Pat Benatar's signature song.It's all happening this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast.And make sure to check out the Podcast Playlist, on:Apple MusicSpotify===========================Connect with us on social media!YouTubeInstagram TikTok Facebook

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm continuing my Signature Songs series with the Grateful Dead!The Dead had an incredible career without any real commercial album or single sales. They were never really a traditional hit-single band. They were a live band, a touring band, a tape-trading band, and a band whose fans were heavily invested in their music. But their signature song isn't necessarily their best song, or even their fans' favorite song — it's the song most associated with them by the general population of music fans.And yet, without chart hits, they still produced some of the most influential music of the rock-n-roll era, and so I'm looking at the major contenders, and I'll make the case for the one song that became the Grateful Dead's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!And then I want to hear from you - did I get it right?

But their signature song isn't necessarily their best song, or even their biggest hit — it's the song most tied to their public image.So I'm looking at the major contenders, and I'll make the case for the one song that became Earth, Wind & Fire's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!And then I want to hear from you - did I get it right?

That conversation leads to a deep dive into some of Short's wildest work, including the cult favorite Clifford. They also chat about Top Gun, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and a handful of other topics that somehow all connect by the end. Trust us, it makes sense when you hear it. [Ep 464]

Send us Fan MailJust in time for Mother's Day, I'm celebrating my favorite rock and roll songs about Mothers! I'll be honest — this list was harder to build than I expected. Rock has plenty of songs that use the word “mama,” but not nearly as many that are actually about mothers. Some are loving tributes. Some are complicated memories. Some are dark psychological portraits. And a few are just flat-out fun rock-n-roll songs with a mother somewhere near the center of the story.Whether the song is about wisdom, loss, rebellion, regret, sacrifice, or the voice of a mother that stays with you long after childhood, these are the rock songs that made my Mother's Day playlist, and it's all right here, this week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!You can also check out the Podcast Playlist, either on:Apple MusicSpotify===========================Connect with us on social media!YouTubeInstagram TikTok Facebook

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast, I'm tackling a real challenge in my Signature Song series: what is The Rolling Stones' signature song?With a catalog this deep, this is not a simple call. The Stones have produced swaggering riffs, generation-defining singles, stadium anthems, and songs that have become part of the culture itself. So which one stands above the rest as the track most commonly associated with the band by the general public?In this episode, I break down the leading contenders, look at what makes a true signature song to begin with, and make the case for the one Stones classic that I believe ultimately wins the title.If you love rock history, big songs, and a good music argument, this one's for you.Podcast Playlist:Apple MusicSpotify===========================Connect with us on social media!YouTubeInstagram TikTok Facebook

Nick welcomes Forbes music journalist Jim Ryan back to the show to talk about a run of recent interviews he's done with Ratboys, John Oates, Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford from Squeeze, and Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys. They also talk about some recent shows Jim has seen, including Toto in Milwaukee, Margo Price at Metro, and John Oates at the Genesee Theatre. Along the way they listen to a clip of David Lee Roth's isolated vocals from a recent concert, which turns into a bit of a horror show.

The competition gets loud, ridiculous, and very funny, with a detour into the unforgettable Gary Coleman movie On the Right Track. It's music talk, trivia chaos, and plenty of laughs. [Ep 438]

Send a textThis week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast, I'm joined by Steven Gonza—singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter for Connecticut hard rock band Ink—to discuss Broken Wings, a 22-song solo album made up of material that never fit his band's sound.These songs come from a very different place—more intimate, more melodic, and often written with a woman's voice and piano in mind. We talk about Steve's songwriting process, the difference between writing for Ink and writing for himself, and how this long-shelved material finally became a finished album.It's a thoughtful conversation about creativity, instinct, and the songs that wait years to find their proper form.Check out the Broken Wings album on YouTube.===========================Connect with us on social media!YouTubeInstagram TikTok Facebook
