This week, Matt speaks with Nicolo Majnoni, host of Shadow Kingdom, a gripping new investigative podcast from Crooked Media and Campside Media. The first season explores the mysterious June 1982 death of Roberto Calvi—known as “God's Banker”—and his ties to the Vatican, organized crime, and secret societies at the height of Italy's Cold War turmoil. They unpack Calvi's downfall, the shadowy institutions behind it, and what this story reveals about how power operates in the dark. They also discuss the Vatican's covert influence, how conspiracies blur into history, and what it means to tell stories when the truth remains elusive.

Zach goes it alone on this episode to interview session guitarist, 6-string storyteller, and prominent YouTuber and online guitar instructor Tim Pierce. As a player, Pierce's guitar has spent decades at the top of the charts by way of songs by Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Phil Collins, Madonna, Dave Matthews Band, Bob Dylan—whose recent Shadow Kingdom features the guitarist holding down the rhythm—and so many others.Pierce discusses his biggest influences and favorite guitar sounds, seeing ZZ Top in their early stages “at their finest”—“I was floored”—and tells how he learned how to play rhythm guitar “on the job.” He also shares advice for crafting excellent guitar parts.These days, Pierce says his session work is mostly for friends and family. Instead, he focuses on his popular YouTube channel, where he posts interviews, tips, and more. It's a passion for the guitarist, and he and Zach get deep into the nuts and bolts of his YouTube life—from how many thumbnails can he makes for each episode (a whole lot) to how he comes up with his ideas for videos.“I did one thing for decades,” Pierce says of his life as a guitarist for hire. “That I knew I could do … I just wanted to be a recording guitar player.” About 15 years ago, he says he reevaluated his goals and says he “discovered some people who were doing business online” who inspired him to give YouTube a go. “It just seemed like something, with all my limitations, that I could pull off.” After a decade doing full-time sessions and building his online presence, Pierce eventually switched to becoming a full-time YouTuber.Subscribe, like, and leave us a comment!Big thanks to Sweetwater for sponsoring this episode.

It's “Three for Thursday” as Jay brings us three new releases to check out. First up, Jason Isbell released his ninth studio album, “Weathervanes,” this past week. It's a calmer and more intimate sounding record than some of his previous and is getting great reviews from past critics. Next up we have a reordered & amended reissue titled "The Complete Dirty South" by The Drive-By Truckers. Comprised of songs from their 2004 album “The Dirty South,” but in a different track order and with some new songs added. Jay received his special edition vinyl prior to the actually release date, so we're getting some early hot takes. Finally we give Bob Dylan's latest (surprise) album "Shadow Kingdom" a listen. The album features re-recorded versions of past songs and there's a movie too? Apparently there is, and apparently it's awesome.Songs:Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - "Death Wish"Drive-by Truckers - "TVA"Bob Dylan - "Watching the River Flow"Nick came across a NY Times story about the adoption of A.I. technology within the classical music world. From classical singer Jen Wang's performance Alvin Lucier's “The Duke of York” accompanied by a digital rendition of her voice, to composer Robert Laidlow's “Silicon,” which incorporates various technologies throughout the movements of the piece, to the music designed by George E. Lewis for the last four decades, the article presents a conservative genre exploring controversial aspects of music's relationship to technology. There was plenty to discuss…Song: Huntertones - “Stede”Finally, Greg is excited to announce that because Manchester City completed the treble this past weekend, Liam Gallagher will have to make good on his tweets and reunite with brother Noel for an Oasis reunion. Then the bickering and taunts commenced and now they're at each other's throats again…freakin brothers. Nevertheless, we haven't talked much about the band Oasis and decided now was the time!Songs:Oasis - “Supersonic (Live at Knebworth 1996)”Oasis - “Champagne Supernova (alternate take)”Episode 201 Page

25 years ago Bob Dylan released an album whose artistic and commercial success proved an important contributor to his continued reinvigoration and late career success, a success that has continued to this day. This episode celebrates that album with a consideration of its making, its distinctiveness, and, of course, through its music. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we update you on Dylan's European tour itinerary, remind you about a great Youtube Channel, and provide more information about both the SHADOW KINGDOM and T-Bone Burnett Ionic Originals recording sessions from 2021. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to go to our Twitter page @RainTrains to vote for which version of “Can't Wait” is better: The alternate version from the Teatro in Oxnard, California, the alternate version from Criteria Studios in Miami, or the album version.
