With vocals equal part sneer and sweet, supported by a thick and fuzzy bass, Moler is a little pop, a little punk, slightly grunge, and very interesting on their lone album from 1997, Golden Duck. The three-piece is at no loss for volume, cranking out over a dozen two and a half to four-minute gems that have plenty of attitude and energy. Lead singer and bassist Helen Cattanach, along with Julien Poulson on guitar and Steven Boyle on the drums, are a tight unit that only falters when the melodies don't shine, which happens a few times on the back half of an otherwise engaging album. Songs on this Episode: Intro - Mustang Base 11:35 - Pseudoephedrine 23:06 - I Do, I Do 31:39 - Warning Sign Outro - Red Light Disco Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Steve Boyle of 241 Sports is not only a believer in multi-sport development, he has created a way for kids to sample many sports through 2-4-1 Sports. What led Steve to this decision? Well, he and his wife had both played many sports growing up, but the push might have come from a conversation with the potential soccer coach for his nine year old daughter. The coach was dismayed that she could not commit to playing only soccer AT AGE NINE! Steve and I go into more details about what 2-4-1 Sports does and the philosophy behind it. We discuss a program I love, the 241 Mile Challenge. If you want to reach Steve, the 241 Sports Website is a great place to start. You can follow him on Twitter (@241Sports).
