Podcasts about weekly list

Because we do not have an original show scheduled for tonight, we bring you the first installment of 5th Monday Specials. Tonight Daniel G. Moir of The Weekly List talks with Vicki Scott of Verbena Vinyl about Record Store Day.

Danny takes the week off, and in come Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s dear friend since early childhood, Kate Pehrson, to celebrate the magnificence, the majesty, and the exquisite glory of Cher. Seriously – Rich, his oldest friend, a Drag Queen and Cher. What else do you need?

Rich and Danny go through their complicated relationship with Eric Clapton, and pretty much just gush about his music. It’s that kind of show tonight.

This week, Rich and Danny explore the world of the epic song. The music on this show is the stuff of euphoria for a music producer. These songs all start out as just a melody on a guitar or a piano, but eventually turn into forces of nature packed with instrumentation, grandiose arrangements, and oh-so-much […]

Using the new Led Zeppelin documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin, as a good excuse, Rich and Danny pretty well just geek out over the band’s heralded second album, Led Zeppelin II.

This week, Annie Larson joins her husband Rich for what is now their annual Valentines Day Show. They try really, really hard to not be sappy and all that, but let’s be honest, they’re adorable. Happy Valentines Day!

Rich is just positively giddy, because Phil Collins’ third solo album, No Jacket Required, was his favorite album in high school, and he still loves the music deeply. The boys talk a lot about something called Gated Reverb, discuss the mystery of the “bonus track,” and break down No Jacket Required as the album approaches […]

This week, on the night before the legendary Teri Kath’s 79th birthday, Rich and Danny take a look at one of the finest horn bands ever to play rock & roll. No real arguments. No meltdowns. No passive aggressive dissing between the two of them. Just respect for a Hall of Fame band, and especially […]

One of the conversations Rich and Danny had with the new year approaching was about Phil Collins and how they needed to give him more attention. This show is the first in a series of Phil Collins related editions of The Weekly List, tonight focusing on his amazing debut solo album, Face Value. You’re gonna […]

The traditional first show of every new year on The Weekly List is the annual presentation of the Daniel G. Moir Music Awards. Danny’s not quite feeling the humor in the world as much as he has in past years, so he takes a more serious approach. But, it is Danny after all, so things […]

Rich and Danny attempt to establish a tradition by inviting the two alternate co-hosts onto the show to discuss the year that was. This time, Rich’s beloved wife Annie sits in for the unavailable Kristi Pursell – perhaps next year there will be five of them in the studio? – and each host presents three […]

Laura Meyers does her own solo show takeover – although Rich gets far more involved than anyone had planned – to bring us the 2024 installment of her annual mental-health check-in shows.

Every year during the first week of December, Rich and Danny do a Beatles themed show in honor of John Lennon. This year, they invite their old friend Kollibri terre Sonnenblume to join them and talk about his reimagined version of the White Album as a one disc collection called Apple Cart. Three old friends […]

Because who doesn’t equate Thanksgiving with The Red Rocker? Okay, Rich and Danny know the timing of this show is a little weird, but the Sammy Hagar show has been bumped at least twice since October when the boys had originally intended to do this show to celebrate Sammy’s birthday. Oh well, you’ll still get […]

Thanks to a generous invitation from the members of Northfield Band Fred the Bear, Rich, Danny and their merry band of knuckleheads find themselves recording at the legendary Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, just like Nirvana did. Except this show probably isn’t as good as In Utero. Regardless, they celebrate the location by playing music […]

Rich and Danny are joined by a full cast characters to discuss and digest the second election of Donald J. Trump to the American Presidency. The music is appropriate for the times.

It’s Halloween, so a coven of witches (or as we like to call them, Annie Larson, Laura Meyers and Kristi Pursell) stopped in for the first in a series of Weekly List Takeover shows to talk about taking a bite out of the patriarchy with a list of songs by some great witches and bitches. […]

This week, Danny and Rich are joined by their pal Mike Stiles to break down Meat Loaf’s magnum opus, Bat Out of Hell. It turns out this is the best selling album of all time in Australia, so if you think that you don’t like the album, maybe give it another shot. Rich, Mike and […]

Somehow it’s been 20 years since Green Day resurrected their floundering career and catapulted themselves to more success – and much more respect – than they had ever experienced before. Not only is American Idiot the best album they have recorded to date, but many (Rich and Danny included) consider it to be the best […]

This week the boys are joined by Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s “Rich & Ryan in the Morning” Show partner, Ryan Foley (aka Mr. Moxie), as they continue the weeklong one year anniversary celebration of Out in the Open with Mrs. Moxie.

This week Rich and Danny wish a belated happy birthday to Hall of Fame producer Daniel Lanois. The name might not be familiar, but the people with whom he has worked (U2, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, many others) will be. The guys go through some of the highlights of Lanois’ production career, and play a […]

Jeff Lynne is bringing the farewell ELO tour to St. Paul on Monday night, and of course Mr. Daniel G. Moir has a ticket for that show. So to help him prepare, the boys celebrate the music of the Electric Light Orchestra. Danny is driving the bus on this one, which Rich is happy to […]

This week Rich and Danny break down Bruce Springsteen’s first solo album, Nebraska. While this is a sober, almost dour album, the boys have a lot of fun (too much fun?) talking about this album. They certainly mean no disrespect. They both really love the album. But, they also hadn’t seen each other for a […]

The boys have been off the air for a while, so they are easing back into this whole thing with a show built around the music they heard while they were on hiatus. Sometimes these make for the best shows. This might be one of them. They’re just happy to be back.

This week Danny and Kristi Pursell are joined by our new friend Jason Pusey to talk about and revel in the music of The Indigo Girls.

Celebrating the impending end of another trip around the sun for the one and only – truly there is no one else like him – we get a show filled with songs he saw performed over the last 12 months. And, while you’re listening to the show, he’s sitting in Madison Square Garden watching Billy […]

Well, look who’s back! Laura Meyers and Kristi Pursell take one of their occasional turns as hosts of the show, to bring you their take on what freedom means in the United States of America on its 248th birthday.

The boys return to a topic that was visited in one of the first ever editions of The Weekly List. This week Danny suggested a Road Trip show, and Rich agreed immediately, even thought he had already done a Road Trip Show in August of 2019. Why? Because Rich and Danny have been on a […]

Rich’s annual birthday show finds him waxing nostalgic about the year he turned 17. All the good stuff, some of the bad stuff and a few things, like The Smiths, in between.

After a one week hiatus due to technical difficulties (we apologize for making you wait), we bring you the second episode of our look at the classic Clash album, London Calling. Yes, you had to wait, but really, aren’t the Clash the Only Band That Matters? Tonight’s show is worth the wait. Also, Jeff Johnson […]

Rich and Danny take complete advantage of the fact that today is Topper Headon, the legendary drummer from the even more legendary band The Clash, to do a show they have always wanted to do. Jeff Johnson, soon-to-be Owner Emeritus of KYMN Radio joins the boys to break down one of the best albums of […]

Commemorating a year since he passed away, Rich and Danny dig on the musical stylings of the great Canadian troubadour, Gordon Lightfoot. At least Rich does. Danny, as it turns out, isn’t a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan. I mean, he’ll tell you that he thinks Gordon Lightfoot is okay… but you can hear it in […]

Rich was excited to do this show, but nowhere near as excited as Danny was. The boys revel in that good old familiar 1980’s feel as they talk about one of the most influential bands of the era. And they play a lot of really good music.

Celebrating Billy Joel’s 75th birthday, his two most prominent KYMN admirers, Daniel G. Moir and Rich Larson, roll out a show cock full of Billy Joel rarities, outtakes, and even a couple of tunes by The Hassles. (who?)

This week, remembering Eric Carmen and Karl Wallinger, two great purveyors of Power Pop, Danny and Rich are joined again by their friend (Rich’s former boss, Danny’s current boss with the Minnesota Twins) Mike Stiles, as they dig into the simple yet sublime world of The Raspberries, Cheap Trick, World Party and so much more.

Led Zeppelin is, by any definition, one of the most important bands in the history of rock & roll. The topic of Led Zeppelin is just too big to tackle in one or even two shows, so Rich & Danny have decided to tackle them album by album. A while back they broke down Led […]

This week, Rich and Danny mark the 56th anniversary of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King with music related to the Civil Rights Movement, some vintage, some much more recent. One of the few editions of the Weekly List that we could call “important.” This is some pretty powerful music. It’s worth […]

Rich & Danny go through the annual, and possibly futile, exercise of selecting which of this year’s nominees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should get in. They make the case for a couple folks that will likely not get in, and talk about why they don’t think a few that are likely […]

Rich and Danny are joined by their pal Mike Stiles to break down Mike’s favorite album, Breakfast in America by Supertramp, a couple days before the 45th anniversary. Mike talks about being 17 and loving this album. Rich talks about being 10 and loving this album. Danny is still both 17 and 10, and he […]

February 29th lands on a Thursday night, and Rich & Danny just can’t help themselves. They take the opportunity to switch roles this week – Rich plays the most obscure songs he can think of, while Danny plays a bunch of hit songs. Shockingly, both of them have a ton of fun doing this show. […]

Rich is fond of saying that nobody should have to apologize for the music they listen to. If you love a song, then you should never be embarrassed by that, even if the rest of the world likes to make fun of it. In celebration of Danny’s impending first Air Supply concert, the boys give […]

Annie Larson, Rich’s wife, returns to the show for another Valentines Day conversation. The two play songs that remind them of each other, while extolling the virtues of Orlando, Florida, Seattle, Washington, Latin music, Mesa, Arizona, and Northfield, Minnesota. Also they talk a little bit about their marriage.

A special and brief edition of The Weekly List. Rich happened to be hosting the KYMN Morning Show the day Billy Joel released Turn the lights back On, so he played the song and then invited Danny to come on the show with him to talk about it.

Danny answers Rich’s Steve Earle show with a show about Billy Bragg. The difference is, however, Danny let’s Rich sit in on this show

This week Danny steps aside to let Rich go solo in order to celebrate a guy to whom Rich says he owes quite a bit. Steve Earle is the reason Rich gave up the fight and gave in to his love of country music. And then he spends the next 90 minutes explaining why he […]

A couple months ago, Rich and Danny asked Laura Meyers to join them for a show about Whitney houston. Their friend Kristi Pursell saw that and asked, “When are we doing the Beyoncé show?” Well, with Rich on vacation, this week is a perfect time to invite Kristi in to, alongside Danny, give us a […]

It’s the first show of the new year so, of course the boys do the one thing that Danny hates to do – look back. But as is tradition, we get a rundown of the year that was and how Danny saw things in 2023. he even brings in a special guest to talk about […]

Rich and Dany are joined one more time by the owner and Big Head Honcho at KYMN Radio, Jeff Johnson, to finish their three part series on the book published by Bob Dylan in 2022, The Philosophy of Modern Song. The guys play songs that Dylan wrote about and read excerpts from the book, and […]

Rich and Danny always try to do a Beatles-centric show in early December. This show had been on the schedule a year ago but was derailed after Danny’s unfortunate entanglement with that North Dakota Mountain Lion. A year later, with Danny’s knee mostly healed, the boys resume their annual examination of those lads from Liverpool. […]

Commemorating what would have been Jim Morrison’s 80th Birthday on December 8th, Rich and Danny spend some time in the world of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore. While Danny revels in this time with the Doors, Rich is forced to come to terms with the fact that, despite the fact he […]
