TTBB 57 - Always Chillin‘

Joel and Steve heard about the Always Chillin' podcast a couple months ago, and are thrilled to get to chat with the hosts Tom and D!   (Who know there was another 'two dudes talking' podcast coming out of Lincoln, NE?)  

Despite coming from very different backgrounds, the four of them find much common ground, and have a great time doing it!  

The Always Chillin' podcast is definitely worth a listen, check them out wherever you listen to podcasts!!  Unlike Joel and Steve, they also do video - you can check that out on YouTube:

Joel and Steve discuss The Beatles!  Peter Jackson's 'Get Back' documentary opened up the 'Beatles Box' for both Joel and Steve, both of whom have a long-time love of the group and the people in it.   They discuss when they first became aware of the music, what it's meant to them over the decades - and how the new documentary ties it all together.  

This episode is dedicated to Jack Van Cleave.

TTBB 55 - This Place Is Dead Anyway

Joel went to Denver for a work thing, and was able to go see some music while he was there.  It was good!  (<-Understatement.)  They talk about being involved in a scene for a length of time, how music weaves itself into our lives - and about making major life changes.

TTBB 53 - Danny Reneau!

Joel and Steve are delighted to sit down (virtually) with Lincoln, NE artist Danny Reneau!  Steve and Danny know each other through a band Steve was in previously, Danny did the poster art for some of those shows.  They reconnected recently as Danny had a public showing and Steve went down to check it out!  Danny has many irons in many artistic fires, and is an interesting and multi-faceted guy - this is a great conversation!

**TECHNICAL CAVEAT** - Due to technical issues there is an unfortunate 'cut' in the conversation with Danny at about the 13:40 mark.   The producers apologize both to Danny, and to our listeners for this issue.  The conversation rather abruptly goes from how Danny got to Lincoln - to his current work on a children's book.
