    Ep. 60: Alan Wong and 90s Web Fandom

    A/S/L? On this episode, we fall deep into the phenomenon that was 90s web superfandom with the one and only Alan Wong, alias SquirrelAl—webmaster of the legendary Sloan Hut. We wax nostalgic about Sloan Chat meetups, Pictures of the Week and forum escapades, as well as about friendships forged on the information superhighway that stand the test of time. To all Gen Zs and Alphas out there: you kinda had to be there.

    Ep. 59: Bass Challenge

    We are back — and once again joined by Trenton, NJ based musician and Sloan superfan Aaron Pinto. In this sequel to last year’s Drum Challenge, Rob and Aaron attempt to correctly guess the Sloan song based on its isolated bass track. How many of the 20 songs up for speculation did you get right?

    Ep. 58: Brian Walsby

    We dig into the Sloancast vault and uncover an entertaining conversation with artist and musician Brian Walsby about his newfound love for the GBOAT and his involvement as honorary merch-artist-in-residence. Join us down a rabbit hole of '80s punk bands, album cover cartoons, and just plain ol' good music.

    Ep. 56: Twice Removed (Part 1)

    We're (finally) back and we're finally addressing the elephant in the room. After four years, the time has come to discuss what many consider to be the band's greatest accomplishment: 1994's Twice Removed. As the album celebrates its 30th anniversary, we delve into what makes it a crucial part of where the band is today, and why critical acclaim might have come so late. Stay tuned for more episodes as the anniversary year rolls on!
