    Takin' An Imbalanced Walk With Buzz Knight

    When former co-workers, now podcasters, get together to discuss their podcasts, the conversation is wide-ranging and filled with discussion of radio past, and future. We discuss infusing artists, new and old, into the podcasts we host, our overall experiences as podcasters, and of course, THE MUSIC!
    It's a fun visit with an old friend, and now, top-ranked fellow podcast host! Thanks, Buzz!
    Here's a link to the "Takin' A Walk" podcast, to get you on the right path. As we are, "Takin' A Walk" is available on Apple Podcasts!

    Profiles In The Blues: Bessie & The Wolf - REDUX

    Profiles In The Blues: Bessie & The Wolf - REDUX

    This is a re-release of our #ProfilesInTheBlues episode, Bessie & The Wolf! Originally released 9/27/21:
    "Profiles In The Blues is a new umbrella concept on the podcast! In the initial episode, the Imbalanced Brothers delve deeper into the subjects of Bessie Smith, The Empress Of The Blues, (who's been mentioned before), and Chester Burnett's alter ego, Howlin' Wolf!
    Both were amazing forces of musical nature in their own unique way! These two under-appreciated American artists are part of the legacy that this podcast was founded to spotlight. While there will be many more episodes in this area, we invite you to enjoy this episode, and then dig back for our stories, and three episodes, about Robert Johnson, if you find the time!
    Take time to learn stuff about stuff you already know stuff about!
    Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!
    Thanks to our sponsor, Crooked Eye Brewery for their support of the podcast!"

    When you think of bass players in the 1970's, so many names pop into your head, right? Well, Markus and Ray had the same thing happen. Sorting through, sifting their grey matter, they've whittled it down to their 5 Favorites, but also both of them have long lists of "honorable mentions," in this episode! (Go figure...)

    Suzi Ronson Talks About Bowie, Ronno, Lou Reed & More!

    Suzi Ronson Talks About Bowie, Ronno, Lou Reed & More!

    Often in studying Rock & Roll History, we find various points of view on the same subject, or event. It's the nature of things. But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys.
    Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention to detail, she paints, more than tells, the tales included in this must-read book!!!
    Me & Mr. Jones, hits stores on April 4th! Be sure you listen to our conversation with her, to whet your appetite, at least!

    A Case For The Beatles - 5 Years Later!

    A Case For The Beatles - 5 Years Later!

    The Imbalanced History started, as many podcasts do, with a trailer in March 2019. 10 days later, Markus and Ray released their first actual episode, A Case For The Beatles. As the podcast evolved, and began musical illustration of episodes, they went back and "re-imagined" this fun ep. Now remastered for its 5th anniversary since release. Here's the original intro:
    "Since joining Pantheon, we have noticed a large number of people downloading A Case For The Beatles, which was our second episode, after our trailer (Questions And Answers). New subscribers, and Beatles fans alike will enjoy our holiday gift to our audience, a reimagining of this episode. Embellished by the music and words of "the lads," we hope you like it...again!"
    Here's to the next 5 years of Imbalanced History fun!
