We Both Podcast Together Matt Essner

It's been almost 4 years since the last episode, and with a new Decemberists album looming, the Boys are back to discuss/belittle their favorite band. In this episode, (a very sleepy) Matt and Pete are joined by returning guest (our first three-timer!) Steve Wissinger, to talk about the first two tracks released from As it Ever Was, So it Will Be Again; "Burial Ground" and "Joan in the Garden".

Also in this episode, Pete tries to rally everyone's spirits with a new segment, then Steve counters with a segment of his own, which Pete takes over and makes his segment. It's pandemonium.

Welcome to We Both Podcast Together Season 2!

Pete and Matt are joined by fan favorite (probably) guest Mason Redmon to talk about The Decemberists two Christmas songs, Decemberists side project Black Prairie, Canadian Sitcoms, Canadian crooners that hate Jesus, Alan Jackson, Creed, Die Hard, and, of course, 9/11. This is a wild one folks, truly a magical Christmas Journey. Happy Holidays! See you in 2021!

This week the boys are taking a listen to Colin's band when he was in college: Tarkio. The lads are joined by Justin Spaeth, who still reads a lot of books you guys, he's very smart. Also discussed: Mormons, Catholics, The Irish, and at some point Matt conflates two Sean Connery (RIP) movies titles and  confuses it for a non-Sean movie {(Highlander + Outland) - Sean Connery = Outlander}. 

It's Halloween! (or close enough), and the lads get spooky talking about a collection of Decemberists tracks that only appear on various compilations/charity albums/soundtracks. Also discussed: ghosts, the election, and, weirdly, Saturday Night Live for an unusual amount of time considering both Pete and Matt claim not to watch it. It's a horrifyingly good episode!



PS: Stick around till the very end for an extra dose of fright!

Pete and Matt bring the first season of We Both Podcast Together to a close by ranking all of the Decemberists' albums and picking their favorite tracks. They also spend a lot of time talking about fast food burgers and Matt's incredibly logical and well thought out reason for hating dog owners. 

On this episodes, Matt and Pete discuss The Decemberists most recent release to date; the EP Traveling on. Despite Matt's clear lack of enthusiasm for the album, a good time is had by all... or is it? You'll just have to listen to find out!
