We Both Podcast Together Matt Essner

The Boys are joined by Justin Blair Spaeth to discuss Colin Meloy's solo work: his live album (Colin Meloy Sings Live!), and his 4 cover EP's (Sings Morrisey, Sings Shirley Colins, Sings Sam Cooke, and Sings the Kinks). As usual, we are relentlessly mean to our favorite ginger Decemberists fan. I have no idea why he puts up with our abuse, but we're glad he does.

An episode Pete described as the most masturbatory episode we've ever done. In this episode The Boys take some time to recalibrate and reassert their musical tastes by talking about what they've been listening to since the end of WBPT season 1. Pete reveals his secret hip-hop proclivities while Matt explains his K-pop fandom in a way that makes it sound like he's into K-pop for reasons other than the music (Which is not the case! He really just likes pop music sometimes!). A classic Pete/Matt hang out, mess-around chat.

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!
