    23. Wait… I Might Actually Like This

    Leslie and Tim roll straight from Rush into the wide, weird, wonderful world of prog rock.

    22. Rush (Part 1?)

    Leslie and Tim dive into Rush for a Make Me a Believer episode, exploring how the band evolved from its early hard rock roots into one of the most technically precise and polarizing acts in rock history. They walk through the catalog from the debut album to Moving Pictures, highlighting the shift from John Rutsey to Neil Peart, the band’s move into progressive rock, and the literary depth of Peart’s lyrics. They talk through standout tracks including Working Man, Fly By Night, The Trees, La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, and the massive impact of Moving Pictures. Leslie shares her love for the band’s storytelling and musicianship, while Tim breaks down the technical side of the playing, including Geddy Lee’s multitasking on bass, keys, and foot pedals. They also touch on the band’s return to touring with drummer Annika Nilles and how she has stepped into an impossible role with skill and respect.

    21. Alter Bridge, Tremonti, Myles Kennedy

    Leslie and Tim celebrate Episode 21 — officially old enough to drink — and dive into the world of Alter Bridge, Tremonti, and Myles Kennedy. Leslie brings on a special guest: her son Brad, the very reason Alter Bridge ever entered the family playlist. Together they trace how the band rose from the remnants of Creed, blending Mark Tremonti’s heavy, precise guitar work with Myles Kennedy’s soaring, emotional vocals to create a sound that’s melodic, powerful, and unmistakably theirs. Brad shares how he stumbled onto Alter Bridge through a guitar‑riff app, instantly hooked by the band’s musicianship and depth. Leslie reflects on hearing songs like “Open Your Eyes,” “In Loving Memory,” and “Blackbird” for the first time — wondering how this band had been hiding in plain sight for so long. The trio explores the band’s evolution, their dual‑solo magic, and the way Tremonti and Kennedy each branch into solo work that reveals their contrasting strengths: Tremonti’s metal‑leaning intensity and Kennedy’s soulful, acoustic storytelling. The episode wraps with a look at how these artists manage to balance solo careers with a unified band identity — a rare, ego‑free collaboration that keeps producing some of modern rock’s most compelling music. It’s a cross‑generational deep dive full of riffs, emotion, and discovery, proving once again that great music is meant to be shared.

    20. When Doves Cry Purple Tears

    Leslie and Tim dive into the purple universe of Prince — the artist, the innovator, and the musical force who blurred every boundary. Leslie opens with her trademark humor and local updates from Camel City Playhouse, while Tim joins as the Podfather, ready to unpack the genius behind the Minneapolis sound. Together they trace Prince’s journey from his early Warner Brothers days to his reign as a multi‑instrumentalist who demanded creative control at just nineteen. The conversation moves through the eras — from Dirty Mind and Controversy to Purple Rain, Parade, and Sign o’ the Times. They explore how Prince fused funk, pop, and rock into something unmistakably his own, how he wrote hits for other artists, and how his live performances redefined what it meant to be electric. Leslie and Tim share favorite tracks, trivia, and personal memories, from “When Doves Cry” to “Kiss,” “Diamonds and Pearls,” and the unforgettable Super Bowl halftime show that turned rain into purple magic. The episode closes with reflections on Prince’s creative independence — his transformation into the unpronounceable symbol, his fight for ownership of his masters, and his legacy as one of music’s most fearless artists. It’s a celebration of artistry, rebellion, and the kind of genius that only comes once in a generation. You can send musical or real estate questions here.Subscribe, like, rate, review.

Leslie opens with her usual mix of laughter and local updates, sharing news from Camel City Playhouse and the upcoming Foolish Mortals Improv night. Tim joins in as the Podfather and reveals that he is part of the Foolish Mortals cast himself, adding a behind‑the‑scenes twist to the conversation. Together, they set the stage for a decade defined by acoustic guitars, smooth vocals, and unforgettable melodies. The playlist runs deep with favorites from America, Bread, Lobo, and Helen Reddy, along with trivia that connects Phil Hartman to album art and Kenny Loggins to heartfelt lyrics. They move through Steely Dan, Chicago, Van Morrison, and the Eagles, sprinkling in stories about live performances, personal memories, and the joy of rediscovering songs that never really left the airwaves. The episode captures the warmth of vinyl and the humor of two friends who know how to mix music history with personality.

    18. Stump Tim

    Leslie and Tim settle in for a playful round of musical trivia as Leslie tries her best to stump Tim with a mix of swing revival, ragtime jazz, Canadian pop, and a few deep cuts from her own library. Along the way she shares updates from Camel City Playhouse, including the upcoming production of Next to Normal, and talks about her work as a pit singer for Sweeney Todd at Kernersville Little Theatre. The conversation moves easily between theater, music, and the kind of stories that only happen when two friends compare notes on what they have been listening to. The guessing game turns into a tour through unexpected artists and forgotten favorites. They revisit Jellyfish, explore JohnnySwim, and talk about the soulful sound of Alan Stone. Tim weighs in with his encyclopedic recall while Leslie brings the enthusiasm of someone who loves discovering new music. The mix of opinions, surprises, and laughter keeps the episode moving with the same energy listeners have come to expect. Leslie closes the episode with a Real Estate Minute focused on closing day and the final walkthrough. She explains what buyers should expect, how the process works in North Carolina, and why timing matters when it comes to recording and receiving the keys. It is a practical finish to an episode filled with music, theater, and the joy of sharing what you love. You can send musical or real estate questions here.Subscribe, like, rate, review.
