A music podcast that channels the joy of crafting the ultimate mixtape, one week at a time!

Spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as it sounds!

  1. The Ultimate Super Bowl Halftime Shows (w/ Justin Penik of Talkin' Giants)

    -5 J · BONUS

    The Ultimate Super Bowl Halftime Shows (w/ Justin Penik of Talkin' Giants)

    In this timely bonus episode, I’m throwing it back to a 2021 interview that Jay Sweet & I produced for Tunestiles Podcast with Talkin’ Giants co-host Justin Penik.  In the episode we talk about some of the greatest Super Bowl Halftime Shows of all time, including Prince, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Bruce Springstreen, and… Elvis Presto?!?! Since Tunestiles ended shortly after this episode aired, and was erased from the internet as soon as the show ended its run, if you weren’t a Tunestiles rider at the time, this discussion is essentially brand new! Keep in mind, it was recorded in 2021, so not included in the discussion were the Big Game Halftime performances from The Weeknd, Dr. Dre / Snoop Dogg / Eminem / Mary J. Blige / Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna or Usher.  Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com for all of the episode notes, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page! Theme music is "Unveiled" by The 4th. You can find the album on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, Bandcamp & more!

    The Ultimate Doobie Brothers Playlist (Ed Toth of The Doobie Brothers Interview)

    This week, I’m joined by The Doobie Brothers’ Ed Toth to talk about his musical journey that started as a child, jamming along to songs by the band, to his 9 year role as the drummer of Vertical Horizon which, in a full circle moment, lead to his role playing drums for the Doobie Brothers, a role he’s held for the last 2 decades. In this episode, we discuss: the stories behind Vertical Horizon’s hit album “Everything You Want” (which turned 25 last year, and was a feature of a My Weekly Mixtape Album Dive episode), as well as the 2003 follow up “Go;” the decision behind his departure from Vertical Horizon and the band’s continued relationship to this day; his role within the Doobie Brothers, that started out as one of the dual drummers, along side of Michael Hossack as well as Tony Pia, to his role as the band’s sole drummer; his 2017 project Button, which also features fellow Doobie Brothers member John Cowan, along with Keith Howland (formerly of Chicago); the songs that are essential to a Doobie Brothers live show, which includes more than just the radio staples; playing the band’s albums “Toulouse Street” & “The Captain & Me” in their entirety; the band’s plans for 2025, and so much more!

  4. The Ultimate Mixtape: A Musical Time Capsule Playlist, Vol. 3

    9 JANV.

    The Ultimate Mixtape: A Musical Time Capsule Playlist, Vol. 3

    This week, to celebrate the 100th episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I am creating The Ultimate Mixtape by asking 65 different people (previous My Weekly Mixtape guests, friends of the show & the amazing Patreon Mixtapers) the same question: If you had to choose one song for the ultimate mixtape (any song / any genre), that would be locked away in a time capsule for others to discover years or decades for now…which song would you choose and why?  Now, I’m not lost on the fact that the question is just a spin on the “desert island song” question that a lot of my guests have been asked countless times. The twist for the next few episodes is: I am taking those 65 song choices (all of which are from various bands, artists, decades, genres and tempos), and curating them into what I hope will be a properly sequenced playlist from a musical perspective!  At the very least? This was a fun & unique twist on a question as old as interviews themselves. But at its best? Congratulations, you’re listening to The Ultimate Mixtape!!  This ep. includes the final 25 responses! Be sure to also check out Volume’s 1 & 2 to get the full experience!   Guests appearing in Vol. 3 (in no particular order): Guy Fletcher of Dire Straits, Joe Bonamassa, Desmond Child, Ed Toth of The Doobie Brothers, Walter Trout, Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Nick Niespodziani & Peter Olson of Yacht Rock Revue, Billy Sheehan of Mr. Big, Kevin “Sonny” Gullage, Emily Wolfe, Jax Hollow, Sean Faust, Wolfgang Valbrun, Carrie Cunningham, Jesse Jackson of Set Lusting Bruce, Eric Senich of the Van Halen News Desk / Booked on Rock Podcast, Jessica Ann Catena of Music Notes With Jess, Bobby Schultz of Effin’ Cultured, Mac Wolf of The Ugly American Werewolf In London Rock Podcast, Jason Whissell of It’s Not That Bad & There Can Only Be One Podcasts, friends of the show Jimmy Mitchell & Bob Spear, two more incredible Patreon Mixtapers: David Lee Smith & Philip Bergman, and last (but certainly not least!) a guest appearance from Paul Williams!

    The Ultimate Mixtape: A Musical Time Capsule Playlist, Vol. 1

    This week, to celebrate the 100th episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I am creating "The Ultimate Mixtape" along with 65 guest curators, all of which were either previous My Weekly Mixtape guests, friends of the show or one of the amazing Patreon Mixtapers. And, because I simply couldn't celebrate 100 episodes in one sitting, this week will consist of three brand-new episodes!  Now, to create this Ultimate Mixtape, I started by asking these 65 different people the same question: If you had to choose one song for the ultimate mixtape (any song / any genre), that would be locked away in a time capsule for others to discover years or decades for now…which song would you choose and why? Now, I’m not lost on the fact that the question is just a spin on the “desert island song” question that a lot of my guests have been asked countless times.
