Rock & Roll Shin-Soo Choo features discussions mixing baseball and rock music. Nearly twenty years ago, hosts Gabe Estill, Jonathan Goetz and Levi Leach all went straight from spending their allowances on baseball cards and Starting Lineups to spending paychecks on records, CDs and concert tickets. From classic rock and metal to indie, alternative and whatever may have been released last week, their diverse musical tastes generate discussions that will touch all four corners of the rock and roll landscape. Each episode also covers current events in Major League Baseball, along with its rich past of heroes, characters and bit players.

    121: Field Guide to 1990

    In 1990, the shift away from hair metal was nearly complete. While alternative music was about to explode, hip hop and country music began their decade of ascendance, with artists like Garth Brooks and Public Enemy gaining popularity. Meanwhile, in MLB, the Reds and A's were on a collision course with an unexpected outcome.

    119: Choo-In Hall of Fame Inductions

    Every year we hold the Choo-In Hall of Fame inductions, which are intended to recognize artists that are unlikely to be enshrined into the actual Rock Hall, but we feel are equally deserving of the recognition. This year, Levi inducts XTC, Jonathan inducts Terry Allen, and Gabe inducts John Martyn.
