    Bonus Episode 9 - UNHINGED with Nia D’Emilio (Patreon Preview)

    Hello Friends!
     
    On this episode of Unhinged, we review, well, everything. Nia and special guest Trevor Hodge, mastermind behind sunshine surf pop band The Burkharts, talk Beach Boys songs, albums, and events in a rousing game of "This or That." Listen for the hottest takes on Wild Honey, a lot of praise for Sir Paul McCartney, an impossible choice between two infamous recording sessions, and a tease for a project that Nia and Trevor will work on within the next six years. And listen to The Burkharts if you haven't yet! Nia thinks their latest single "Valley Girl" is great!

    76 - Sunflower (Part 3)

    Hello Friends!
    I just got my pay and now I'm seriously thinkin' bout this whole era, what a great time it was creatively to be a Beach Boy!  Will and John are scouring death certificates trying to locate a lost Beach Boys collaborator, Brian is still pretending to be a normal person, Bruce is self-deprecating, Al is still a country boy at heart, and Dennis discovers drum machines!  We're back home, baby!  
     
    Thanks for listening!

My favorite vegetable…

…. I mean podcast. But seriously, I am very obsessed with this podcast. I’ve been hooked since I started a few months back and I binge listen to this show anytime I’m doing chores. Based on things I knew about this show from what I read online, I was very hesitant about the co host changes that happen a few years in, but, honestly, I think I like the new direction better (I’m almost done with the smile sessions). Regardless, there’s not a bad episode here. I’m very excited to stick with this show for years to come.

Podcast has lost its way

It’s really sad that this podcast is now a shadow of what it used to be. It was fantastic! I was hooked! The rapport between Wyatt and Jason was great and the discussions were interesting, warm and rather funny on occasion. Not anymore. Instead we now have Will and John who breakdown every track, unreleased song and demo for every album in excruciatingly anoraky detail. So, if you ever wondered who played rhythm guitar on the demo version of an unreleased ditty then fear not; they’ll be sure to tell you. I’m very interested in how they The Beach Boys did what they did but this is neither fun or engaging. I feel like they’ve been talking about Sunflower for centuries. Wyatt simply does a walk on at the start to tell you how busy he is and that’s it. Such a shame.
