    Episode 22 - "Listen To The Band"

    In this episode it's all about the music as we feature instrumental hits from the 50's-80's. No lyrics, no singers, just the band. Please Note: This is the LAST episode of this podcast to be produced. The "What IS This?" podcast was created as a personal project for me during a time of career transition coupled with the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and was never intended to become an ongoing, perpetual project. As I upload this final episode I wanted to make a point of saying "thank you" to those who subscribed and listened faithfully, you've made this a fun, therapeutic way to weather the last number of months. Blessings and thanks, Deane (with an "e").

    Episode 21 - "Music of Cultural Change"

    In this episode we open a musical time capsule from a changing era in the world that began in earnest in roughly 1965. These records are just a few among the soundtrack of cultural change, political dissent and the desire above all for peace as one decade ended and another dawned.

    Episode 19 - "Singers Singing Songs About Other Singers and Songs"

    In this episode we'll hear some 45's from artists who recorded these records as tributes or shout-outs to other artists and THEIR records. (It's a very "meta" episode of the "What IS This?" podcast!)

    Episode 17 - "Go Home 1970's Music You're Drunk..."

    This is potentially the first podcast episode where EVERY song included could be a stand-alone "What IS This?" installment of its own. The one thing these songs all have in common is their release and success(?) in the 1970's.

    Episode 16 - "If You Can SING You Must Be Able To ACT Right?"

    Episode 15 - "Songs John and Paul Gave Away"

    They say that success is less about what you know than it is about WHO you know. In this episode we explore some artists who musically benefited from songs that John Lennon and Paul McCartney opted not to record with The Beatles but that still became hits for some of their friends and acquaintances.
