100th Episode! In this season we roll our diamond dice, and it directs to one of our favorite albums of all time. That's the great thing about this "Run the Gamut" season about Pod Like a Hole. This time we landed on the 1986 Goth-Rock classic "Floodland" by Sisters of Mercy. Being Eric's pick, he arrives to the showing in a duster with swinging chains and a shiny cane, ready to show Marc and Steve how those synth bass grooves and reverb guitar riffs can, in fact, get into your veins. Will Dr. Avalanche make an appearance? Will Marc ever get the stains out of his white linen suit? Most importantly, will Hard Rock-meister Steve feel the spirit of rock'n'roll through this Goth pastiche? If you care about these answers...well that's why you are here. Enjoy.

It's been another year, and we've taken a break from our usual "Run the Gamut" release schedule. Eric, Marc, and Steve get together, share some 'nog, and celebrate the holidays in this very special episode. We discuss thing we enjoy about the yuletide season, do a very exciting Top 10 Holiday Films listicle, and and special guest drops in to say "Ho-ho-Hi!"
It's a good time for all, and our way of singing awful carols on your doorstep, interrupting you dinner, and forcing you to throw hot coffee at us so we'll scamper silently into the dark.
Enjoy. And Happy Holidays from your Hole Boys.

In this exciting third season of Pod Like A Hole, we "Run the Gamut" and each episode we sample some interesting albums by our favorite artists, track by track. For this episode, co-host Eric chooses the 80's post-punk classic "Night Time" by UK legends, Killing Joke.
Over the course of this episode you will receive an in-depth retrospective of their history, other classic albums, side projects, and an exclusive track-by-track analysis of the album. Steve will perform a ritual of dark magik, Marc will shimmy across the room with a cloak and Eric will hold his boombox up to his wife's window and try to woo her with the Goth vamping all over this record.
All that and your favorite team unpacks the 2020 election results.

Purple Rain, Part 2!
In this episode the gentlemen finish their discussion of the album Purple Rain by Prince and Revolution (in particular track by track discussion of I would Die 4 U, Baby I'm a Star, and Purple Rain). Tears are shed. But first - a Pod Crossover! Eric and Steve sit with Sly Dog of the Sly Dog Music Cast and Sly Dog goes deep on walking us through the first decade of Prince's career. We appreciate the Sly Dog calling in and hope you'll follow him home to his podcast in the future.
Next week we remain in the 80's and discuss a band that is both a Grunge, Industrial, and Metal influence.

Your intrepid Pod Like a Hole hosts finish our discussion on Pink Floyd's The Wall by analyzing each track on Side 2. Do we heap praise on the classic rock song staples found within? Without spoiling too much, you're damn right we do.
We also roll the bones to see what album we're discussing next as we run the gamut of our musical taste this season.

Another Brick in the Wall, Part Two
September 27, 2020
As you, dear listeners wait for Season 3 to begin, we greet you during this break with a very special bonus episode. In this hour, Eric interviews Adam Steiner, author of "Politics of the Asylum" and "Into the Never- Nine Inch Nails and the Creation of the Downward Spiral"). Adam discusses his process in researching this album, and what he learned along the way. The conversation digs deep in to the importance of NIN and spirals into tangents about 90's angst, American gun culture, The Manic Street Preachers, and much more.
Please enjoy this conversation, and check out Adam's book!

This is part 2 of a 2 part finale.
The hosts have some musings about what they learned over the last two or so years in discussing 27 David Bowie albums. That is followed by a a rousing discussion of their TOP TEN DAVID BOWIE SONGS. Spoilers: Eric tries to get too clever for his own good, Steve cheats, and Marc actually plays by the rules of a top ten list. The episode is capped off with the revelation of where this tin can will fly in season 3.
Thank you from the bottom of our black hearts for supporting this labor of love called Pod Like A Hole. We look forward to you joining us in what comes next.
