Welcome to Pod Like a Hole. In season 1, this was the place to hear Marc Alan, Steven Earl, and Eric Monroe discuss all things Nine Inch Nails and give an album (or Halo) analysis on each episode. For Season 2, we discuss all of David Bowie‘s studio work, live albums, and anything else tangentially related to The Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, Goblin King, Button Eyes, and more. For Season 3, we RUN THE GAMUT on artists, albums, and bands that we think are some of the most influential in modern music history.

In the latest installment of Pod Like a Hole, the gang goes Station To Station. They cover the crazy recording sessions that David and the band lived through, the nutzo influences our hero was living through, and the bonkers full length feature film The Man Who Fell To Earth lived through. All in the year 1976. This is all preamble to our track by track analysis of the 6 excellent songs found on Station to Station. It was a late night and Eric drank all the milk and Marc unleashed the secret of peppers. If you'd like to support Marc's pepper habit please consider becoming a patron over at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/join/podlikeahole. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as Steve did keeping Thin White Duke hours editing it.

If you've ever wondered how it would be possible to have three guys talk for nearly 3 hours about David Bowie's self-admittedly worst album, then wonder no more. Our trusty Diamond Dice sends us to David Bowie's 17th studio album, Never Let Me Down, where we traverse through what's considered David Bowie's career nadir. Eric, Marc, and Steve go track by track and compare it to the re-worked 2018 versions available on Loving the Alien (1983-1988) to see if this album got a bad rap, and we're not just talking about Mickey Rourke's appearance on the record.

Pod Like A Hole presents: A Space Oddity
02: "Space Oddity"
Marc, Eric and Steve, your hosts, rolled the Diamond Dice. Fate chose the next album and that choice sent us into a tin can, where we have been ever since...sending a track-by-track analysis of the David Bowie album "Space Oddity" back to ground control. Does anyone hear our transmission?
Enjoy this episode as we dissect this strange, folk-a-delic album. We look into the world of 1969, and have special legacy guest Jeff Anderson explain the politics and music scene of the summer of love from first hand experience in a series of sound bites.
Does Major Tom ever get back to Earth? Does the Growth Lab ever stop sucking life from their Messiah? Does Hermione enjoy her letter? We get into all of it and hope you enjoy it.
Please let us know if you do, or don't...or if we missed any good details.

Pod Like a Hole Phase 2: A Space Poddity
"Blackstar"
After sending Pod Like a Hole into the black hole at the end of Season 1, your boys have returned as a singularity. An enlightened entity of hope, wit and outrageous flash.... Marc, Steve and Eric have returned to host Season 2: A Space Poddity.
For each of these episodes we will randomly (thanks to our "Diamond Dice") review a David Bowie album. As always we'll give history, pop culture, and patented Pod Like A Hole humor and camaraderie. In this premiere episode, we begin at the end with the delightfully nu-jazzy swan song, known as "Blackstar". We bid Ol Button Eyes adieu, just as we nod bonjour.
In this episode we also discuss Kendrick Lamar, Aleister Crowley, and some recently dropped "Nine Inch News".

Well, it's done for now. After trekking through all Nine Inch Nails albums, singles, scores, and side projects, the hosts finally reach the end. We rank the albums and share our "Top 9" Nine Inch Nails Songs (It's actually 10, having O be the true #1, but we're sooo clever). As this season (series?) comes to its conclusion, we also look ahead to what's next.

In this BONUS episode, Eric talks with Nick Rusis, the very lucky fan to win the very lucky cereal box "Co-host a Bonus Episode" giveaway. Nick discusses becoming an Australian NIN-fan and the two give "The Fragile: Deviations" a deep dive. Or a much deeper one than your core hosts did a year ago.
It's a robust discussion about one of the greatest bonus albums of all time, all in a pithy, but entertaining, Bonus episode. Enjoy.

In this episode, your hosts explore the second EP in Nine Inch Nails’ planned trilogy, Add Violence. We take a look at the thematic elements and how any of this could fit into a re-interpretation of The Matrix films. Of course, Eric pours over the lyrics as if they were scrolls from the Ancient Ones, Steve does a dance for us in studio, and Marc gets dust in his eyes at one point. We even manage to get in some U2 and Todd Rundgren talk as well. Join us next week as we close this whole song by song thing out with Bad Witch.

The team (Marc, Steve and Eric) delve into the final (well most recent) NIN album and really give it their all. The drawings are bleeding down the cave walls, but we all somehow somehow make sense of them. The world is in a state of disrepair and we deserve every terrible thing we do to ourselves. Now let’s listen to 6 jaunty tunes about it! Your boys break it all down, discuss it’s connections to Bowie, how this ties in to the big Trilogy, and discuss other Big Trilogies! Listen, enjoy, interact: tell us what you think about this album, and trilogies in general. Don’t worry, though this is NIN’s last album, we are NOT DONE YET. Big announcements afoot regarding when we are making our big announcements. And also: Face/Off.
