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.

Welcome to Season 3, where Pod Like a Hole runs the gamut of music styles, bands, artists, and albums. In our season 3 premiere, we discuss the first half of Pink Floyd's 1979 album, The Wall.
This epic concept record is so sprawling it required two episodes for us to give it proper due.

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!

Season Two Finale - Part 2 of 2: Top Ten David Bowie Songs and Season 3 preview.
Wednesday Sep 16, 2020
Wednesday Sep 16, 2020
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.

Season Two Finale - Part 1 of 2: Top Ten David Bowie Albums
Saturday Sep 05, 2020
Saturday Sep 05, 2020
In the first of two wrap up episodes, the Pod Like a Hosts countdown and compare their ranking of all the David Bowie albums with a focus on the top ten. Followed by a brief essay question segment that Steve forced Eric and Marc to participate in. We considered dropping this as one giant 4 hour episode but why not milk the podcast feed a bit more and take another few weeks off. Saying goodbye is hard to do after all, as Marc will discuss with the audience when he has a moment during Blackstar.
If you're scrubbing to the end to see what season 3 is going to be all about, you're out of luck. We aren't going to share that info until next week in part two of the Finale - The Top Ten David Bowie Songs.
Thank you for listening.

For this little morsel, Steve and Eric interview Professor Glenn Hendler, author of the newest release in the 33 1/3 book series. This scholar's take on "Diamond Dogs" expands some minds and certainly adds to our previous dissection of the album. Listen, enjoy and buy his book! It's great!

A Space Poddity 27: "Heroes"
Thursday Aug 27, 2020
Thursday Aug 27, 2020
In this final episode of album analysis in the David Bowie cycle, we go out with a truly classic album, 1977's "Heroes." Marc, Steve, and Eric discuss if this album is the crown jewel of the Berlin trilogy, whether the avalanche of cover versions of the title track is worth sifting through, and if there's a hidden gem often overlooked found on this iconic record.

B-Side: "Lust for Life"
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
In 1977, David Bowie and Iggy Pop could not stop releasing amazing music. Though this season of Pod Like a Hole has been focused on Bowie’s albums, it has become clear that his work producing Iggy Pop’s records is a critical part of this conversation. 1977’s “Lust for Life” is no exception. Follow your Bowie Boys as we discuss this piece of work, and its connections to “Trainspotting”, ocean liner cruises and Bowie’s “Tonight”. Also, Marc admits to a serious crime on this episode. He’s currently on the lam and we miss him dearly.

Saturday Aug 01, 2020
Are your eyes feeling heavy? Are your pjs nice and warm? Do you have a half-sipped mug of Sleepytime Tea? Are you sliding in and out of consciousness? You might be listening to David Bowie’s 1999 sleeper “hours…” …or you might have just had a NOMAD soul jump to and from your body. Mr. Bowie and loyal axeman Reeves Gabrels followed up their genre stretching , and rather well regarded, mid-90s work with music and performances in the adventure game: OMIKRON: The Nomad Soul, as well as on an album honoring the sleepiness of getting old.
BUT NEVER FEAR: Steven, Marc and Eric are three nomad souls jumping into the sleepy bodies of “hours” listeners and giving them a shot of adrenaline as we hilariously dissect this album, analyze each track and consider how it fits into his 90s work as well as sets up his next millennium of output.

A Space Poddity 25 : 1. Outside
Saturday Jul 25, 2020
Saturday Jul 25, 2020
How will you be celebrating the millennium? December 31st, 1999. Will you be screaming in fear, dancing your anxiety away, or preparing a blood tribute for a dark and ancient God? In 1995 David Bowie foretold this future, with the help of Brian Eno, Mike Garson and others. Have no fear, your Bowie Boys (Steve, Marc, Eric) listened to this strange, shimmering spectacle of Tomorrow, dissected it song by song, and are presenting it to the ritual stone. Who killed Baby Grace Bellew? Maybe you'll get your answers here. Maybe you'll only get so many more, horrible questions. One thing is for certain, we collectively butcher the correct pronunciation of a certain guitar player who most likely was a big fan of too many zippers on a pair of pants.

B-Side; 1999: The Future is "Outside"
Wednesday Jul 15, 2020
Wednesday Jul 15, 2020
In 1995, David Bowie & Co. released the album ‘Outside’. We will be discussing that in our next official episode. However, in the liner notes, song lyrics, and skits, David Bowie was clearly telling a complicated story. A murder mystery taking place in the oppressive future of 1999. He dubbed this story “The Nathan Adler Diaries: The Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue - A non-linear Gothic hyper-cycle.” This would be too much to cover in our official episode, so just as he did in Season 1’s “Year Zero”, co-host Eric takes the wheel and delivers a summary of the (intentionally) complicated back story. This will fill in the gaps and get you the listener more prepared for our "Outside" analysis
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE:
Eric follows this up with an interview with long time friends of the show, The Wolgasts: Greg, Dan, Jamie, and even, briefly, Phiaus (aka Pulsar Glitch). Eric and the Wolgasts celebrate 90’s Bowie and discuss why this phase was unique for him. We discuss the legendary Outside Tour (with Nine Inch Nails) and, generally, how a group of kids discovered music in the 90s, in Arizona.
Enjoy the conversation.
