    Rock is Lit: Cassettes, Secrets, and Small-Town Mysteries: Matthew Fiander Reads from His Novel, ‘Ringing in Your Ears’
    Nov 12 2024
    In this episode, Matthew Fiander joins the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series to discuss and read from his debut novel, ‘Ringing in Your Ears’. Set in a Boston suburb during the early ‘90s, the story follows Louise “Blue” Cleary as she navigates the emotional aftermath of her sister Christine’s mysterious death. Already struggling to fit in as a girl barred from playing baseball and an umpire facing hostility from local parents, Blue’s grief sends her on a journey to uncover truths about her sister—and herself. With Christine’s cassette tapes as clues, Blue’s search reveals buried secrets about her family and the dark underbelly of their seemingly idyllic town. Matthew Fiander’s fiction has appeared in ‘Story Magazine’, ‘Mid-American Review’, ‘Zone 3’, ‘Willow Springs’, ‘The Massachusetts Review’, ‘Southern Indiana Review’, ‘South Carolina Review’, ‘Reckon Review’, and elsewhere. He has also written for ‘The New York Times’, PopMatters, and other outlets. His debut novel, ‘Ringing in Your Ears’, was published by Main Street Rag. Fiander currently lives and works in North Carolina.

  • My Weekly Mixtape: The Ultimate Rage Against The Machine Playlist (w/ Tony G. of Podioslave)

    My Weekly Mixtape: The Ultimate Rage Against The Machine Playlist (w/ Tony G. of Podioslave)
    Nov 11 2024
    This week’s guest curator is Tony G., co-host of Podioslave, and we're crafting a mixtape filled with the best songs from across Rage Against The Machine’s catalog. And to make things as difficult as possible on an already tough band to whittle down: since RATM only had 4 studio albums, a few b-sides / soundtrack cuts and some live material, we’re making this ep. even more challenging, because instead of our usual 20 song format, this playlist will only consist of 10 songs! Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page!

  • Imbalanced History: The FBI vs. Jim Morrison - 55 Years Later!

    Imbalanced History: The FBI vs. Jim Morrison - 55 Years Later!
    Nov 11 2024
    Originally released as Episode #134 on 9/6/2021, The FBI vs. Jim Morrison is one of the best episodes of the podcast from the early days! The guys were researching for a Doors episode when Markus unearthed Jim's FBI file! The episode is being re-released today on 11/11/2024, 55 years after the day of that insane Continental flight from L.A. to Phoenix! The FBI's extensive file on Jim and The Doors is dissected, showing Markus & Ray's love of this event, and its role, in Rock & Roll history. Also included? Ray's whacky "Jim Morrison Felony Arrest Poetry Jam!!!" It's rare when balance is brought to the Imbalanced History, but discovering this anniversary (okay, we stumbled onto it..) was inspiring! Hope you enjoy the re-release of this fun episode, and get ready for another new episode next week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
