About this listen

With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, since they are both musicians, they’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the tune’s musical attributes and lyricism. They’ll compare this song to similar songs (that are loved!) and discuss why the world has decided this song is a famous turd.

    Kevin and Casey ask the million-dollar question: can you still give Rent a chance if Broadway makes you break out in hives? Kevin revisits his teen trip to the show, Casey dissects every riff like a forensic scientist, and together they wrestle with whether maximalist musical theater can still, well… pay the rent.

    Kevin and Casey take on Hanson’s MMMBop to answer life’s big questions: Is it a vibe? A warning about mortality? A flower metaphor gone rogue? Kevin considers joining the band, Casey challenges the lyrics, and together they decide — bop it or drop it?

    A little bit of Lou Bega in our life. A little bit of Casey by Kevin’s side. A little bit of chancey, here I am. A little bit divine or is it damned?
