    June 1st, 2019  |  1 hr 6 mins

    Special Guest Rich McLaughlin (Sirius XM, I Heart Radio, WFUV, Amazon Music) joins us on a journey through “Time.” On this month’s Hidden Jukebox, we discuss REM’s Out of Time (1991) as well as what made the band great, what made the band fall apart, and why Rich is so damned obsessed with these guys.

    April 1st, 2019  |  50 mins 38 secs

    Green Day’s Dookie (1994) was punk rock your parents could enjoy in the car. Deceptively upbeat (until you listen to the lyrics), Dookie’s strong hooks and clever lyrics brought punk to a mass audience—and is still loads of fun today.

    This month, once again we talk about an obscure 90s album you've never heard of. Pretty good.

  • Episode 7: Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home

    April 1st, 2018  |  42 mins 46 secs

    A stone-cold classic that's as relevant, progressive, and weird as it was in 1995. These are loud, smart hope-from-the-gutter tunes, and we're kind of in love.
