The Throwback Podcast
Dan Hanzus and Bob Castrone love listening to music- almost as much as they love hanging out in a garage and talking about it. On The Throwback Podcast, lifelong friends revisit important albums from their past and go through them--track by track-- with fresh ears. From the classics to the cringeworthy, every week is a throwback.

Can you put a Parental Advisory sticker on a podcast? This week, Dan and Bob dive into THE BEST SELLING ALBUM of the 21st century! So if you're a fan of huge hit singles, casual misogyny, and rampant homophobia, this is the episode for you. Wait... that came out wrong. Anyway, thanks to all of our Patreonies who voted in our monthly listener poll. Now it's time to stan Eminem.

Nirvana's seminal 1991 LP has been lauded, pored over, dissected, and over-analyzed by Gen-X rock fans for over two and a half decades... so what could Dan and Bob possibly add to the conversation? Butch Vig cheap shots? 9/11 flash-forwards? Tales of middle-aged Walgreens employees procuring pornography for awkward young boys in the 90's? All of the above? We'll see. But the Patreonies voted so the Throwback Pod has answered: it's time for Nevermind.

It's finally happening: Red Hot Chili Peppers week on the Throwback Podcast. This week, the guys push play on Californication, the multi-platinum LP that spawned massive hit singles and turned 50% of the pod against SoCal's finest. So get ready for some Kiedis, Flea, Frusciante, and The Other Guy Who Kinda Looks Like Will Ferrell. And in the words of Anthony Kiedis himself, "Ding dang dong dong ding dang dong dong ding dang."

Erica Tamposi a.k.a. Ricky Hollywood a.k.a. the producer of Dan's other podcast joins the guys in the garage to revisit her favorite album EVER, the multi-platinum selling sophomore effort from the one-time N*Sync frontman and all-time object of her affection. There will be FutureSex, there will be LoveSounds, and there will be a whole lot of sexual tension... between the bosom buddies. Keep your mouth shut.

If you love America, apple pie, 80's butts, and working class anthems, you're gonna love this episode. Let's roll up our sleeves and go back 35 years to when Bob and Dan were just tiny humans in a coal town on the edge of New Jersey, and Bruce Springsteen was always *this* close to dropping into your local pub to play an impromptu 6-hour set.

Nikki Glaser: is she human or is she dancer? On this week's episode, we'll attempt to answer Brandon Flowers' grammatically incorrect question as we revisit the hits of 2008. Why 2K8? Bust out the corkboard and red string and maybe you'll figure it out.

In 2004 Bob made a Mix and mailed it to an old friend he had a massive crush on (no, not Dan). A couple of weeks later they reconnected in person and, well, you read the title. Jason Zumwalt joins Dan and Bob in the garage to help over-analyze the 12 songs Bob assembled to woo a girl in Maryland back when guys sent mixes instead of dick pics. It's totally awkward and undeniably cringe-y... and this is the one that worked.

Considering this is and always has been a Dave Matthews Band Podcast (despite the fact neither host is a fan of Dave, or listens to Dave, or calls him "Dave") it was just a matter of time before "Under The Table And Dreaming" got its due. Friend and legitimate Matthews-stan, Jason Zumwalt, joins Bob and Dan in the garage for a Dave-athon of epic proportions. WARNING: if you have an aversion to overused bad Dave Matthews impressions you MIGHT want to skip this one.

Janet Jackson. Rod Stewart. Heart - This is NOT your mother's Throwback Pod. Actually, wait a second... it MIGHT be your mother's Throwback Pod. This week, Dan and Bob are going WAY back to 1990 and listening to the Top 10 tracks off Billboard's Hot 100. Travel back to a time when Aerosmith wasn't creepy and fat jokes weren't off-limits. Nothing compares 2 This.

Dan and Bob are BACK in the garage! And what better way to celebrate the new era of Throwback Pods than by revisiting Gavin Rossdale's hit-filled 90's monolith "Sixteen Stone" -- an album that wasn't respected by critics... or roughly 50% of the people in the garage. If you like listening to super-hot dudes talking about other super-hot dudes, then this is the episode for you.
