In episode 299 of the podcast, we’re joined by Jess Margera (drums) and Mike Leon (bass) of the band CKY.

We dig into their recent tour of the UK, Mike joining the band, being the coolest band in the world (our words), and their excellent new track, ‘Can’t Stop Running’.

This was an absolute blast, Mike and Jess fit right in to the Podioslave world. We’re excited for what they have planned for 2026, and you should be too!

We start the episode with an announcement from our friends at Iodine Recordings (@iodinerecordings). They have recently announced another amazing reissue — Quicksand’s “Manic Compression”, and we couldn’t be more stoked about it. Long live Iodine and long live Quicksand! (@qsnyc)

In episode 298 of the podcast, we’re back for another round of “Nerds At The Bar”.

Anything goes in this one….what’s with the merry go round of drummers in 2025? Which one of these songs is not like the others, but it’s EXACTLY like them? Which album would you strategically remove from a bands catalog and why? We tackle all of this…..and more. 

We start the episode with an announcement from our friends at Iodine Recordings. They have recently announced another amazing reissue — Quicksand’s “Manic Compression”, and we couldn’t be more stoked about it. Long live Iodine and long live Quicksand!

In episode 297 of the podcast, we look back on 25 years of Papa Roach’s “Infest”.

We dig into our early memories of the record, how we were the perfect age for a band like Papa Roach and this record in particular, its explosion once “Last Resort” took hold, its legacy and Papa Roach becoming massive to this day, and so much more. This record still held up for us, so we had to give it the Podioslave treatment.

We start the episode with a game surrounding some of the eras nu metal titans and how they are just as relevant today as ever.

This was one we’ve wanted to do for the entirety of the life of the podcast. We love getting to chat with awesome folks like Josh and Kevin, and we couldn’t be more stoked on this convo!

In episode 295 of the podcast, we’re joined by Randy Bradbury (guitars/vocals) and Cameron Webb (bass) of the SoCal punk bank 84 Days. 

We dig into the formation of the band, how quickly the idea came together to create a full length, their friendship throughout the years as collaborators, working with Adrian Young of No Doubt on the drums, and their stellar new self-titled album that just dropped on Double Helix Records. 

You can tell listening to Cameron and Randy talk that they’ve been a great team for years. Whether it be Cameron producing Randy and Pennywise’s material, or in this new venture with 84 Days. Awesome convo!

In episode 294 of the podcast, we chat with Marcos Siega, director of some of our favorite music videos of all time. 

We dig into Marcos’ roots as a NYHC kid, his start in directing with music videos, and we drill down on videos from Papa Roach, System of a Down, Blink-182 and many others. 

Marcos is a music nerd at heart, just like us, so naturally we loved getting the behind the scenes of some of the biggest music videos of the late 90s and early 2000s. 

Check out Marcos’ work on Dexter: Resurrection, You, Dexter: New Blood and countless other projects. All time guest!

In episode 292 of the podcast, we give MGMT’s first album, ‘Oracular Spectacular’, the Podioslave treatment. We’re joined by friend of the pod, Kevin K. AKA “PRJCT MGR”.

We start the podcast talking about Kevin’s new music, under the name PRJCT MGR. A new song is out TODAY, and you should definitely go spin it. It was co-produced by the multi talented Ep 280 guest Dave Gutter. Maine Gang stays on top!
