3 lifelong friends and self-proclaimed music nerds discuss all things music. Podioslave Podcast is a podcast for music nerds. Episodes will range from commentary on the current music climate (touring, music business, etc), to deep dives on specifics bands, to personal encounters with music. We nerd out on seeing live music, collecting music, and studying the music industry. No genre is off limits; however, you'll likely hear us discussing rock, hip hop, metal, etc. #nerdery
In episode 311 (+2) we dig into 311’s iconic 5th studio album, ‘Soundsystem’.
We talk early memories of the record, how it helped shape us as a podcast, the colorful vibes of the record, timeless sounds, and so much more.
Without this record, there is no Podioslave. Come Original!

In episode 311 of the podcast, we’re joined by Chris Wrenn - founder and owner of Bridge Nine Records and Sully’s Brand, and author of the new book Fenway Punk: How a Boston Indie Label Scored Big on Baseball’s Greatest Rivalry.
We last had Chris on in Summer 2023, and a lot has happened since. We kick things off by catching up — from recent shows at the Bridge Nine Beverly, MA store to what’s new in the B9 world.
We then dig into Fenway Punk, which chronicles Chris’ story about how Boston's hardcore punks profited off the rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees in the seasons leading up to the 2004 World Series. He tells us the behind the scenes on starting Sully’s Brand Tees, and how he was able to parlay that success into releasing independent music for the coming 2+ decades. It’s truly an amazing tale!
Chris continues to be one of our favorite people to talk to. If you care about independent music, Boston sports lore, or entrepreneurship, — this one’s for you.
You can purchase the book here.

In episode 304 of the podcast we pick up where we left off with Dave Buckner, the original drummer of the legendary Papa Roach.
We dig into what it was like for the band post ‘Infest’, expectations surrounding a new record, and ultimately the writing and recording of ‘Lovehatetragedy’.
It’s not often we get to talk with a musician who lived the roller coaster Papa Roach did in the early 2000’s, and getting Dave’s insight and perspective on this time was podcast gold. Long live Papa Roach.
