The Throwback Podcast

Dan and Bob are BACK, in separate garages, looking at the very first top ten countdown for MTV's Total Request Live. Video Pod -- and all new episodes of The Throwback Podcast -- available at Patreon.com/HeedTheCall

Welcome to the first installment of the newest Throwback Podcast Series: Appreciate. Do you appreciate Michael Stipe and his band of college alt-rock revolutionaries? Well, by the time you're done with this episode, you will.

What the hell was going on in the early 90's?? NKOTB? Color Me Badd?? Joey freaking Lawrence??? WHOA! I mean, seriously Early 90's... whatzupwitu?

It's The Greatest Night In Pod, as the Throwback Podcast RETURNS with a USA For Africa-sized episode destined to save the world. Dan (the Lionel Richie of this operation) and Bob (clearly the Dan Akroyd) dig into Netflix's Greatest Night In Pop doc by revisiting the artists that made "We Are The World" the most incredible song ever recorded.  Join Us On Patreon

What if Dan Hanzus produced Oasis' third album? What if he was able to convince Liam & Noel to include their best unreleased tracks & b-sides that were unbelievably strewn aside in the 90's? What would Be Here Now look like and sound like with a completely re-imagined tracklist? Would Dan have been able to save Oasis from Oasis? Let's find out. 

Welcome to the Black Parade. 

Fighting with Jay-Z? Pissing off Papa Roach?? Corrupting Lifehouse??? Before he was a sports broadcasting titan, Matt 'Money' Smith lived a whole other life in the music industry. On the latest Throwback Pod, Money regals the boys with stories of his time in the “biz” — and dives deep on 2004, a pivotal year during his time at the legendary KROQ in Los Angeles.

ATN HERO Marc Sessler joins Dan and Bob in the Throwback Podcast Studio (a.k.a. rented garage) to take a walk down memory lane and share the music that soundtracked his life. From Duran Duran to Richard Marx to a man named Dave, come with us on a journey, and experience MARC... in the Key of C.

What were you doing in the summer of '02? If you were anything like the NFL Network's Colleen Wolfe (a.k.a. Connie Fox a.k.a. Tiny Box a.k.a whatever her name was on her old fake I.D.) you were blasting 311 out of your '93 Trans Am and getting ready for your senior year of high school. This week Dan, Bob, and Colleen travel back to the days of Jimmy Eat World, Avril Lavigne, and absolutely filthy...

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 ove...

Comedian/television host/actress/friend Nikki Glaser drops by the garage to revisit the songs that ruled the world during a very strange time to be alive -- 2001. Shaggy. Creed. J-Lo. Lifehouse. The Lady Marmalade song. It's almost impossible to imagine this was real life. And yet ... it was. PUT IT ON THE BOARD!

In the debut episode of The Throwback Podcast, Dan Hanzus and Bob Castrone discuss their bosom buddy origin story, then dial back the time machine to August 1997 and the release of Oasis' infamous flop, "Be Here Now". There will be morse code, helicopter whirring, cocaine, and more guitar rock than the world was ready for. Did we mention cocaine?
