Eric Branstrom, Travis's cohost from their movie podcast Cinema 9, is back on '93-'94 to discuss his deep appreciation for the luminary Johnny Cash and his 1994 revival album American Recordings!

Travis admittedly isn't the biggest metal head, so it was an honor to have Brandon Callahan come back on to discuss another heavy hitter in the genre, Anthrax and their 1993 album Sound of White Noise.

Matt Fleming is a dear, old friend of Travis's, and they reconnected to talk about the monumental Nirvana album In Utero . Also, the conversation gets inevitably steered toward horror movies. Check it out!

The 1993 Breeders album Last Splash holds a very special place in the life of Tif Lawson, as it is deeply tied to her connections with her family. She comes on the show to discuss her love of this classic.

Punk rock and philosophy! That's pretty much always what's on order when you're talking to Luke Hoorelbeke, and especially for this episode where the topic at hand is the classic punk album Trashed from Lagwagon.

Chad Gibbons is a wonderful human being and a huge fan of Tom Waits. He has come onto the show to talk all about the 1993 album The Black Rider , as well as about Tom Waits more generally. Travis and Chad have a lot of history that gets unearthed in this episode as well. Thanks for joining?

Travis's good friend Amanda Hallbeck has come on to the show! The topic of discussion is Elliott Smith's debut solo album Roman Candle from 1994. Elliott Smith played something of a role in bringing Amanda together with her husband and she has come to tell us that story.

Part 2: It's pretty rare that members of Travis's former band Killdrama manage to get together in person, but it happened this summer with Travis, Jeff Branstrom, and Derek Fern (Morgan Peak and Jim Takacs were not in attendance). Many hours were spent around Jeff's pool, with plenty of beers and shots (and the sound of neighbors' gunshots), talking about Stone Temple Pilots' M...

David Rosen is a musician and the host of the movie podcast Piecing It Together. He is also a huge fan of the 1993 album 05:22:09:12 Off from Front 242.There has been a dearth of industrial music on this podcast, and Dave has come to set the record straight.

Adam has returned! He again made the trip north to record with Travis in person, this time to discuss the classic 1993 Counting Crows album August and Everything After . Two friends discussing one of their all-time favorite albums.

Shawn McGhee is not just a teacher, historian, and father-- he is also a huge fan of U2. He comes to the podcast with an appreciation for Zooropa as well as some sober criticisms. U2 is a titan of a band and there is much to be said about them. Fortunately, Shawn was more than up for the task.

Chris Deary is back! And he's here to talk about an album that is really important to him and to a lot of people-- Jeff Buckley's Grace .

Eric and Travis go way, way back. From middle school to the podcast they cohost today called Cinema 9, these guys have been through a lot. And for this episode they unpack their convoluted history as well as the classic 90s rock album, Weezer's Blue Album .

While Travis isn't the world's biggest metal fan, his old friend Brandon Callahan luckily is and has come on to the show to act as ambassador for the genre. Brandon really loves metal, particularly Pantera, and particularly their album Far Beyond Driven , so he is far beyond qualified to talk about it! Check it out!

Eron is back! He came on to discuss another one of the more influential bands in his life, Stone Temple Pilots and their 1994 album Purple . Check out his musical project Sidewinder Ansible at SoundCloud

Self-described "Sloan superfan" Kariee Rice came on to talk about the band's iconic 1994 album Twice Removed . Kariee and Travis hadn't hung out in well over a decade but had more than plenty to say about this Canadian classic.

Morphine is one of those bands that makes you feel cool just listening to them, and their seminal album Cure for Pain from 1993 is well beloved for good reason. Travis and his buddy Jess are both huge fans and got to geek out over this classic together in this episode.

Steve and Travis were damn near inseparable in the '90s, and the NOFX album Punk in Drublic was one of the ties that bound them. And it still does! Join their conversation about this punk rock staple.
