Jeff Grant's Evolving Podcast

On the 2nd of the solo episodes featuring the Tastemakers guys(see previous episodes), self-proclaimed "Office Head" Ronald Allison came by the studio to dish about his all time favorite show, NBC's cult favorite The Office (US). That's what she said, right? Ha ha ha. Image copyright NBC. Jeff Grant's Evolving Podcast is available on SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and Google Play Music. For...

Cole Watkins from the Tastemakers episodes came by to discuss a strange movie he is fascinated by, The Man From Earth (you can watch it on Amazon Prime). I was unfamiliar with this one but I watched it and we discussed its merits here. It's essentially about a college professor who is leaving town and decides to tell his colleagues that he's been alive for a VERY long time. This one is kind of 2 e...

This episode of the podcast is straight up just an album I made in the summer of 2018 called Plight of the Frankentweens. No talking, just songs. The artwork is by my cousin Savanna White. These are the songs: 1) Do Not Disturb 2) Poem on Fire 3) Automatic Doom 4) Gray is in Our Blood 5) Ghost of a Daisy Wheel 6) Tweeting @ Tokyo 7) Gag Order 8) Kid's Pissed 9) Don't Be a Stranger 10) Didn't Barf...

After some time away, Jeff returns to the podcast to read some listener mail and play some songs (his own plus some recent favorites). The original version of this episode was removed from SoundCloud due to copyright infringement, so in this updated version the songs have been taken out and a computer voice says what song was played. Does that make sense? Jeff Grant's Evolving Podcast is available...

This is the first episode of the podcast! This was originally made on Friday, December 6, 2013. I did the initial 9 episodes in one batch over a few months (the 10th was done about a year later, I think), then I took a break until December of 2017. These haven't been available for a while. I wanted to get the original 10 added to the collection so you could see how the show "evolved". Jeff Grant's...

My friend Brian Carter (from episodes 26 & 29) called me the other night to talk about, you know, whatever, which is normal for us, and we decided we should record it for the podcast. This was an unplanned, very random conversation about... gosh, it's hard to remember (making up a standup routine, Toy Story 2, Lonesome Dove & bugs were brought up). We had a good time though. Hope you do too. (Warn...

I genuinely don’t know what my life would look like if Josh Irwin wasn’t in it. I think everybody has people like that and he’s one for me. We met in 1999 at a bible study, even though we’d been sitting next to each other in a community college classroom for a few months. We bonded over being new songwriters and a shared restlessness with life in Fort Worth, Texas, where we lived. One night, which...

Welp, the podcast is back. That was quick! A week or so ago my old friend and roommate Jeremy Dane messaged me on facebook to see about meeting up to catch up (we have NOT kept in very good contact over the years, sadly). A plan was set. Then, 2 hours before we were gonna hang out I texted him to see if he'd be up for recording our conversation for a podcast. He was down. This episode is that talk...

This is a quick episode to let everybody know I'm going to pause the podcast for a little while (starting December 27th). Mainly, I'm not doing enough episodes to justify the hosting expense. I'm hoping to turn the podcast back on sometime later, when I'm wanting to do it more. I host these episodes on SoundCloud but my year subscription is almost over. Luckily they won't delete, they'll just be h...

With great podcasting comes great, um, episode descriptions... Those Tastemaker guys that everybody can't get enough of reunited for more unadulterated laughter and, you know, like recommending stuff to each other again. Hear James talk about his recent European Disney cruise, wonder at the majesty of our recent TV viewing experiences and bask in the cavernous lore of Spider-Cop. It's an ugly job...

The Tastemakers (James Baker, Ronald Allison, Cole Watkins & Jeff) regrouped for another recommend-a-thon a full 3 HOURS in the making (this is how you sell internetware [NOTE: Jeff found out “internetware” is a real word while writing this podcast episode description and apologizes if he used the term incorrectly] ). Follow along and find out what nerds like this month. - Intro (00:00) - Heathcli...

Our old friend Brian Carter from a few episodes ago called back into the podcast this week for a late night conversation about the music we listened to as kids and teenagers and how it shaped us. Often during our normal phone calls we’ll drift into this topic and it seemed like it’d be a fun thing to record. We wanted to get into that age when you stop listening to the music your parents like and...

The Tastemakers (Cole Watkins, Ronald Allison, James Baker & myself) reconvened for another round of recommending & general pod(dy) shooting. Think of this as Show & Tell minus the show part. We cover movies, TV shows, video games, bands, comic books, etc. This is the 2nd time we've done this so if you'd like to hear the first one simply scroll backwards in your feed. The recommendations come quic...

My brother-in-law Clay Garmon is on the podcast today. We talked about his experiences as a head football coach at Eden High School in central Texas. They play 6-Man football there so we discussed how that works as well as Clay's rigorous schedule during football season, life in small town Texas, his new diet and a bunch of other topics. Clay is a very busy guy so I was glad we were able to find t...

My good friend Brian Carter (@briangoeswild on Instagram)phoned into the podcast last night for a surprise conversation about hunting and fishing on public land, living in Nashville, the differences between a chef and a cook, artistic integrity, jumping out of airplanes and much more. This is a long, rambling conversation so if you're bored by one topic you may be fascinated by the next (I don't k...

Do you ever sit and think, "Hmm. I wonder what Jeff watches on TV"? Well, congratulations, today's episode is for you. I went through all the shows I'm currently watching. That's pretty much all this is. No guest. No rules. Just straight up telling the people what's up. CORRECTION: I said a few times that the great Netflix food show Ugly Delicious was made by and stars David Chen but it's actually...
