The Hold My Spot Podcast

Our season 1 recap episode! We discuss the high points and low points of the 2023 concerts we attended, covered some music news, played a fun game called “Switch My Spot” and took a look at what’s to come in season 2!

Here ya go

Matt and Ethan are getting along swimmingly again. Is Ethan on a hot streak? You decide.

Ethan is back! For now... Let's see if he can keep up this pace.

Luck you! Our longest episode to date. We recap a wild weekend in Las Vegas!

Not a concert review but a quick review of the brand new Darren Aronofsky film, Postcard From Earth at the Sphere Las Vegas.

Classical Emo!

It's your lucky day! This is my shortest episode yet. Huge shout out to DROELOE for jamming on the Trumpet during his set and San Holo shreds on guitar!

It's Ethan and...his wife, Megan recapping the Trousdale concert at The Ark is Ann Arbor while Matt fumes with jealousy back east.

Concert Road Trip to Columbus, OH at the Rumba Cafe.

My apologies to Holding Absence and Thousand below for forgetting your band names in the review. I'll blame it on my advanced age...

Ethan's "triumphant" return to the Podcast after going missing for 2 months...

Another out of order update...

One of my favorite pop punk bands of all time. Can you tell?

A little out of order with this one, but oh well?

My second solo review! Ethan who, ammirite? jk.

Check out the Podcast's greatest episode yet... featuring Matt solo reviewing Mest at the Winchester in Lakewood, Ohio.

Check out this episode for our review of Sad Summer Fest 2023 We road-trip to Cincinnati to check out Taking Back Sunday / The Maine / Motion City Soundtrack / Pvris / Hot Mulligan / Mom Jeans / Stand Atlantic / Sincere Engineer

It's our biggest concert of the year! Arguably the biggest of our lives? We're forming core memories and not sure how many we have left. It's blink-182 day y'all and we don't spare any details about how we spent it. So grab a bevvy and hang out. We held a spot just for you, friend.

Our 3 favorite bands of ALL TIME, you ask?? Oh, you didn't ask? Well could you do us a solid and just ask? Please and thank you! We answered this question while hoarding calories for the blink-182 concert in Cleveland later that night. Yes, we were two corporate hacks recording a music podcast at a BREWERY. Name something more hacky. I'll wait. And while you think on it, keep this playing....

Two corporate hacks fend off their advancing ages by seeing a band that commercially peaked in the 2000s. Their opener also played this new thing the kids are calling 'shoe gaze' (?). So grab a drink and join us for this post-concert riff. We held a spot just for you.

One corporate hack, and proud 'Spouse of Swiftie', tells his fellow corporate hack about his experience at night 1 of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour'. We would like the Swifties to know we are allies, we come in peace, and please don't hunt us down for anything we said or did not say. Please and thank you! And whadda ya know? Looks like we held a spot just for you, friend.

Two corporate hacks fend off their advancing ages by going back to the basics: heavy pop music (popcore?). We are fresh off of seeing popcore bands, Bilmuri and Skuff Micksun at The Beachland Ballroom...and we are joined by special guest, Sebastian! So grab a drink and join us for a post-concert riff. We held a spot just for you.

In preparation for seeing Blink 182 live, two aging corporate hacks travel back through time (business class of course) and listen to Blink 182's debut album, 'Cheshire Cat'. The album is 41 minutes long, the episode is 59 minutes, and the number of useful insights provided is debatably 0. Decide for yourself (how punk of you!) and let us know (via business memo)!

Our first review! Cleveland's own Biitchseat headlines with Arcadia Grey, Equipment, and Snow Ellet supporting. Plus check out our fun post-show interview with Snow Ellet who just released his new song, Elevator.
