Proud progenitor of #thegreatpodcastswindle. Since 2012, Jonah Ray, Neil Mahoney and Cash Hartzell have argued, laughed, loved and gradually cut back on their drinking all while loosely discussing and playing submitted music.
The three man team, often with a guest, sometimes without, are constantly pushing boundaries in the medium of "music news" Not since Rolling Stone introduced us to the New Journalism of Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson has a medium given rise to an artistic movement more clearly than podcasting and Jonah Raydio.
And as an investment in the phrase "the best music is the best because it's personal" each week our heroes match a situation, a hypothetical question with their own personal favorite. Past "themes" have resulted in a fantasy novel based on Run The Jewels, a playlist of Beta Male Bachelor Party bangers and new directions for corporate entity radio stations.
Jonah Raydio w/Cash feat.Neil. It's not your daddy's music podcast. It's Jonahs.
Hey everybody. This week, a local checks in from far away as comic and actor Steve Agee helps us try to find a new song for Neil! You may have noticed Neil owns like 25 albums from when he was in high school and 3 from college and then nothing else from the last, I dunno, 45 years. So this week, our game is to pitch Neil new music to see how he likes it.
Also we got Music Neüs, Canadian COVID restrictions and more!
Hey all. This week, we present our Christmas show! And just like the manger before the 25th, somebody is missing. Depite the glaring absence of Neil, we invite writer, podcaster, roustabout and past guest Elliott Kalan on to brighten our lives with his take on life. Elliott plugs his books, talks the Music Neüs that we love so much, and is there for the coolest thing this holiday season, the reveal of "Santa Was A Reindeer Driver"! It's an awesome show, so much fun you have to get in on it.
Hey everybody! This week returning guest, author, musician and comic Allie Goertz joins us. We Music Neüs, we do bits, and we talk about our favorite novelty songs. What else is in the teaches of Peaches? Check it the F out.
Sup? This week we keep it slim with just the three of us breaking down our favorite songs from twenty twenty as well as pitching Primus Christmas Music, reading Reddit reviews of a Metallica cover, and Cash refers to the desert-based music venue as “Happy and Parriot’s”. It’s a hell of a thing.
Hey buddies! This week, writer, producer, improviser, and good dude Matt Price joins us. Keen-eared listeners might remember Matt for his great podcast Whale Cave or from the Sklartactuar year end “Pass The Cord” episodes. We talk with Matt about his lockdown listens, his time on the seminal show The TV Set, and we grate his precious face on the blades that are Music Neüs. Wanna know the least popular Grammy nominations? Well, we got you covered.
Hey all! This week, musician, actor, and podcaster Chris Candy joins us for our tribute to ska. We play ska, we talk ska, and we live ska for an hour or so. Music Neüs is there for those who love neüs, This Week in Music History makes a small appearance, and we riff on the best real and fictional ska band names. PLUS Jonah has a revelation about a Blink-182 album title. Enjoy!
Word up, y'all. No guest this week. We are moving to a new release day so you can get your Raydio fix in before you dive into Jonah's new podcast LET ME WATCH YOUR MOVIE WITH YOU. This week, because of an odd reading of a perfectly straightforward text, Music Neüs is a little under-researched. But we make up for it with a rousing game of “not a cowboy hat”, dive deep in this day in music history, and just plain old argue with each other. It's what made us great!
