We Need To Talk.....About the show?? : Halftime Re-Cap

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/02/15

Send in your music story! Two halftime shows, one internet firestorm, and a promise to keep the conversation about music. We dig into why the official Super Bowl spectacle worked so well on a production level—think saturated color, precision choreography, and one unforgettable reveal where the “grass” was actually performers sprinting into place. From lasers and flags to a surprise on-field wedding, we unpack how the staging created emotion even for listeners who don’t live on club playlists....

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/02/13

Send in your music story! A famed musician vanishes, a car is left by a notorious bridge, and the clues refuse to agree. We dig into the disappearance of Richey Edwards, the intensely creative guitarist and lyricist of Manic Street Preachers, and follow the breadcrumb trail from London hotel checkouts and steady ATM withdrawals to a vehicle found near the Severn Bridge with empty bottles but no note, no body, and no closure. What begins as a straightforward timeline spirals into a maze of pos...

2026 Grammys Recap/ The H&B Awards!

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/02/09

Send in your music story! A blizzard outside, a firestorm in music. We start with the easy stuff—laughs, life updates, and a nostalgia trip through 2000s anthems—then dive straight into the friction points shaping live music right now: dynamic ticket pricing, runaway fees, and why mid-level artists can’t afford to tour while mega-acts sell out arenas. It’s Grammys week, but the real story sits underneath the trophies. We unpack a headline-heavy slate: tours from Queens of the Stone Age and Z...

Episode 182 WHERE ARE YOU : Blink182 Day

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/02/02

Send in your music story! Blink 182 isn’t just a pop-punk postcard from the past—it’s a living diary that swings between dumb jokes and devastating honesty. We dive straight into the songs that defined our teens and still sneak into our playlists: the rush of First Date, the eternal wink of What’s My Age Again?, the meme-proof pull of All the Small Things, and the gut-punch storytelling of Adam’s Song and Stay Together for the Kids. We even settle a lyric Mandela moment—“I wore cologne” chang...

Behind The Hook And Bridge: Fan Q&A

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/01/26

Send in your music story! Plans changed fast after a storm rolled through, our co-host got called into work, and the “Pokemon live play” turned into something more revealing. We open the mics and go all-in on the real stuff: how this show started, what we’ve learned from wild guests and early missteps, and how it feels to build a community when the industry worships follower counts over actual listeners. We swap nostalgia—VHS Pokemon marathons, Yu-Gi-Oh binges, and the new Pokemon LEGO sets ...

Music News, Laughs, And A Wild Game Night

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/01/19

Send in your music story! A wedding request to Scott Blasey, a brand-new video spinoff we’re slightly scared to make, and a lyric game that derails into glorious chaos—this one moves fast and hits a lot. We kick off by revisiting last week’s interview, then clip an on-air invite to the Clarks frontman to perform at a future wedding. From there we pivot into real talk about editing choices, how small cuts can smooth a show, and why honesty on the mic matters more than polish. Our music news r...

Songs, Stories, And more Scott Blasey of The Clarks

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/01/12

Send in your music story! A melody can hold a whole life. That’s where we start with Scott Blasey of The Clarks—peeling back the layers of songs that carry grief, joy, and the strange electricity of a room that finally goes quiet. Scott shares how Broken Dove found its shape after a late-night guitar figure unlocked everything, and why Irene needed space, pedal steel, and restraint to let a life story breathe. We talk right-hand rhythm, arranging for emotion, and the art of knowing when to st...

Christmas Recap/ Top 10 Songs of 2025

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/01/05

Send in your music story! Start with a question: what happens when your words shape your year? We dive into that idea headfirst, sharing New Year goals about speaking with intention, listening better, and even using silence as a strategic tool. From high-stakes business meetings to decompressing at home, we talk about how choosing our words—and choosing when not to speak—can shift outcomes, mindsets, and relationships. Then we pivot into our favorite kind of chaos: holidays, family, and musi...

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2026/01/02

Send in your music story! A cozy studio, too many Christmas decorations, and a pair of friends ready to argue about everything that matters—and a lot that doesn’t. We launch with a ridiculous “would you rather” (fight a chicken at every car door or one lion a year) and somehow end up in a serious conversation about risk, survival instincts, and how people make decisions when nothing is simple. Along the way, we get loud about regional dialects (Appalachia or Appalachian, creek or crick, pen o...

Music's Biggest Moments in 2025!

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2025/12/22

Send in your music story! It’s amazing how a show grows up. We started with wobbly mics and chaotic intros; now we’re three and a half years in, juggling season three plans, holiday chaos, and a creator workflow that actually works most days. The conversation opens with gratitude and candor—what lasting commitment feels like when the calendar fills with family visits, three different Christmas dinners, and a sleep schedule that doesn’t. We talk numbers without bragging and gear without gateke...

Top 10 Songs Everyone Knows the Words to!

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2025/12/15

Send in your music story! Ever watch a stranger melt down in public and wonder what the right response should be? We start with a jaw-dropping Walmart story—complete with aisle-side outrage and a hero repeating “why are you mad?”—and turn it into a bigger conversation about empathy, language barriers, and how to keep your dignity when everything feels loud. No lectures, just honest debate about patience, translation apps, and the tiny choices that make life easier for everyone. From there, w...

Taylors Big Beautiful Show!

Send in your music story! A birthday crown, a Charizard Loungefly, and a brand‑new Switch 2 set the stage for a wild ride through shiny hunts, DLC megas, and the strange magic of pacing a game you love. We get honest about Pokemon Legends ZA: the fun of guaranteed shinies, the feel of the world, and why the journey beats the postgame grind. Then the bombshells: DLC teases with Mega Chimecho, Mega Basculegion‑style reveals, Lucario Z, and a level cap blasting past 100 for the first time in 30 ...

Send in your music story! A church kid with a four-year-old’s guitar and a head full of melodies grows into an artist who threads love, doubt, and faith into a tight, modern pop record—this conversation with Ryan Woods brings that journey to life. We explore how God Boy is more than a title; it’s a lens for understanding infatuation, heartbreak, and the freeing moment when you accept your agency. From the shimmering rework of Loving You in the track two slot to the pulsing honesty of Gun in t...

Send in your music story! Ever want to throw a bag in the car, leave the stale routine behind, and floor it toward something that feels alive again? That’s the pulse beating through our conversation with Beth from A New Violet—a rock vocalist with a punk heart—fresh off the electricity of Warped Tour and deep in the craft of songs that move fast, hit hard, and actually say something. We dive into 66, a highway anthem that doubles as a personal dare: escape the four walls, grab the person who...

Chained Saint: Bringing 80s Metal Back!

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2025/11/17

Send in your music story! A metal icon noticed them first, but the story gets louder from there. We’re sitting with Chained Saint—teens with vintage swagger and modern force—unpacking how a Halford nod, a garage education, and a ruthless love of riffs turned into songs that hit like a live amp. We get into the DNA of their sound: Sepultura’s gravity, Pantera’s bite, and that Rush sheen hiding in the chorusy leads. Ethan breaks down a no-frills rig built around a JCM 800, Tube Screamer punch,...

Ultimate 90s Trivia Championship with Like Ghosts

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2025/11/10

Send in your music story! The volume’s up and the lane’s wide open: Like Ghosts return with a sound that folds bright synths into crunching guitars and somehow makes heartbreak feel like a victory lap. We sit down to map the jump from viral covers to original anthems, unpack why Wish You The Best leans further into pop and EDM without losing its punch, and trace the throughline that connects Better Now to the band’s next chapter. On tour, the new cuts didn’t just work—they ignited the room. ...

Send in your music story! A new studio, a baby in a duck costume, and a camera with a mind of its own—our fourth annual Halloween special brings joyful chaos and a whole lot of heart. We kick off in full costume as our musician alter-egos and end up trading real fandom takes that might ruffle a few feathers. Jelly Roll goes from bit to genuine respect, and our Eminem debate moves from the Slim Shady era to the lyric craftsmanship of Stan and Mockingbird. We also revisit Avril Lavigne’s early ...

From Womb Kicks To 90s Grit: LaureNicole’s Rock Story

The Hook and Bridge Podcast ·

2025/10/27

Send in your music story! A name that sounds like a solo act but moves like a band: Lauren Nicole joins us to unpack how a family-first rock project found its voice in 90s alt grit, pop clarity, and the kind of bridges that turn songs into memories. From kicking in the womb to Springsteen’s beat to taking the stage at eleven, Lauren’s path blends fearless beginnings with a modern, DIY engine—co-producing with her drummer husband, Jim, and partnering with veteran producer Dick Hodgin to drop j...

Send in your music story! A new logo, a crowded week, and a sprint from the gym set the stage for a sharp left turn: what happens when a customer snaps their fingers like you’re the help? We unpack the small humiliations of service work, the weirdness of tip culture, and the simple grace of eye contact and patience. Then we pivot to pure joy: a full review of The Dome in Virginia Beach—parking that actually works, fast entry, immersive lighting on every level, and a surprise P.O.D. set that j...
