Final round! Last chance to chase those winter blues away with some cheery sunshine. It's the sunshine of your love and you are the sunshine of our lives. Don't let the sun catch you crying, there's a lot to be thankful for. We wish you all a joyous and wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Ooh! I bet you thought that was the Beach Boys! But nope, it's the Sunrays, and believe me when I say they live for the sun. Even heroes wear sunscreen though--there's only one Sunshine Superman who gets away with soaking up the sun. Chase away those SAD winter blues with our Sunny Songs series.
Did you soak up the sun? Did you tell everyone to lighten up? Well Sunny, it may not be a lazy Sunny Afternoon, but winter can still be a time to stand up, stretch the Kinks out, and say "Good Day, Sunshine!"
If you're in a part of the world that's getting the cold and the wind and the rain and the snow, it's time to add some sunshine to your day! We'll talk about fun sunny songs, from The Beatles to One Republic and everything in between.
One of the greatest Concept Albums of all time gets a full exploration: Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. English co-host Steve Atkins talks in detail about the culture and everyday life that informed the stories in every song.
The incredible story of Blue Oyster Cult, Imaginos, and a random-access myth decades in the making.
From Ziggy Stardust to Marilyn Manson, we discuss legacy Concept Albums, ideas that span multiple artists, one inspiring the other. This is part 2 of a 4-part episode series.
Recorded on Memorial Day (US) 2024, we take you on a four-part journey through some amazing Concept albums. There are far too many to discuss them all, so we carefully curated curiosities just for you.
We're back! After a down year, here we are with some of the best love songs of the 1960s
It's a big day for Steve! Join our Jubilation Celebration of the Island Nation's Coronation Situation! We celebrate with silly behavior and royalty-themed music.

As we wrap up our look at the famous musicans whose parents were also famous musicians, we can't help but think about how delightful it must be to grow up with musical talent and encouragement and yet how hard it also must be to step out of mom or dad's shadow and do things your own way. We celebrate these hard-working entertainers for all their efforts to bring better music to the world.
We share some great examples of the children of musicians who went on to themselves become famous musicians.
We go further into the very famous, their famous kids, and how a good legacy can bring good music across the generations.
We've been waiting to do this one for quite a while! Let's talk about how famous musicians have children who in turn grow up to be famous musicians! It's a huge industry, and as they say, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' Some amazing talent came from learning beside mom or dad, and we love being able to share that with you.
We wrap up sharing with you a lot of later-career songs and appearances that you may not have heard of. Did you know she did a song with her daughter? Did you catch her appearance on the TV show 'Glee'? Did you know she released albums through Hallmark? Yes, the greeting card and movie company--that Hallmark.
Beyond 'Grease', beyond 'Xanadu', we have a singer who truly cared about others and tried to make the world a better place.
Olivia! We Honestly Love You! Stepping into the '80s we get Xanadu, and we get Physical--hey, it's healthy!--and we go through all the pop hits too.
We were sad to hear of Olivia Newton-John's passing and felt it very important to share how much of her career beyond the iconic movie 'Grease' leaves a legacy.
And so we wrap up with a reminder that if Europe flies to Venus, they'll be very disappointed with the weather up there. Looking ahead, there's hope. We have each other and together we'll get through this thing called 'history in the making'. Until next time! Because there will BE a next time!
