Description

Dan Hanzus and Bob Castrone love listening to music- almost as much as they love hanging out in a garage and talking about it. On The Throwback Podcast, lifelong friends revisit important albums from their past and go through them--track by track-- with fresh ears. From the classics to the cringeworthy, every week is a throwback.

Or Death And All His Friends... but c'mon, not BOTH, right? Buckle up, because we're about to go on a Brian Eno-led adventure through Chris Martin's deepest and strangest album ever. Even more importantly, we pose the question: How did the "Yellow" guys become the BTS guys... and YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE ANSWER! 
Per the Throwback Podcast bylaws, every 2.5 years Bob must endure 85+ minutes of Dan gushing about U2. It's time to pay the piper.
Give us just one night (una noche) to take you back to October 2000, a wonderful time to be alive. Come on over with arms wide open, light it up and take a puff, and enjoy.

If you came from Greece, if you have a thirst for knowledge, or if you studied sculpture at St. Martin's College, BOY do we have the podcast for you. If you're 0-3 there, well, settle down and get ready for the most British episode of the Throwback Podcast ever. We don't want no trouble, we just want the right to be different. That's all. 
New Wave! Disco! Doo Wop! Whatever the hell "Puttin On The Ritz'" is! August 1983 was a wild time to be alive and a wild time to turn on the radio. Let's pop open an eggfull of pantyhose and get this party started.
How do YOU feel about the Oxford Comma? Actually, before you answer that, answer this: how do you feel about the platinum-selling debut album from a group of Columbia University preppies dancing around in khakis as they combine punk music with afropop? Think about it... or just push play and listen to US think about.

Welcome to the first installment of the newest Throwback Podcast Series: Appreciate. Do you appreciate Michael Stipe and his band of college alt-rock revolutionaries? Well, by the time you're done with this episode, you will.
What the hell was going on in the early 90's?? NKOTB? Color Me Badd?? Joey freaking Lawrence??? WHOA! I mean, seriously Early 90's... whatzupwitu?
Remember 2017? We don't. That's why seven years after covering Weezer's classic sophomore album, we're dusting off Pinkerton for another listen. Enjoy... but whatever you do, don't sign over power of attorney before you push play.

SUMMER '95 - Radio Mix #3

1 FM Radio + 1 Eternally Bored 15-Year-Old Bob + 1 Blank TDK D90 Cassette Tape + 2 Buttons (Play + Record) = RADIO MIX #3. Join a much, much older Bob and his 1995 Bosom Buddy Dan as they uncover a summer's worth of alt bangers from 90's luminaries like Bush, Filter, Primus, Tripping Daisy, and many, many more. We may never know what was on Radio Mixes 1 & 2, but at least we have this.
You heard us. It's happening.
If you like the White Stripes but LOVE Mudvayne, boy, do we have the podcast for you. Let's go back to May 2005, when there were two different types of rock music battling it out on the charts, and when Bob was making some HIGHLY questionable life decisions.
It's The Greatest Night In Pod, as the Throwback Podcast RETURNS with a USA For Africa-sized episode destined to save the world. Dan (the Lionel Richie of this operation) and Bob (clearly the Dan Akroyd) dig into Netflix's Greatest Night In Pop doc by revisiting the artists that made "We Are The World" the most incredible song ever recorded.  Join Us On Patreon

Remember the 90's? These guys do. In fact, they never left. In this Very Special Episode (tm) Dan and Bob pull out some of their favorite CD's from their 60-Disc CD changer to give YOU, the listener, the best songs to include on your So-Not-Basic 90's mix.

R.O.C.K: What does that spell?? It's time for part 1 of a two part 80's spectacular. Are you ready for the greatest Hair Metal hits of the 1980's and the stories that come with them? Order now!
Fire up the grill and break out the slip & slide - it's summertime! To soundtrack your summer fun, Dan and Bob compiled a playlist of the ultimate summer songs* [*for people born in exactly 1980]. So crack open a piña colada flavored Bartles & James wine cooler and enjoy!

They may not be in the garage and they're certainly not on TikTok, but Dan and Bob ARE BACK with an all new episode. This week, our suburban-raised heroes are rockin' The Suburbs, Arcade Fire's Grammy Award Winning masterpiece. If you have any issues with that, please address them to The Throwback Podcast's Office of Corrections / Department Of Go Fuck Yourself.
On March 25, 2022 the world was shocked to learn Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had passed away at the age of 50. For over 20 years he was Dave Grohl's right hand man, playing drums for alt-rock's most famous drummer, and amassing millions of fans around the world. Looking back at the Foo's past two decades of mega hits and successes, Bob and Dan share their favorite songs from The Taylor Era, dig into the band that was selling out arenas and winning Grammys while they were still looking for 'the next big thing',  and speculate about what comes next for this century's biggest rock and roll band.  
In 2006 the Arctic Monkeys burst onto the scene with a debut album that got the world talking. EVERYONE was ready to hand Alex Turner & Co. the keys to the kingdom... everyone except Bob and Dan. Were the lads from Sheffield worthy of the hype? Did they have what it takes? And was it even OKAY that they were shattering Oasis' records? In this long-anticipated episode, the boys unpack their feelings about the Monkeys... in their trademark "we weren't prepared for this at all" way.
