“My NEW favorite (for theme, structure, engaging guests, generous hosts, witty banter):
Each episode has a guest, each (so far) with some connection to the hosts. Jeremy, the host’s first three guests are from his improv group; the fourth episode’s guest is Beto Barakmo, Maxine’s boyfriend, fellow Fime band member, and guitarist/songwriter (of some renown, check out Fime Band on YouTube for proof!)
The theme is a (frequently violated or tangentially challenged) formula:
Special Guest talks about music they grew up listening to > anecdote > crazy story about friends or family > wild tangent > host piles on tangent > courteous realignment to the topic > guest shares three songs that inspired him/her, or influenced and moved them > extreme guided tangent > guest exits stage left (we hope) > liner notes discussion (occasionally a pop knowledge quiz that Maxine Garcia starts well and is eventually doomed to crash and burn) > teaser for the next exciting episode (same Bat Channel) > fond farewell.
I’m all in!”
