Going Off Track

Howard Beck

Senior NBA Writer for The Ringer and contributor to the NY Times, LA Daily News and Sports Illustrated, Howard Beck also knows a thing or two about music. Benny has a blast talking hoops with him and comparing basketball positions with band members.

Joe Godino

In another, 'pal-of-the-podcast' episode, we talk to the 2nd nicest drummer in the biz, The Menzingers' own Joe Godino. Yoga with the Descendents' Bill Stevenson, muscle maintenance with Hot Water Music's George Rebelo and hangin' with Kevin from The Office. It's all in there.

Dave Hause

Dave Hause is a great songwriter, singer, performer and an awesome podcast guest, especially for this show. Benny and Dave dig into their shared past, the rewards and pains of being a professional musician and Fat Mike's over-reaction to Dave's article on how punk-rock Taylor Swift was.

Donovan Woods

Listening to Donovan Woods talk is almost as good as listening to him sing. The lyrics are there! Maybe the backing track of Benny and Brad cackling at his stories isn't quite as nice as Donovan's sweet acoustic guitar but hey, it's storytime. Tim McGraw in a garbage can, check it out.

Emil Amos

Deep thinking drummer, podcaster and renown singer/songwriter, Emil Amos joins us gets way deep with Benny. "Melt down this whole machine so people can see what's inside the Matrix." Then he tells us about how hid dad used to be sailing pals with John Oates of "Hall and". It's a very Emil episode.

Jeff Rosenstock

Hot on the heels of finishing up his brilliant new album, Hellmode - our most popular, and represented guest of all time, singer/songwriter, music maniac, nice guy, Jeff Rosenstock! This is Jeff's 11th or 12th appearance on the show, his 4th solo episode and he is very happy to have coincidentally made episode #420. Please enjoy, we did.
