This is Podelay, a podcast dedicated to alternative rock pioneer Beck Hansen! After completing their Pod of Doom series, Randy Allain (Media/Lit) and Justin Mancini (TheCineMaverick.com) are back to take on a whole new genre. Our resident music podcasters are joined by Kris Ingersoll of Batman by the Numbers and the Media/Lit podcast, and this time, Randy steps into the host chair so that Justin can discover something new.

In the fifth episode, Justin and Randy discuss Beck’s follow-up to his commercial and critical hit Odelay. Cosmic mellotrons, blue-sky USA theme music, and some wicked harmonica receive mention here from an album that showed Mr. Hansen going back to his roots while retaining his idiosyncrasies. And while the hosts may be missing Kris on this episode, they have plenty of fun imagining his picks for this record (don’t worry folks, he’ll be back!)

In every episode, each host will spotlight the following:

· Where It’s At: a track they really like.

· It’s A Loser, Baby: a track they don’t.

· Sing It Again: a favorite lyric.

· Such A Beautiful Way: a favorite musical moment.

Join them as they travel to a destination a little up the road from the conversations and the pods you know. Please join us for the show that poses one simple question: I’m a podcast, baby, so why don’t you stream me?
