The first episode of the podcast was released May 16th in 2011, almost four years ago to the day, and Danko has since then covered an impressive range of topics and has had a number of prestigious guests on the air. His friend, comedian, writer and punk/rock singer Nick Flanagan has been his cohost since the early days of the podcast, and has since returned for almost every episode.
During these past four years the podcast has evolved into a low-key, often fascinating and funny conversation between Danko and Nick concerning just about anything and everything, from rock music, chipotle and metal to Lady Gaga and children’s books and often accompanied by a guest. The podcast has had some pretty impressive guests come through, like Phil Campbell (Motörhead), Henry Rollins, Dizzy Reed & Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses), Jim Breuer, Brendan Canning (Broken Social Scene), Ron Sexsmith, Leslie Feist, Damien Abraham (Fucked Up) and Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall).
In the hundredth episode Danko revisits some of the high-points from the previous 99 episodes and also talks about why he first started the podcast and why he continues to do it:
“Whether people know it or not, I’m not the most outgoing gregarious fellow. I like to save it all, and spurt it out on stage. After that, I keep to myself. So, I’ve used the podcast to deliberately put myself in social situations. Of course the lure is, I get to be personal and social with people I admire, and they always yield some pretty great stories.”
