Summary
Steven and Ian begin by touching on the recent Jimmy Kimmel news, and whether the indie-rock podcast space is also in danger from federal interference (2:04). They then pivot to a quick Sportscast about the early dominance of Steven and Ian's favorite teams, the Packers and the Eagles (4:13).
After that, they usher in the first-ever Feudcast to cover the hilarious almost-fight between two bro-country dudes, Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock (9:57). Then they discuss the newly announced lineup for Coachella 2026 (21:28), and do a "yay or nay" on music festivals (31:28). Finally, they talk about Bleeds, the great new album from Wednesday (34:54).
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the latest from electronic artist James K and Steven goes with pop-rock singer-songwriter Brian Dunne (50:39).
